| Quiet Tonearms/cartidges?? All the geeks will talk equipment but the truth is: If you feel the occasional click or pop is an intolerable distraction or that it interferes with the believability of the performance, then don't bother with vinyl. You may get through many sides... | |
| Recommend speakers for a restaurant sound system I assume visual aesthetics are important? Black boxes hung in corners are ugly to my eyes.. if you can't do in-wall, how about something different.. check out Gallo's little satellites, I believe they come in a variety of colors. | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 I agree with the O/P. I just went from an Oppo 981 to the BluRay (thus skipping the 983), and standard DVD was so much better on the Oppo BluRay player that the comparison of standard DVD to BluRay wasn't all that impressive. Kinda like a very goo... | |
| Can I match or beat my digital, and at what cost? Welcome to vinyl! My advice going forward: All due respect to local retail dealers, I found that the folks on this forum provide me with very experienced advice without the inevitable dealer ulterior motivation of upselling me only the shop's limi... | |
| Anyone modify the K&K phono stage? I believe designer Kevin already offers the most wortwhile mods... you can play with personal preference tweaks.. for example Kevin prefers Cardas caps over Vcaps.. and of course the small stuff - tube dampers (I use herbie's), footers.. etc. Mine... | |
| K&K any comments? So you preferred the LL1931's to the S&B SUT's, or do you think eliminating the extra cable may have contributed to the improvement? | |
| Bottlehead seduction vs minimax phono I'll chime in with some experience in that price range: I own the K&K kit and it sure sounds like music to me. Others I've heard and considered worthy: Hagerman Trumpet(quiet and dynamic, but awkward form-factor), Art Audio Vinyl One (amazing ... | |
| Serious Addiction to Gear I think it's an addiction. In fact, I just had a paranoid rush that my wife had posted this. Seriously tho, it really feels like an addiction when I allow myself to be self-aware about it. A few tricks that have helped me: 1. Buying a house, resul... | |
| Wilson's new speaker the Sasha is coming. Meh. Their marketing is not for music lovers, it's for rich boys who like to buy expensive toys.. Silly women's names.. "I had Sophia last year, but now I have Sasha!" I'm going to start a speaker company, my first model will be called "Steve". | |
| What is "rich mans" DL-103? Unrelated and boring: Can someone explain the sonic difference between the 103 and 103r? I recently mounted a Uwe wood body (Panzerholz)103 on my spacedeck. Very impressed. This is in direct comparison to a Virtuoso Wood MM. I prefer the Uwe/103, ... | |
| HELP Stylus Cantilever slightly bent to the left Funny, I guessed this was a Clearaudio Virtuoso by the subject line. The cantilever on this cartridge seem inevitably prone to damage. | |
| Wall mount TT shelf recommendations What's the DIY site? I'd also love to install one... although I'm very afraid this effort won't pass WAF (it will have to next to the TV in the (small) living room. | |
| Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF I'd go with something that has inherent design sacrifices in those aspects that you no longer require (high SPL's, big dynamics, large room bass) in exchange for excellence in the qualities you can still fully enjoy: detail, transparency, microdyn... | |
| Comments about Nottingham quirks As a Spacedeck owner, I personally love the spin-by-hand starting.. it's convenient and makes me feel like a club dj. My tonearm is a Nottingham (Pre-Anna) "The Foot" (yes, it's 12") and it does hum like crazy with a low output Zyx. But it was re-... | |
| Wall Hugging w/Imaging & Depth? SET amplification seems to help. How about Audio Note A/N E's? |
