| Hearing loss and audio reviewers ? READ ON HUGH! Sorry, couldn't resist. I may not have the greatest hearing statistically but I'd still enjoy the Pixies over Yanni. Happy Listening! | |
| Rudy Van Gelder: Genius or just lucky? I'm with Khaki8 on the point that the original vinyl is representative of fine musical reproduction and engineering. It's shoddy repressing or digitization that has degraded the sound quality IMHO. Go back to the original mono vinyl and give credi... | |
| Linn Linto phono stage with Scout/JMW9 I can only concur with your reasoning and taste in cartridges and add that the Linto is the quietest phono stage I have ever heard (also very musical). I owned one for nearly a decade and should never have sold it. On the subject of cartridges kee... | |
| What does a vinyl record groove look like? What's the difference in pictures... How about the fact that the magnification is miles apart between photographs? Mark's is a close-up with a Electron Microscope and shows the detail within the groove and the stylus and the other is not as close-... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? Donshoemaker, Your wit is killing me! Thanks ;^) | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? I wouldn't have a woman that didn't love music and the Arts. That all has a direct relationship to passion, and I couldn't live with out it. Warrenh, Very well put. Sometimes it takes more words to explain a delicate balance of power and finesse. ... | |
| Akiva or Titan I stand corrected. Sorry for the misinformation all. My intention was certainly not to discredit Lyra as I find their scan-tech manufactured cartridges and also the ones provided for Linn to be outstanding in the market place of many great cartrid... | |

| What does a vinyl record groove look like? To add a bit more accurate information about how grooves get there, it is a lacquer that the cutter head cuts the groove in. Not vinyl or metal as previously mentioned. Then the lacquer (mother) disk is electroplated with silver and nickel to crea... | |
| Can you still get into CES on the last day? Jaybo, Do ya think they would let my cat in? He seems to like listening to vinyl but, when I put a CD on he looses interest and gets up and walks away. Even with the convenience of remote control and me staying put on the couch with him isn't enou... | |
| Akiva or Titan Kinsekd, I thoughly enjoy my Lp12 with an Ittok LVII arm and Akiva cartridge. I'm giving it 62db gain from a Aesthetix Rhea and it sounds beautiful. Sorry but I have not compared the Titan in the same deck. My only impression between the two is th... | |
