| Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT Lugnut,Your good!Thanks for not letting the nah sayers stifle your comment. I don't know if I could be called a classic Linnie in that I love my tube amps. Ivor has the source handled for my analog and digital. I also have an Ikemi CD player and I... | |
| Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT Richard, I from time to time feel your pain on the "particular" equipment bashing. You know well enough, Krell/B&W800's is a amp/speaker match made in heaven. Great synergy there. I think people still under estimate the complexity of amp/speak... | |
| Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT Thank you all so far for a further enlightenment to my conundrum. To add to my explanation of the current condition. My living room set up has Coincident Total Eclipse speakers three feet off the short wall of a 15'by 26' space. My Atma-Sphere mon... | |
| Ready to try vinyl Johnnantais, Point taken. I found you just a bit quick on the hammer to dismiss a lot of previously held research and knowledge as simpleminded belief. True genius and raving lunacy both come from those beginnings (the ones of dismissing...). And ... | |
| Ready to try vinyl Johnnantais, by the way you're beloved Art Dudley of Listener fame (also a personal favorite of mine) has several reference turntables. One is a Linn Sondek Lp12 with a Ittok LVII tonearm and Lingo power supply (as do I) and another is the Linn So... | |
| Ready to try vinyl Johnnantais, I don't know you and I don't see or here your point. What is your point in this tie raid ? Please, you could start by giving everyone here a break from your blah, blah ,blah (history?) lesson. Someone other than you on this flat earth... | |
| Ready to try vinyl Understand that you must drop a bit of cash to get a turntable that will do the trick. The Rega 3 with a Dynavector was an excellent suggestion. Matching a TT and tone arm is a lot like matching amplifiers to speakers. A definite synergy is called... | |
| Your opinion on the evolution of amps since 70s? I'm with Ralph(Atmasphere)on this one and I see "high-end" as a long term investment to be made carefully and enjoyed. That is why I have put my money where my mouth is and I now am the proud owner of a pair of Atma-Sphere Silver Edition MA-1 MkII... | |
| Is my cartridge the problem? Wc65mustang is on to something. Jay w I am afraid your journey as a mid-fi to Hifi guy has began. Your ears have out grown your wallet. Join the club! Jump in, the water is fine! Enjoy | |
| Record Cleaner Paul_frumkin has made an informative point. This just adds to your credibility with me kind sir. | |
| Record Cleaner Kel34 Please don't blame the record cleaning machines it is the record quality that is most inconsistent "Record washing does not seem to be an exact science" and "none yield consistent results". There isn't a record cleaning machine or cleaning f... | |
| Is it worth purchasing the VPI 16.5? Short answer: yea. I don't believe there is any debate left to quibble about weather or not to own a record vacuum cleaner either from the point of view for playing a quiet record or preserving that record for future playing imo. What is your reco... | |
| I know I have lost my mind and have gone insane Punkawalla is correct in imo about the time smear aspect. | |
| Looking for phono stage recommendations Flyingred is spot on with his offering of the EAR834P and you could have plenty of cash left over to buy more vinyl! | |
| Can HI FI components really make music? Your talking crazy talk with gear like that! Is there an audiophile or two that lives near Braro?! He needs an intervention... but seriously, it sound from here like a fine rig. What do your friends think of the system? Sometimes we get too close ... |
