| Cary in bed with Stereophile????? Reviewers keep their jobs by being excited and turned-on by the things they are asked to review. Could you imagine a music reviewer, for example, who actually told the TRUTH about 80% of the rock and pop music that comes out these days? Needless t... | |
| how long interconnect for MM cart? as always, thanks for the fast responses. I did some remeasuring, and am now getting 2.3 meter runs installed between the TT and the preamp/phono. I will get the table back in a week. I'll let you all know how it works out. The guy at the shop tol... | |
| direct drive tt's? I've been doing some comparison listening between the budget Thorens TD-180 belt drive turntable I was using, and the DD drive TT mentioned in this thread, and I've come to the conclusion that, using the same cartridge, the DD drive just simply ha... | |
| hopeless LP's Gregen -no, don't have that one. The F-D one's on EMI with G Moore accompanying I have are: Die Schone Mullerin; The Trout and other songs; Death and the Maiden and other songs.I was most fortunate about 6 years ago when I was working at a CD stor... | |
| hopeless LP's zaikesman - I think you named exactly the kind of distortion I am referring to. ticks and pops dont bother me at all, since that kind of noise pretty much always lets the "sound" still ride right along underneath. For example, old 78's are exactly... | |
| direct drive tt's? I am frankly stunned at how cheep used P3's with what by all accounts is a superb arm (rb300) go for. I am leaning toward keeping an eye pealed for one of those.As for the miida, yes, I am happy with it, and felt somewhat reassured when I had noti... | |
| Best integrated ever made ? badwisdom -I'm not disparaging your ears in anyway, but I do think maybe your experience and "sea change" simply MUST represent some of very interesting and important auditory "learning" process. Specifically, until you heard the Maestro (btw, wil... | |
| direct drive tt's? Ah, I see I have touched on one of the classic friendly debates here too ;) Well, yes, I am satisfied with the set-up right now. I am running a Sumiko Black Pearl cartridge right now, and the sound is, hmm, let me see... I will say it is punchy, r... | |
| directional cable? witchdoctorism? Actually, I think some cable brands ground their cable only at one end. That may be the instructional reason, even if sonically it makes no diff for us sane people. pcanis | |
| New Speaker Cable for New System Please try *not* bi-wiring. IMO, bi-wiring ruins the pacing and coherence of music. Can sound impressive, because it after all makes the bass and treb/mids "stand out" from each other, but experiment with, say, some classic jazz, and see if the co... | |
| Best way to clean vinyl ??? get a cheap nitty gritty, a manual model. I am simply reporting results here: records I have washed WELL with soap and water, from thrift stores and the like, still remained unplayable. A good soaking and vacuuming, and problem solved. There is no... |
