| Origin DC Motor in LP12: Marketing or reality? DCAudio...what do you hear as a result of the new motor? Are the dynamics changed? How is the soundstaging? Low/high ends? Is the music more 'musical'? | |
| Origin DC Motor in LP12: Marketing or reality? Thanks for the response...I really appreciate the information.I am mainly concerned with two issues. I probably should have stated them up-front. And my concern is more in how it would affect my listening experience.1. Will there be a gain or loss... | |
| PC Software converts 16/44 to 24/96 format P.S. I was not referring to 24/96khz format, but rather the change from 16/44khz to the better format. To me that would be like taking cassettes and putting them on reel to reel, but thru a filter that would make it 'seem' more musical. | |
| PC Software converts 16/44 to 24/96 format Will this actually give you better sound? Or is this the 2004 equivalent of "Stereo Re-Processing"? If the sound quality is not there to begin with, I can't see how adding random or spurious or even calculated information will help. | |
| Gruve Glide Even though the stated purpose of Gruve-Glide is to reduce static, I've always thought that it acted as a lubricant on the grooves. I get better imaging, and a more 'liquid' sound. I use it sparingly on an LP-12 with a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood MkI... | |
| "Emotionally involving" music and your system... I think the differences between recordings can be major, although the added interaction of audience and musicians can be much better.Friends & I have been sitting down on Friday evenings to listen to and compare many different pressings of an ... | |

Here's my list:FOLKMost of Stan Rogers (folk category):Album - 'Fogarty's Cove' / Songs - "Fisherman's Wharf", "The Wreck of the Athens Queen"Album - 'Between the B... | |
| Is this the best analog has to offer? All of the previous comments are great!My experience is that anytime I or any friends have done an A/B comparison between an LP and CD, the LP is superior. The vinyl always shows better soundstaging, more natural sound, much more detail and better... | |
| New Guy asking for help Ok...here goes.Nirvana always "seems" to be in someone else's system, but is no farther than our own minds. I all depends on how you define "This" or "That".If you stand on your head halfway between this and that, you don't have to change the floo... | |
| Review: Joule Electra VZN-220 Rites of Passage Tube amp Great review, Joe! | |
| Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'?? Psychicanimal...I agree that all of those cartridges mentioned are still around, but I would ask you, or rather the maufacturers, how these cartridges sound compared to the equivalent-named models of years ago. Also, for some of them, those cartri... | |
| Feel vs. Think - take an objective look... I'd like to point out that neither "I feel..." nor "I think..." are fact. They are both subjective. The difference is where our perception comes from. However just about ALL appreciation of music comes from feeling and/or our subjective interpreta... | |
| What LP shows what analog can do? Try any of the Classic Records Living Stereo releases for classical. Very quiet vinyl and great quality recordings overall. In particular, try "Witches Brew". It is an awesome recording. | |
| Dynaco owners please comment Another path to take is to check out Frank Van Alstine at Jensen Stereo Shop in Minnesota at http://www.avahifi.comfor upgrades to the Dynaco equipment. I have a modified 150 amp and it's great! |
