| What I really hate about some music Give an example of each. Would lend some validity to your post. | |
| Budget Phono preAmp I have a Parasound Zphono XRM. It is $600. MM/MC, and a mono switch which works pretty well if you have some mono records. I’ve been pretty happy with it and a great value. Well reviewed on a few big sites if you want more in depth description. | |
| One box do it all Peachtree Nova 150 or 300 bundled with a Bluesound NODE would get you there with an MM phonostage. | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? I’m 45. Just a baby. Some of the members on here remind me of less cool versions of my dad. Not exactly appealing discourse for younger minds. Also, you need cash and space for this hobby. It generally takes a few years to get both. | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? 17 | |
| Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable? @chakster, curious. The TT itself is labelled SL-1200 M3D, as I'm looking right at it. True the other ones had MK, ie MK2, 5, 7. https://www.turntablelab.com/pages/guide-to-technics-1200-turntablesI realize the old ones are not on the same leve... | |
| Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable? My GR is my forever table. I’m low class trash though.I would love to take home a GR and a G and compare them to the 1200 M3D. I need to find a local dealer who sells both. | |
| Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable? I appreciate all the feedback. Now to track down a 1200 G. | |
| Next Upgrade? If you want to play loud music effortlessly you need a 2nd sub and an active 2 way crossover. Cross at 100 Hz. How would one do this using an integrated amp? I have been looking at this today and can't find a way without separate amps - preamp. | |
| Upgrades that met/exceeded your expectations and those that felt short Exceeded: Herbie’s Tenderfoot footers under my integrated. Noticeably cleaner sound. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way For LS50 owners upgrading to Metas, what are you doing with the originals? Trade in? Selling? If so, where and for how much? I want to upgrade but would feel better about it if I recoup some expense by selling the old ones. Not seeing many on... | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? Grateful Dead. Pink Floyd. Slayer. And Beastie Boys. | |
| KEF LS50 Meta Hopefully Kef starts up an upgrade program. | |
| Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl I got the Kab filter yesterday and ran it through the Loop in/out on my amp. Woofers stopped pumping and bass cleaned up from sub. I haven't had a chance to fully demo it but I'm definitely keeping it. You can enjoy your vinyl collection for $1... | |
| Turntable feedback rumble problems with new sub As an update. Got KEF stands for LS50s. Helped. Then Herbie’s Fat dots under the cabinet. Helped more. Then Herbie’s Grungebuster Dots under the turntable feet. Problems almost completely gone. I have to tap on the turntable to start the feedbac... |
