| Good Direct Drives You can do what I did when I wanted to add a new current TT to my collection of vintage TT's. I bought the Pioneer PLX1000 and a Denon 103R mc cartridge. $700 + $300. This is an affordable and excellent sounding combination! I am quite happy with ... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Send me a couple and I will try them out! | |
| Now, I'm confused. Anybody remember the AudioPulse reverberation device? It allowed one to dial in various settings: "small club" all the way up to "cathedral"! It contained a two-channel amp to be connected to a pair of speakers behind the listener. And it gave sur... | |
| Now, I'm confused. All recordings are artificial and many (particularly multi-tracked rock and rap) are far from the "sound of musicians playing in a room"! What many prize in a stereo system as "soundstage" is often an illusion caused by wall and floor reflections! | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? "Musicality" is the refuge of the willfully ignorant! | |
| Little Blue Light - Folly? Yes or no.. The "little blue light" can easily be tricked and therefore is NOT a guarantee of authenticity! As claimed by the proponents of MQA. See FredericV's posts (Feb 20) on the Computer Audiophile site. | |
| MAKING THE JUMP ... From Inherited Speakers to the right choice < 2K Price I recommend a pair of Ohm Walsh Sound Cylinders. They will produce a 3-D image from anywhere in the room and sound superior to ANY box speaker! I own a pair and speak from experience! | |
| Now, I'm confused. For the most life-like sound in any room the Ohm Walsh's beat the competition hands down! I have a pair and they do indeed produce a 3-D image superior to any box speaker. And from ANY spot in the room - uncanny! Mine are the Sound Cylinders. | |
| Now, I'm confused. 213runnin: And that silver content of the Morrow cables is good for killing werewolves! | |
| Now, I'm confused. Regarding fuses and speaker wire - neither will give you an improvement in sound quality - regardless of what the "golden ears" crowd says! I have been in this hobby for 40+ years and am appalled by the level of "magical" thinking about wire (and ... | |
| Now, I'm confused. +1 mattmiller! Changing to an Adcom GFP565 preamp would be a beneficial upgrade! I also think that your phono cartridge (unspecified) is a limiting factor. I have found mc cartridges to be superior to mm types. I recommend a Denon 103R as a very g... | |
| Question for tube aficionados Cheap present day 12a*7 types will never equal the sound quality and lifespan of vintage types! | |
| Question for tube aficionados Vintage pre-1970 GE, RCA, Sylvania, Mullard and Telefunken are still the best made and sounding of the 12a*7 types! Far better (and longer lasting) than present day production! That is why they command high prices! | |
| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! See FredericV's posts on the Computer Audiophile site. The best technical- oriented exposition of the pro's and con's of MQA! Mrs. Atkinson and Harley should read it! "Little blue light" indeed! | |
| MC phono cartridge lifespan (when not using) Put it in a jar with a screw cap lid and keep in a cool, dark place - like vitamins! |
