| Ground loop hum from Turntable If your P3-24 has the outboard power supply, try moving the power module as far from the TT as the connecting cord will allow. (That's the hum-avoidance recommendation in the manual that came wilh my P9.) If practical, you might also try plugging ... | |
| What's wrong with my ProJect 9.1? I've got a mmf 9, and I would imagine the vta adjustment would be the same for the 9.1. On the mmf 9, you adjust the vta by loosening the two (2) Allen screws on the back of the pillar that supports the tonearm. Instructions for doing so are conta... | |
| Ground loop hum from Turntable What cartridge are you using? | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions I ordered one from Music Direct and it arrived about a week ago. I haven't used it yet (intend to install a Lyra Skala cart. on a spare Graham 2.2 arm wand soon - - probably over the 4th of July weekend). To answer your question about the strobe -... | |
| In love with my Loricraft Lewm asked Emailists:"So, apart from the noise reduction vs a VPI, what are you in love with? What else makes the Loricraft functionally superior to others?"I've owned a PRC-4 since Dec. '06. It replaced a Nitty Gritty 2.5 I had owned for about 20... | |
| Curse you Dynaflex We called 'em "Dyna-Flaps." The "excuse" given by RCA at the time of their introduction - circa 1970 - had to do with oil prices/need to conserve oil. In addition to being flimsy, they were prone to other pressing defects, like "bubbles" which, if... | |
| Longest continuous playing songs Not sure if this is a "song" by your definition, but Morton Feldman's *Piano and String Quartet* is one movement and goes on for about 70 minutes or so. | |
| Record Cleaning Machines: Hannl or Typhoon My Loricraft is so quiet you can listen to music/TV or have a conversation while you're cleaning. It replaced a Nitty Gritty 2.5, which was quite loud and ran pretty hot after 5 or 6 sides - the Loricraft runs very cool - - - literally for hours, ... | |
| The most haunting music you ever heard? Morton Feldman's *Piano and String Quartet* with the Kronos String Quartet on Nonesuch (CD only). | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue I agree that the first two installments are superb - - - particularly the Horace Parlan. I subscribe directly from Music Matters and got an email confirmation yesterday that the next two sets are on their way - -- due here next Thursday. Eagerly a... | |
| What is Your Favorite Mile Davis Set on Mosaic? I own all of the Mosaic-Davis LP sets, and I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. (Got many of them on CD, too) Of the ones you listed, I prefer the Miles Davis/Coltrane set - hands down. You didn't list it, but really like the Davis/Gil... | |
| Frank Sinatra Capitol Years Lps vs CDs etc. Tagyerit is right - if the records are in great shape, you got a wonderful buy. One of the pluses of this set is the wealth of information in the liner notes. In addition to info on recording dates, a list of orchestral personnel is provided. Unt... | |
| Frank Sinatra Capitol Years Lps vs CDs etc. I bought the Mobile Fidelity Sinatra LP box set (used on eBay) last summer. The recordings are all from Capitol and the era you mentioned. The quality of the transfers/pressings is phenomenal - - you must hear it to believe it. | |
| High level MC or step up? I'd go with a step up tranny - get a quality one, like the AudioNote AN-S2. Used ones have turned up here on A'gon from time to time. | |
| Tube CD Players other than Jolida I've owned an Eastern Electric Minimax for about 18 months. Tube rolling in this machine is a breeze, if that's what you're looking for. Put some NOS 60's vintage Mullards in mine and have been very, very pleased with the sound. |
