regular vinyl pressings
Just enjoy the music...Again, that's why I use a modded Technics 1200. It's music friendly. 
regular vinyl pressings
ECM, Warner Bros. jazz label would be at the top of my list.To me, the important thing is to try to get the original first release pressings of whatever is I'm looking for, if possible. Not just for the pressing, though. Some first releases are fo... 
Urgent Help: Wire for dedicated lines???
Bob, this subject of not feeding power amps through power conditioners is questionable. I figure the conditioner must be properly designed to start with. I have a Tice A/V Solo and it has separate filtering for power amps. For larger power amps Ge... 
help me with cheap tape deck.
Why don't you get an A/D converter and burn copies of your vinyl? Kind of going backwards using a cassette deck. I have a Nakamichi BX-1 I bought at a garage sale for one dollar. I'll give it to you free if you pay the shipping. It will take about...

You can get a decent used reel to reel for a little bit more! 
Urgent Help: Wire for dedicated lines???
So if the twist of the wires is in the same direction then there's no common mode rejection, correct? Why twist them, then? I'm not being argumentative here, just want to find the facts. 
Urgent Help: Wire for dedicated lines???
Bob Bundus, there's something I don't understand about the homemade power cable. From what I understand the (+) and the (-) are twisted so that the interference cancels itself out. Now what is to be done with the ground cord? Use two wires and twi... 
Low Output MC's- Are We Playing W/ Fire ??
VERY good point, Sean. I learned a BIG lesson when I switched to the Monolithic PS-1. So much music coming out! I realized then that going down in output was not the path I should follow...I'm not anywhere near as qualified as Sean and others in e... 
Low Output MC's- Are We Playing W/ Fire ??
Sc53, my low output MC phono preamp has no noise...one of its previous owners had a Linn Sondek with a Monster Alpha, but the Monolithic Sound PS-1 I recently bought (plain version, $300 for the demo) totally outperforms it in musicality, dynamics... 
For those that recently contacted me....
Are you still 10-7? 
Low Output MC's- Are We Playing W/ Fire ??
Doing it right with a low output MC needs quite a bit of money and planning. I won't go down into the low output range although I have a good MC preamp capable of handling 0.3-0.5 mV.I don't think it's worth to go down into the 0.2 mV range. Obvio...

No, I don't use personal coaching. I have talked to one once and she decided that I did not needed such a service. Some people do need a personal coach and it's a totally valid option to help themselves achieve goals. However, the coach is not goi...

There's no anger on my behalf, man! And controversy is not misbehavior, much less referring to medieval times. I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with you or anyone in this thread. Why are you so upset?I just have had a reputation since being i... 
Cartridge Longevity?
Listen to the Psychic...My last MC was a Sumiko Blue Point. I really liked its musicality and dynamics. Now I have an Ortofon X5. I'm not going back to Sumiko. The Ortofon is three dimensional yet crisp in the highs and a very good tracker. Detail...

I have finally learned how to stirr controversy in this site and not get heat...
