| Good looking Towers for < $2000? Thanks for saying I made a decent point Simao. But since it is about buying speakers, I feel I made excellent points. Especially the part about asking what kind of amp he has first which is paramount in selecting any speaker.And why is my commen... | |
| Good looking Towers for < $2000? Sorry but you are trying to pick out speakers the worst way possible - by how they look, written reviews and asking for suggestions from strangers on the internet who will tell you what they have or want to have. But how does anyone really know if... | |
| Ortofon bronze PNP ALERT!!!!! You bought a second hand cartridge originally purchased from an unauthorized dealer - that's grey goods, second hand grey goods.The responsible party is the person you bought it from not the manufacturer. You're lucky Turntable Needles agreed to e... | |
| No bass with new turntable? Don’t know why the elephant in the room hasn’t been addressed by anyone and I don’t want to be snarky but what did you expect from that tt, you know what it cost?And your point is?Even a Pro-ject Carbon Espirit fitted with an Ortofon 2M Red is cap... | |
| No bass with new turntable? I love vinyl!That being said, I would never say it sounds better than digital. But it does sound different and 9 out of 10 times, I prefer this difference in an LP rather than its CD counterpart. Vinyl also gives me more of an emotional connecti... | |
| Which speakers do you like in the $5K price range? To the author of the post made on 1/28/16 @ 2:53 am.I wonder if the OP has bought his new speakers by now as its been 13 years since he asked the question. LOLJust curious why ancient threads get resurrected? | |
| Be careful when dealing with Pyon Sound - John Park It was around 2015 Feb.So all this happened about a year ago. And now your telling us. So do you still have the TT as I assume he hasn’t responded to you in a year. Moving forward, don’t get lulled in uber low W&F measurements - anything below... | |
| Cartridge Question Thanks for explaining srafi, but we know what your problem is. The installation of a new cartridge will cause a totally new calibration of your tonearm. Follow Dover’s instructions and links he provided. They are quite clear.Again, pay special att... | |
| Cartridge Question Did you adjust your cueing control? That has to be adjusted also with any change in VTA. | |
| MC Cart and pre amp question HOMC cartridges are designed to be used with MM phono stages so no problem here. But you may have another problem. The platter on your Pro-ject Carbon is metal and an MC cartridge may "stick to it" Ask your Pro-ject dealer specifically what kin... | |
| Blown speaker, stupid move? Hey guys...If ebm ever makes a worthwhile post that actually contributes something, let me know OK? But I won't hold my breath. | |
| What turntable would be great for techno/ electronic music? For this type of music, I agree with direct drive.The new Technics SL-1200G will be available for a price between the RP-8 and The Oracle Paris this summer. But why spend this much if your just getting into vinyl - why not consider the new 700 Pio... | |
| Is it really night and day LOL...I like it! Then sadly I'm afraid I am not a happy audiophile as I am always looking at new gear. | |
| Another Audio website asked the question how much money did you spend on your turntable It all depends on the website and who frequents it. I think your assessment is more correct, at least here at Audiogon and other true HiFi sites that take two channel music seriously. | |
| Proportion of expenses I think its silly to even attempt to build a system by allocating a percentage of funds to each component and then trying to stick to that number.A great system is only as good as its weakest link! Therefore you want to select components that work... |
