New favorite VINYL Album?
Bad Lieutenant's "Never Cry Another Tear". Bought this album a while back by accident. Few months ago got around to listening to it. I can't stop! If you like pop this is it. Better then any Joy Division or New Order album that I ever heard. Absol... 
Cartridge impedance loading question
I think you miss understood, I have no noise. I was just wondering if that ment I did not need any loading. Since posting I heard from the engineer/designer of phono and sut. He confirmed based on the cartridge I was using, he would not "use any a... 
Cartridge impedance loading question
Lloydc, that may true but my head hurts. I have read and reread. Still do not fully understand. I no longer care about a complete understanding. Now I just wish to understand from my situation. If I turn the volume up two or three or four times th... 
favorite phono cartridge
Lewm, at present I own the ortofon anna only. I have owned about 15 different cartridges. Many I was happy to get rid of. Some made me nervous(atlas, gold finger, XV1-s). Others just time for a change(moving target). All part of the experimate. If... 
favorite phono cartridge
I agree, there can be no definitive "best". There can be only a consensus "best". There certainly can be an individual's "best". "Best" is always a moving target. Quite often there are new bests. Positively subjective. Having said that, a "best" t... 
Anyone else making their own cables?
Did not say that but please explain Raymonda if you have some other way the cable is designed. I only know from what I have seen and read. I am very willing to listen(read) and learn from others. Please explain? 
Anyone else making their own cables?
Zd542, no I ment what I said. Single ended phono cables are balanced. They have two conductors attached to the rca plug. One to the center plug the other to the outside housing. Plus a shield ground wire that is separately attached to the sending ... 
Turntable dust covers
Had a dust cover. Eventually realized it was a pain lifting it off and on. Also it showed more dust on its surface then my tt. Got tire of cleaning it as well. It ended up in a closet. Eventually I sold that tt and included the dust cover in the s... 
Would vinyl even be invented today?
Um, I bought it! 59yrs. Thanks for the reminder. Pulling out for a spin. 
Would vinyl even be invented today?
vinyl(record/albums) not on the list. Just turntables. So I am guessing, it is just the appearance of and not the actual usage/interest/spinning of vinyl records. So in my mind that would tend to disprove your point. Besides it also suggest you do... 
Would vinyl even be invented today?
I think the wrong question has been asked here. The right question would have been "would cd's even be invented today?" The answer to that is obvious. Oh and what's a "hipster" anyway? I know what a hippy is. I am pretty sure vinyl is not about be... 
Best Integrated, period.
Like Melbguy1, I also own a Vitus SIA-025. My speakers are Magico Q5's. I recently sold my entire system. Now excluding my Q5's, I have a much smaller 5 box(DAC, Phono Stage, Integrated amp, Turntable/speed control and Music server)system. My room... 
Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight
common, I have owned the Stillpoints record weight for well over a year. It' is well made and looks very cool. But common, let's not make it more then it is. It is a very cool record weight. No more. The idea that it transforms your TT set up in t...
