| Something just isn't there lobsterrotter ...First and foremost, consider your room to be THE major component in your system. You can solve the "wife problem" by investing in Synergistic Research HFT's. These little guys are NOT subtle at all. Highly recommended. http://high... | |
| Clean away old CD treatments rfprice ...You can save a lot of cash by buying a Radio Shack VCR tape eraser and using that to demagnetize your CD's. I've used one for over 20 years and they work as well as any. Just be sure to get the one for VCR's and not the smaller one that... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? I tried pot once. It made me want to rape and kill. | |
| Cartridge recommendations for second system turntable please Arsh ...You say you like to play a lot of jazz. I'd recommend the Audio Technica OC9-MKIII. Its a killer for the money ($499 at LP Tunes) and it really gets down into those mono grooves. http://www.lptunes.com/Audio-Technica-AT-OC9-III-ATOC9M-III-... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ NIce ... thank you. Pretty much what we've all been experiencing. Very cost effective tweaks. I'm in the process of getting system covered with Herbie's tube dampeneres at the moment ... another VERY worthwhile tweak. After the tubes are do... | |

| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... rja ...Alvin and the Chipmunks? I hope your weren't kidding. My friend Robert collects those guys. He brought over a couple of their records a week or so ago ... funny stuff, and the music isn't bad. | |
| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... ^^^ Well, of course I never said that I didn't like Wagner. I have the entire "Ring" on vinyl in several box sets. I don't listen to Wagner, or other German operas often as I much prefer Puccini operas over the German ones. Although, I DO find R... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... OMG!Talk about luck ... we found two Decca 10" Django Reinhardt LPs in a used record store this week for ten-bucks each. They both feature Reinhardt on guitar of course, and Stephane Grappelly on violin. The vinyl and covers are in mint condition.... | |

| Your Go to CD to Impress If its a guest who knows nothing about audio, I always ask them what kind of music they enjoy. If they answer: "Oh, just about anything," I just quietly turn the system off and say ... hey, why don't we go to Baskin Robbins for an ice cream cone?" | |
| Cartridge Recommendation srafi ...In your price range, the Audio Technica ART-9 is the obvious choice. Its a wonderful cartridge, tonally correct, it makes nothing but music and never calls attention to itself. Here's a link to a thread here on A'gon. https://forum.aud... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge ^^^ It will improve with a little age. I heard a mega-buck system over the weekend with three turntables sporting a total of four tonearms, one of which had the Lyra Etna on it. Great cartridge to be sure ... but I really didn't feel I was missi... | |
