| What a sad world we now live in....... @simao : I too miss going to a local record store and looking through the bins for something new and unexpected! I wish Tower was still around! They had most everything - particularly jazz and classical! | |
| Mono Recordings Mono jazz recordings from the Fifties have some of the best sonics! Partly due to an all-tube recording chain without multi-tracking and noise-reduction. | |
| Help, is 15 watts p/c enough for a small room Get that new NAD 3020 with the Class D output stage. Avoid that ancient Pioneer! | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? If you want to hear an amplifier sound "different" get a tube amp with an output impedance of several ohms! Ohm's Law rules here! A frequency response that will follow the varying impedance of the typical speaker. | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? All today's SS amplifiers measure exceedingly well in all parameters! Sonic neutrality is the order of the day! To say that amplifier A sounds "better" or "blows away" amplifier B is to be guilty of delusional thinking! Measurements rule - not "my... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? SS amplification reached sonic equivalence decades ago! If you think that amplifier A sounds better than amplifier B, remember it is only in your mind - not in Reality! Expectation bias is the ruling factor here when trying to ascertain amplifier ... | |
| Value, if any, of vintage TT and tone arm. +1 Elizabeth! What a great combination - a Garrard 301 and an SME 3012! A true heirloom setup and worth passing to future generations! | |
| Help, is 15 watts p/c enough for a small room Yes, but 12 X 12 is a BAD sounding room to begin with! A pair of Heresy's will play loud enough to cause permanent deafness with 15 watts - but do you really want to lose your hearing? | |
| Review: Fosi Audio TDA7498E Mini Hi-Fi Class D Integrated Amp 160 Watts x 2 into 4 Ohms Made in CH*NA? Jeez, where has patriotism gone! | |
| Review: Fosi Audio TDA7498E Mini Hi-Fi Class D Integrated Amp 160 Watts x 2 into 4 Ohms It will work well with a pair of small speakers that don't drop below 4 ohms and roll off bass at 40 - 50hz. Stay away from Wilson's and Magico's! | |
| Review: Fosi Audio TDA7498E Mini Hi-Fi Class D Integrated Amp 160 Watts x 2 into 4 Ohms Just wait until you connect it to a pair of Apogee Scintilla's (1 ohm!) - and it melts! | |
| Phono Preamp for new Rega PL6 And the Bellari VP130 is an excellent mm phono stage! Too bad it costs so little ($275). If it cost 10X that much it would get more respect from the audio snobs! | |
| Phono Preamp for new Rega PL6 Get a Bellari VP130. A great made-in-the-USA tube phono stage! Add the MT502 SUT for your low-output mc. Cost (new) is: $275 + $500 = $775. You might be able to get by with just the MT502 into the mm stage of your Rega preamp. This should give you... | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... @larry5729: What I don't like about streaming is the "verification" problem - particularly of data sourced from analog tape. What generation was used for the data conversion? The master tape, the second copy, the third copy ... ? Analog tape is ce... | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... The smartphone/’Net has radically changed people’s buying patterns for music/movies. Along with a home computer/cable. New technologies are inevitably disruptive! |
