Interesting article Um, I found it boring and not very informative. Understanding on how 3D sound works is something we all should have known many moons ago. Also, the relative reason we are attracted to music and its recreated form is not news, either.At one time we... | |
Adventures in Table Shopping Yes, as I mentioned, an inexpensive cartridge, set up properly, can out perform an expensive one. Again, a modded dl 103 can out perform many more pricier cartridges. Price doesn't guaranty performance. | |
Adventures in Table Shopping Note there's no section in audio asylum called "playback" that is obvious, so that's that. No, you would need to go to www.taperssection.com and then to their "playback" section.A good inexpensive cartridge can out perform an expensive one if i... | |
Adventures in Table Shopping Wolf Garcia,If you are interested in the Project Classic you might consider my new build, which is just being finished off. It is a totally Hot Rodded TD 150. Only the chassis, platter and bearing assembly from the 150 was used, with the rest bein... | |
Watch out boys,there's a new game in town! Clean and classy. I don't think it would perform as well as I would like but it looks great and one of the best looking life style products I've seen. | |
Janis Ian "Breaking Silence" 45RPM 2 disc reissue As a recording engineer, I had the opportunity to track and mix a recent show of Janis. She certainly puts on a great show and is a sweet heart to work with.From that session I have a great high rez recording, time spent with a great artist, and q... | |
Feedback through turntable I don't know why I assumed he had an integrated..........just run longer interconnects and keep your amp where it is. Having your turntable so close to the speaker is just not smart. Also, do not place your table in a corner after you move your s... | |
Feedback through turntable You might be getting airborne feedback as well as mechanical. I, for one, would never place my table behind and so close to a speaker. It is a recipe for disaster. Run longer speaker cables and move your source away from your speakers. | |
Potting a Denon dl-103r Potting a 103 has been, IME, a great tweak and well worth the effort. As a matter of fact, I found running a 103 nude with a carbon fiber top plate and potted to be the best version of this over achieving cartridge. And, yes, it sounds better than... | |
Thorens TD 150 super rebuild What table and tonearm do you need the board for? I use 3mm pure carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is really easy to cut and can be bought using US vendors on ebay. You could use thicker than 3mm but I find 3mm is great for this purpose. | |
Thorens TD 150 super rebuild Wish I knew how to post pictures but there are some over in my virtual syatem, for those interested. | |
recommendations of phono preamps < $3000 range Ron Sutherland is a super guy and very responsive to his customers. You can't go wrong with one of his products. | |
New Technics SL 1200 GAE DJ's with money will buy them. Who do you think bought all those gold plated 1200's, customized, powdered. coated, bling out 1200's. As soon as the big name DJ's have them the masses will follow. $1600 today is close to the actual cost of a 1200 i... | |
New Technics SL 1200 GAE I have no doubt that the new SL1200 is a great deck but I too find it f'ugly. Just not my cup of tea. Well built but f'ugly. I wish it looked more like the prototype's that leaked out rather than an un-creative rehash of an old, tired design. Plus... | |
How often is your system "good"? My system always sounds good, it is more of a matter of degree, or, good, better, best. That dgree is determined by my mood, choice of recording, time of day and ambient noise and distractions. |
