| $5K KUZMA TONEARM FOR ONLY $690! Gryphon Diablo for Only $699! It isn't going away. As a matter of fact, it will probably get more intelligent. All you can do is protect yourself. Be vigilant. Don't buy if it doesn't seem right. Not buying it on the front end is much easier than buying on the back end and ask... | |
| Large room with low budget for speakers I calculated that your room is 31 feet deep by 21 feet wide by 8 feet tall. Of course those measurements could vary some. That is a big room. I suggest horns and at your budget you could hit the best of Viking Acoustic. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Claypool Lennon Delerium, "Lime and Limpid Green". @ Bsion, "Whale Meat Again" is just a fantastic spin. I dig it every time it goes on. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Savoy Brown "Looking In" | |
| Fear Inoculum in Vinyl We all waited quite a while for this. Rumors of it coming out 2 years ago on RSD did not pan out as I think that RSD got cancelled due to pandemic. I had a buddy in town the other day who also collects vinyl. We went to see my vinyl guy and I kidd... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? At this moment in time, Van Der Graaf Generator, The Aerosol Grey Machine. Thinking either Can or Bowie next. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Caravan, "Blind Dog at St. Duntans". Come on Back/OIK (Reprise) is beyond beautiful. Simply perfect. I'm in love at this moment in time. Rich | |
| Pink Floyd’s brand new song David's daughter-in-law is Ukrainian so he obviously is very vested in this. However, he has been vested in a lot of philanthropic ventures and has an incredibly compassionate heart. Great to see some musicians putting their skills to work for the... | |
| Fedex and Ups Damage thread Sounds like a case of bad karma. | |
| Recommended integrated amplifier for upgrade Of course, McIntosh is the answer with Sonus-Faber. Integrated, I would look at the MA-2275. Not easy to find but a work horse of an integrated amp. No issues after 15 years except for tube change and a simple dial exchange. | |
| The problem with streaming I'm sure if I headed down the streaming avenue, I would not be able to make u-turn. Erstwhile, there is a reason vinyl has enjoyed such a massive resurgence. It just feels good. There are many sensual reasons why we enjoy music. They all don't fit... | |
| Decisive moments your your audio journey About 8 years ago I bought my daughter one of those all in one record players, one that comes with little speakers that plug into it. Cheap thing, maybe $100. As I listened to her playing records I realized that it actually sounded much better tha... | |
| How do you tell your Cartridge needs replacing? Thank you for all the great advice. Sounds like since I am concerned then I should just go ahead and get another cartridge before I regret not doing so. Now I get to research what I shall purchase. Thanks again. | |
| How do you tell your Cartridge needs replacing? @jasonbourne, can you recommend a cost effective microscope to do the job? Also how do I know what acceptable is in regards to the health of the stylus? Also would I have to remove the cartridge to examine? Sorry but never done this before. | |
| Supper's Ready @paulg1966 . Thank you for bringing up the retro-Prog Neo Prog genre. I was confused about the categories of music until I heard about retro-Prog Neo Prog. I suspect that refers to those dudes in The Big Lebowski though I could be wrong??? If I a... |
