| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? @mmporsche As @rushton mentioned @slipknot1 selling his Walker table & most of his other gear due for his medical bills, I know he is a huge skier and he would be more than likely to deliver to Colorado during ski season & set it up for yo... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? @rushton @rauliruegas I am proud to have you both as friends as you both regularly wake the conversation and set it back to where it will serve some good. Live music must be the reference if you focus on classical & acoustic jazz. If your mus... | |
| Help Choosing Speakers All the Vandy 2 series are a HUGE step up from the 1 series. Even considering your demo results, spare power would be beneficial; you might not notice it unless playing dynamic challenging music, but in the long you will appreciate having spare po... | |
| Repaired a broken coil wire on a Denon dl 103 Next time you do something similar, have someone else record video and post it on youtube so you can teach us how. I'm not sure I could juggle my Galaxy and a soldering iron. Ironically, both are rumored to be great sources of heat ;-) Cheers,Spencer | |
| FLAC On A Mac @randy-11 Randy, even with changed options in iTunes, album splitting still occurs on some albums and other software doesn't have this annoyance.You'd have to ask Apple about all the processes running in their O/S and iTunes. If you read the hundr... | |
| NY Audio Show If that was a SALES VOLUME competition, that might be fun to attend! | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? The SME20 just listed today here for $6500 looks like a good value and safe bet. You could try it and sell it without losing a penny if you choose another direction. Excellent engineering from a company that's been a leader in analog for ages. The... | |
| Chesky binaural+ Amber Rubarth sounds amazing on my digital rig playing thru my Sound Lab electrostatics. Her cover of REM's "Losing My Religion" is a recent fav demo track for visitors. It's a goosebump performance with SQ to match. Cheers,Spencer | |
| FLAC On A Mac Probably because top sound quality isn't Apple's goal. Selling you more stuff is. So they are always trying to lure you into their store, run multiple background processes that use more voltage, etc. & generate more noise. All the other softwa... | |
| Help me find value for Technics SP-10 Direct Drive Turntable The MK I is not nearly as desirable as the II, IIa or III. Search eBay for similar items check "completed only" and you'll see the results of the recently advertised ones. Green sold, Red didn't, black didn't or they accepted offer. My best guess ... | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues @pereza So what happened? Your army is all fired up. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K @mmporsche As I mentioned earlier, VPIs match well with Dynavector, Soundsmith, van den Hul, Benz, ZYX and Cardas carts, amongst others. The HRX and TNT6HR are same dual motors/flywheel, same tonearm with on-the-fly VTA, same leveling adjustable ... | |
| Reclocking device for the Schiit Gungnir? The Gallos are good, no need to replace them w/bookshelf speakers. My guess is that the Schiit is revealing distortions from somewhere up the chain. Trying the Intona, Remedy, Schiit Wyrd or even a Jitterbug would all be worthwhile experiments. Th... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Well done, Rush! Great advice and insights. Cheers,Spencer | |
| What are you using for ripping CDs? What media player do you use? XLD on the Mac, dbpoweramp in Windows. Best advice is Kenny's "What worked for me was to acquire a good knowledge base by discovering the latest trends in digital audio components and setup, from the Computer Audiophile website: http://www.compute... |
