| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD When I was in high school, we stacked 45's a mile high on a record changer at parties; this was in the 50's. In good condition, they would be worth big bucks now. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD The owner of the biggest record store in St. Louis is still into "mid fi".Each to his own. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD For me, it's 100% about the music, but without the high end turntable and cartridge, there is no music.Once you've been to New York or Paris, you can never go back home; or once you've been to the high end, you can never go back to "mid fi". | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Pardon me, but I can think of nothing dumber than buying records for those so called "starter turntables" like bikes with training wheels. Records are expensive, and without an expensive high end analog rig, plus the knowledge to put it all toget... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD The OP has legitimate high end analog, and because he didn't adjust it properly, or have the right cartridge, it sucks; give me a break with all these young people buying records. Why?and why don't statistics, such as the one's Tomycy61 posted on... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I asked my young 40 year old neighbor, if any of his friends who he went to college with, were into records or CD's; "Neither", he replied, "They're into streaming"I have my doubts about all these young people into records; maybe they aren't colle... | |
| Best MM? Since there is no way we can compare the Stantons and Pickerings to the Grado; is there any way we can compare the Grado to the Grado; I want some verification beside your word. | |
| Best MM? Time marches on, and so does progress; a lounge where a jukebox sits was not a listening room; things like "sound stage" and holographic image were not considered.My Grado Master 2 can create a holographic sound stage, could the Stantons and the P... | |
| Best MM? Chakster, and Lewm, that catalog confirms some things I stated awhile back about jukeboxes. It said the Stanton cartridges were made especially for broadcast and recording professionals. Jukeboxes that went into the lounges in the early 60's wer... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Elizabeth, if you read between the lines most of us are already "geezers", including yours truly.Presently, I'm discovering a record collection that I didn't even know I had; mostly in the form of records I had written off, but after a number of u... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Analog is so very un-economical that it's only worth the price to people who had large record collections when CD's came on board. Although they initially went to CD's, all the fuss about LP's aroused their curiosity.Since they already had the so... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD That link with the charts confirms precisely what I posted 12-03-2018 9:44 AM, but nobody agreed with me. That confirms another one of my suspicions; we have a lot of "geezers" on this forum who are guilty of wishful thinking, and they express t... | |
| Best MM? You were never specific; Stanton and Pickering have been around for a long time and they were always considered top cartridges. If I only have your word in regard to comparisons of current MM's, I don't feel that's enough to go on.I was using Empi... | |
| Best MM? Once upon a time, I bought everything my favorite reviewer at "Stereophile" recommended that I needed. That worked out very well, until we got to cartridges. I did not like the cartridge he recommended, and it was even one of the favorites on th... | |
| Best MM? There is no way I can debate "sound stage" in regard to any cartridges before the 90's, because I didn't get into that until after I got into the "hi end" which was early 90's.Now that I'm into the whole bit about air and space around instruments,... |
