| slow, funky, groovin' laid back music Hey thanks to you all! I haven't had a chance to respond until now--looks like I posted the right question to the right bunch of people! I already blew my music money for this month, but have made a list of records I'll be buying come payday: Nigh... | |
| Clearaudio Satisfy lift sticking Hey Maineac, I tried the up-down-up-down remedy and it worked! Thanks!Danny | |
| Clearaudio Satisfy lift sticking Thanks guys. I'll try Mainiac's sugestion. I've got the tracking force set pretty light--1.75g--per Peter Lederman's (SoundSmith) recommendation, but it should still fall when I lower the lever. I work around it, but I like watching the gentle fal... | |
| Have the Joe Jackson Look Sharp Album - Any Good? Stickman451, I have a remastered CD--24bit/96hz--with excellent detail and full sound. If you pass on the vinyl, you should at least get that one. | |
| cartridge alignment? I suggest the Hi Fi News test record, which has a paper protractor in it, complete instructions, and test tracks to help you get things dialled in. I got mine for around 30 bucks from either Acoustic Sounds or Elusive Disk, can't remember. Be pati... | |
| CBS News does a segment on LPs Did you get Mothership? I'm interested to know about the sound quality on that one. | |
| Is Norah Jones waiting for a new tube or tune? That's an old song. I have it being sung by Nina Simone. Don't know who the writer is. | |
| Reiner RCA "Sheherazade" LP Hey thanks guys. I just bought the one Opalchip referred me to on eBay ($49.95). It was a bit beyond my budget, but at least I'll know it's pristine vinyl. And thanks for the link to Arthur Slavatore's website--I've already learned a bunch! BTW, K... | |
| Report on SoundSmith Clearaudio Rebuild Spoke with Peter this evening re. my questions about VTF, cleaning, and break-in time. He was patient, knowledgeable, and clear in his answers. VTF should be about 1.5-1.9: I have mine set at 1.75. He recommended cleaning with a dry brush for repe... | |
| Report on SoundSmith Clearaudio Rebuild Does anybody know the extent of the rebuild I got? In other words, is the support for the caneliver new as well? I just wonder if I should be expecting improvements as the cart. breaks in. Also, why the light tracking force? How light should I go?... | |
| Clearaudio Emotion. I love my Clearaudio Emotion. I've been able to upgrade the cartridge (Virtuoso Wood) with amazing results. I also think it's important to place this table on some kind of isolation table--I use the Ginko Audio Cloud. Don't know much about the oth... | |
| Speaker A/B Option With Separates? Thanks to you all--you gave some things to think about. I wish my Rotel receiver had pre-out jacks so I could use it as an amp/speaker selector . . .One thing is still not clear to me: from my preamp, where would the interconnects go to/come from?... | |
| Your favorite Sheherazade LP ? Thanks. It's easy to get in above one's head when it comes to classical music, but I know I can rely on fellow A-goners to guide a relative newcomer in the right directions. It was the FIRST time I had heard Sheherazade! I thought the imaging and ... | |
| Do Integrateds sound better than Receivers? The primaLuna is also on my list, and I'll be able to listen to one this weekend! Thanks for the detailed account of your experimenation Blindjim--sounds like you had fun last night! Your results further reinforce my feeling that an integrated is ... | |
| Do Integrateds sound better than Receivers? Hey thanks to you all! What you've all said makes sense to me and helps to clarify things. If I'm understanding you, an integrated amp would produce better sound, provided I move up rather than sideways as Blindjim says. I'm considering mostly sol... |
