| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? It proved to me that the differences between analog and digital aren't solely at the front end. Synergy of the system is what makes one better than the other. Precisely! | |
| Cable elevators For less than $2 a piece I use ceramic light sockets with the terminals removed. | |
| How often is your system "good"? Each time I fire it up ... after about a couple of hours. | |
| Most coherent low volume speaker with very fast bass under 10k used? It's right there in your name: Zu. Get the best Zu speaker you can afford and a DECware amp to drive it. Very good at low volumes and fast. | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? If you believe vinyl sounds better and live in Atlanta I'd love to be persuaded. (Actually, probably would hate to be persuaded, considering what it would cost to replace my 1,676 CDs with vinyl, and purchasing a decent table as well. Egads.) Let'... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? I have had more than the last 30 years to compare, no ambiguity on my partSame with me. Perhaps I just got lucky with my choice of components. | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? I've realized that the premise is not necessarily true. I’ve listened to lots of vinyl for decades and now use a CD player as my only source. I believe you can assemble (craft) an audio playback system so CDs will sound just as good or better than... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Lots of good suggestions thus far. I just heard a pair of Prana Fidelity Fifty90. Excellent speakers - not harsh at all. Dip down into the upper 30sHz range. Easy to drive - heard them with a 25watt tube amp playing rock music - no problem. Seriou... | |
| Would you sell to someone with no feedback? I would not sell if person was not located in my country.I would ask if they had any feedback from other sites which I could view.I would need to speak with them on the phone a couple of times first, to get a sense of their genuine interest and va... | |
| Tubeyist sounding Pre-amp? I can make my all-tube Mapletree Audio preamp sound all sorts of "tubey" depending on which pair of tubes I roll in. Very tube dependant sound. | |
| Tube Power Amp Suggestions In the 6C33C camp, I love my Audio Mirror 45 Watt SET mono blocks. New cost way under your budget. Drive my 87dB speakers very well, and the sound is glorious. Money left over for tubes and power cords. | |
| Your Go to CD to Impress As I've listened over the years to my CDs I've noted specific tracks along the way which sound spectacular on my system (some CDs, though have terrific music, have zero impressive tracks). Thus, my visitor can select any genre or performer and I a... | |
| Leon Russell has passed on...... psickerson: +1Ain't that the truth. | |
| Recos for entry level Bookshelf speaker $400-750 for 21yo nieces first system? I agree with the idea of going for active, or at least powered, speakers. Quality of sound for the money is very good when spending less than $1,000, especially when spending way less than $1,000. Then all that is required is an input (laptop, pho... | |
| GRASS ANYONE? Finally pulled the trigger on the CD "The Hillmen" recorded in the early 60s. Terrific bluegrass (and folkgrass too), California style (Chris Hillman on mandolin). |
