| "House sound" of VPI, Clearaudio, Rega, MH, etc. Buying a used table/arm and a new cartridge with your budget you can certainly do way better than a P3/24, and the diminishing returns syndrome is overrated IMHO as long as the rest of your system is up to the task. You should be looking at table/... | |
| LP for fathers day ideas please............ oops. I meant "freshly out on LP" of course... | |
| "House sound" of VPI, Clearaudio, Rega, MH, etc. Do you have a budget in mind and are you wanting go used or new? | |
| Anyone into 78s, mono classical LPs? Ralph, how different is the RIAA curve to what would be appropriate for the average 78? | |
| Anyone into 78s, mono classical LPs? Thanks for both of your responses. I've got far more records than I have time to listen to so I tend to look for excuses to pair down. Silly me. There often seems to be a relaxed directness to the earlier recordings that offers a refreshing perspe... | |
| Anyone into 78s, mono classical LPs? I guess I was hoping to hear from anyone who has a particular fondness for the above as to why they do.No takers? | |
| Coupling capacitors give warm & sweet sound Undertow,just in case my last post wasn't clear, Peter Moncreif and his associate at Running Springs are continually changing the recipe.

It's only freshly out on CD as Kavi gave up putting out vinyl just about the time that recording was released, bad timing I always thought. I have one or two Of his recordings... | |
| Coupling capacitors give warm & sweet sound Thanks Undertow. I believe there is a new version of the DynamiCap that is used in the new upper end Aesthetix Io Eclipse phono stage. As you may know a lot of these caps are designed and manufactured by the same person, not that they are the same... | |
| Coupling capacitors give warm & sweet sound Undertow,were your comparisons done as coupling caps in tube electronics or in speakers? What were your impressions of the DynamiCaps? And were they all sufficiently burned in? | |
| Furutech / Air Tight LP Flattener - do they work? Most oven's minimum setting is about 150 which is more like what is required as long as you turn it off. | |
| Anyone into 78s, mono classical LPs? S.E. Iowa. There are about maybe 100 classical 12" 78s, about 50 classical 12" mono LPs and about 20 classical 10" LPs. My own preference is for stereo LPs unless the music is extraordinary. There are a bunch of 10" jazz LPs that are great music a... | |

| Furutech / Air Tight LP Flattener - do they work? A surprising number of new heavy audiophile pressings have severe dishing that can't be removed with a record clamp, not to mention older discs. There's another thread here that outlines the frustration of both customer and retailer regarding the ... |
