| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD glupson,Yes, there certainly are some ironically named users on this site ;-)Whereas Cleeds’ info was good, and presented fairly and with civility. | |
| Thiel Owners I hesitate to mention how much I got my Ebony 2.7s for on Audiogon! It was a price I really couldn't pass up. Ridiculous bargain for these speakers.But if I hadn't happened upon them, I'd still probably be taking a look at that pair in jon's link. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Holy cow, we are still getting the old myth "digital doesn’t capture the complete soundwave, but analog does!"???It’s no wonder people who know something about digital lose patience with the bogus arguments raised by vinyl lovers.There are various... | |
| Thiel Owners I'd also mention the Vivid speaker frankly looked and felt cheaper than my Thiel 2.7s (or my previous 3.7s, or the CS6s). There has always been an obvious pride of build quality that came through Thiel speakers, which translates IMO in to a prid... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I often see vinyl fans bemoaning the fact that so much new vinyl is produced from digital masters. Some say "why bother buying a vinyl made from a digital master, doesn't it just defeat the point?"Not for me.I buy both old vinyl albums and tons o... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @snowdog212I have to echo the sentiments some others have expressed.I'm not sure how to reconcile your observations about all the terrible surface noise obscuring the delicate musical content on LPs, with my own experience of vinyl on my system.On... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @innaBy the way, I disagree with those who think that good digital is less expensive, I think exactly the opposite. That’s cool.But then I suggest you should change the following:You really need extremely expensive equipment to make digital tolera... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @glupsonRe: record storage.That certainly is an issue. I’ve dived deep in to vinyl in the past couple of years and I find it completely energizing in terms of my passion for music and for listening to my system. Yet I also don’t want to end up f... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. QUESTION: Roger (or Ralph?)...Question about the effects of different impedance settings and phono cartridges.I’m a newbie with high end turntables (just replaced my old turntable with a much better one). My phono stage is convenient in that it al... | |
| Thiel Owners My hearing issue is improving enough to get bits of listening in on my system (not too loud).And on that note: I visited my pal’s place today because he currently has in the new Vivid Kiya speakers. He has many thousands of bucks worth of Nordost ... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD digital is getting pretty good these days. I think digital got beyond pretty good to excellent long ago.I had a Meridian 508.20 cd player in the 90's and onward, and it sounded beautiful and quite "analog." Today I use a Benchmark DAC and it soun... | |
| Thiel Owners @thielrulesMusic Reference Amp designer, Roger Modjeski, has been pointing out on a thread in the amps forum something I think we often forget: that most audiophiles often overestimate how much amp power they actually need. Most are barely using t... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I was really just too lazy to bother dumping or selling my old LPs I accumulated while growing up. They sat at my mother's place for years so they were available when I decided to re-visit them. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Hi Chadsort.I’m not going to try solving your problem for you, as I don’t have the expertise with turntables others have. Though I’m a long time audiophile and have owned a turntable for many years, it’s only very recently that I dove in with much... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Thanks again, Roger.Cary has had notoriously bad measuring amplifiers for as long as I can remember. They have long been the poster-boy amps when people want to argue the "measures awful, but sounds great" stance. Personally, it’s been far too lon... |
