| Best MM? I was referring to the old Stantons and Pickerings that Chakster often speaks of; they were the best at that time, meaning the 50's and 60's.Although I didn't state it, I was only referring to MM as older cartridges. | |
| Best MM? When bringing up those "old" MM cartridges we were half way into MONO; it's for sure we weren't heavy into "sound stage". My point is; these new MM and MI cartridges can produce a holographic sound stage, and from the reviews I read, are comparab... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Chakster, if nothing was available but the "mid fi" crap that we thought was good for playing records, I wouldn't give you a nickel for a boatload of vinyl.The OP is right; if his analog rig isn't together, the digital will cream it, and all you h... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Minor, not everyone see's things from an Audiophiles perspective; that means there are some very good buys out there. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I think young people and records is grossly exaggerated; I only know my son's friends who are college educated, and none of them own or think about records; they're mostly into "streaming".Unless you're a "geezer", or "geezeress" who already owned... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Glupson, I felt like I was in a movie; I called it the "Glide Mobile", and we were constantly on the go while I DJ'd."Reverb" was popular then, and inside the car, it sounded like you were in a cave; a real out of this world sound; getting there w... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Glupson, they had 45 RPM record players that were installed in the glove compartment, and there was nothing "lo fi" about them; my lady friend had one in her 66 Electra 225, and if you hit a big bump, it would let out a reverberating "ping"; I enj... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD When I was in the Air Force, back in the good old days of propellers; once we were taking off overloaded, approaching the "go no go line", and about 10 feet off the ground; it was time to come down, throw on the brakes, and reverse props. (espec... | |
| Digital Flac files with a Tube Amplifier I use WAV. You're listening to ANALOG; digital is noise. When the digital inside you're computer comes out, and goes through a Digital to Analog converter, it becomes "Analog".Technically that was correct, but this forum doesn't recognize that a... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD When I listen to CD's, I hear music, when I listen to records (thanks to exquisitely set up high end rig) I hear music in a much deeper fashion; I hear nuances in records that I've heard hundreds of times, that I've never heard before.I hope to Go... | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? ebm, I just checked it, that is one fine phono, and the large separate power supply sells it for me.The way all of those NOS tubes are going up in price, I'm considering spare NOS tubes for everything. | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Chakster, it's good those tubes last, because the one's I have, have doubled in price.I have NOS British Mullard that must be at least 20 years old, and they have been working every day and night; plus, they sound like new to me. | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Inna, you will discover that 15 IPS with a good 2 track is complete overkill; that's for live. 7 1/2 will work very well for records and CD's. Yes CD's; they'll sound more like records on playback. | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Chakster, have you looked into Sugwang tubes? | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Yes, the OP is far from starter; he's so close, all he needs is some professional help that will steer him into the necessary changes. |
