| Tuners All the old FM tuners (I have several!) only receive over-the-air broadcasts via an antenna. And unless you are near a college station (I can tune in to WUSF Tampa 89.7) only cr*ppy commercial stations are available. Keep the Yamaha as a museum pi... | |
| Best Budget Phono Cartridge? Grado all the way! I still have my vintage Grado G1 as a backup to my MC's! Because Grado's are MI types they are immune to capacitive loading! So can be used with any cable length! | |
| Dynamic compression in speakers themselves? Try Altec Santana 1's, Altec Stonehenge 1's, JBL 4312's and JBL 166's. No problem with high SPL playback! I own all of these! | |
| Classe Audio rises again The question is not whether the revived Classe can continue building products but can they sell enough to be profitable?Flip a coin! The hi-end market is extremely limited! Too many competing products! | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile After the SB died I bought a Fidelity Research FR1mk3F (line contact stylus). Again, great sound (and a forgotten classic -$230 in 1980!). | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile My favorite mc cartridge for years was the GAS Sleeping Beauty Super Elliptical ($200 in 1977!). Great sound for years until the suspension failed! I recently purchased a Coral 777 (used) to replace it (same cartridge as the SB). Still one of the ... | |
| DAC break-in... Willemj is right! Burn-in time for electronics and wire is a FALLACY. A fancy word meaning "a mistaken belief". The proliferation of DAC's (some of them quite pricey!) in the belief of their superiority over one-box players is again a mistaken no... | |
| Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB Get a pair of Quad ESL's! Probably the most revealing speakers ever! | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Same for my Ohm Walsh's! | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Right now I am using RCA 14 ga zip on the Nines. And they still sound fine! | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? I guess my ears aren't "golden" enough to tell the difference! | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? I used Mogami Blue Neglex 2477 on my KLH Nines for 30 + years. OFC copper coax.Cost me $40 for 40 feet! Does it sound better than zip cord? I doubt it! It just looks COOLER! | |
| Vinyl from Barnes & Noble No problems so far buying LP's from Barnes&Noble! | |
| Best analytical loudspeakers for strings (midrange)? Any of the Quad ESL's! A midrange sound to die for! | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible Clever marketing will earn millions! I have seen the Saucers! My golden ears have told me it is so! Now where did I leave my Quantum Fluxbuster? |
