| analog newbie question/vinyl weight Hmmm... Responses are all over the place here, and each is correct. But let me see if this will add some clarity to someone who is new to this game. Note to begin: 120 gram, 180 gram, 200 gram actually refer to the weight of the "glob" of vinyl th... | |
| How to track down bad tube and what can it mean? Budrew, tracking down a sick tube requires a little patience and a consistent, methodical approach. Also, keep in mind that moving a tube can cause an intermittant problem to clear up for a while, but then return later.First, pull and re-seat all ... | |

| Kharma Midi Grandes vs Eggleston Andra II Since you're in this price range and you have Atma-Sphere MA-2s, consider the Eidolon speakers. They are driven very well by the MA-2s and the two make a great synergistic combination. (It's the speaker/amp combination I live with.) If you're prep... | |
| Golden age of vinyl recordings? Rcprince has hit it spot on. But don't ignore today's high quality recordings and reissues coming out on vinyl. For blues, the new recordings from Analogue Productions are superb and the rissues of late 50's and early 60's recordings from companie... | |
| Classic Record RCA 45 rpm reissues - Which? Dkarmeli,I don't wish to engage in a long discussion of Classic Records per se. But as to 45 rpm pressings versus 33 rpm pressings, other things being equal (and that is the operative condition here), the 45 rpm pressings always sound superior to ... | |
| Classic Record RCA 45 rpm reissues - Which? Doug,Classic Records has been extremely frustrating to so many of us. As you say, both Solti/'Venice'/LSC 2313 and Gobson/'Witches Brew'/LSC 2225 are examples of hugely disappointing sound quality. And then CR can flip around and create something ... | |
| Classic Record RCA 45 rpm reissues - Which? Thanks very much Albert and Doug - your experience with these 45 rpm issues is exactly the help and encouragement I needed.Quincy, thank you. The reason for my caution is that I have most of the Classic Records classical releases in 33 rpm and the... | |
| Classical music recordings upgrade Celtic66, can you play vinyl? If so, the Solti/CSO performance has been reissued on vinyl by Speakers Corner in beautiful analog sound. | |
| Ceiling Height Cosmic_void, my room is roughly 18' x 27' x 7.5' with a large bay area on one long wall side which makes the room shape slightly irregular. (The bay window area gives the maximum 18' width.) | |
| Ceiling Height Nrchy is exactly correct. The ceiling height in my new listening room is only 7.5 feet, but the room has turned out to be quite good overall. | |
| How low on the Rossini String Sonatas Argo ZRG 506 I don't have your answer, sorry. The standard tuning of a four-string double bass would have the lowest string tuned to 41.2 hz (E1). But the double bass with low C extension can play as low as 32.7 hz (C1), quite common in modern orchestras. Here... |
