| No sound I’ll have to wait 4-6 weeks! for the repair. I already ordered the Schiit Sys but it’s not coming until next Friday. At least I should have some sound. | |
| No sound Well, I got the system hooked up properly and the loud tone is back. So I assume the problem is with the preamp, which I’m going to bring to to be repaired. | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? “Vinyl records produced/tested with “professional” grade carts, with focus on sound accuracy”. It seems to me that would be a very limiting factor for me, acquiring a 1oK cartridge. I don’t want to just listen for the sake of listening. I’d rathe... | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? Of course, I could not afford the setup that a 10K cartridge would require, but I have a question. What type of LP would be up to the task of producing such high quality sound? It seems to me that only the highest quality audiophile discs would ju... | |
| No sound Thank you for the suggestion of the Sys. I’m just recovering from a hip replacement then dislocation, so I really can’t get into the insides of my system very easily, but I can hire someone to do it. I’ll experiment as much as I can. | |

| LoFi @shtinkydog Why, Thank you. | |
| LoFi Not a bad idea. | |
| LoFi It’s really amazing how far technology has come that, for $89.99 you can buy an Alexa Echo that actually portrays classical music decently. Amazing clarity and differentiation between instruments. The musical message is capable of being transmitt... | |
| Karajan Mahler Six The Karajan recording of the 6th was my first introduction to the symphony. Very fine performance indeed. It captures the full emotion of the work. | |
| LoFi @deep_333 Thanks very much for your interest and suggestions. You definitely have the right idea. I’m not sure I can utilize near field with my current setup, but it’s a great idea and worth a try. I’ll look into the BACCH processing system y... | |
| LoFi It occurs to me that no one on this forum is in it for the music only no matter what is said. After all it’s called Audio gon. There are plenty of other music sites. | |
| LoFi deep_333, You know, I’m actually thinking of something like that. I realize how much music I’ve been missing, and how much I’m enjoying music now, and how this hobby has corrupted my senses. It seems a shame after all the dedication and expense ... | |
| LoFi No subwoofers yet. But listening to the radio I realize this a classic case of missing the forest for the trees. Too much sonic detail to hear a composition as a whole. This is true especially for classical music (bigger forest) which tends to be ... |
