| Technics SP 10 mc II. Worth looking at? Most auctions see all the bidding action in the last 2minutes. This whole convo will change in terms of value during that 2 minutes and it will be to late to ask anything then. Given your location, shipping for any restoration work is a real cost ... | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? @sparksgja , When you get that urge to jump off the album to instant gratification you can instead queue to play AFTER the album completes. It's a good habit. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Anyone familiar with Air Tight ATM-1S? @yomaha Yes, I agree that the ATM-1S would be plenty powerful w/98db speakers. I recall carrying it into a dealer to demo speakers bigger and lower sensitivity than my own and it outperformed a 75 or 100w amp they used as their normal demo pairing... | |
| Roon for high end audio? @kingbarbuda,I agree 100% that a NUC is optimal from a cost perspective, but if you aren't interested in assembling one, the Small Green Computer Sonic Orbiters at almost the same pricing, and the pricier Roon Nucleus will provide equal sonics. Up... | |
| Roon for high end audio? @nitrobob, I forgot to mention, I read that your MP-40 is a Roon Ready Endpoint. That doesn't mean it is a Roon Core. You'll need to run Roon Core software on another device unless I'm incorrect about that. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Roon for high end audio? @nitrobob,Roon has 3 pieces:Roon Core (a computer, NAS, SonicOrbiter or Nucleus) that runs the main softwareRoon Endpoint - a renderer or streamer that feeds the signal to your DACRoon Remote - remote control functionality(tablet, phone, mac/PC) w... | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? @p05129 Well said, brother! While I love LPs and their art and notes, using Roon I engage and discover more about the artists, their connections, history, etc. When you compare Roon to CD UX, it isn't even close. 1pt fonts -- no thanks!Totally agr... | |
| Anyone familiar with Air Tight ATM-1S? I've previously owned the ATM1, not the -S. It was a lovely sounding amp when paired with speakers that didn't need a ton of power. Build quality and parts(transformers especially) were top notch. EL34s in general are one of your more balanced op... | |
| Does anyone else think that the Samsung plays music much better than the Apple? This conversation doesn't mean much without mentioning the music format and apps being used. FLAC and AIFF files played through Poweramp app on iphone sound a ton better than Apple Music on same phone. Also, assuming you're using bluetooth to wire... | |
| George Bensons LP collection Mike did a great job with the George Benson video!I like his channel, as he's pretty good about sharing comments about the SQ of new releases that he's listened to. Hoping he'll add more of that to his weekly release vids. Cheers,Spencer | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? @stigemat,Try tvan_tan@yahoo.com.vn Cheers,Spencer | |
| "Need" Roon, Bluesound Node, or or other streamer? Aurelic Aries is very good sonically assuming you're using it with their or another high quality linear power supply. Current models are Roon-ready, but if you're getting an older one, it's worth confirming that it's Roon-ready or you'll be stuck ... | |
| "Need" Roon, Bluesound Node, or or other streamer? Not easily. PCs, especially in the same room and connected to the audio system generate noise. There are many ways to try to overcome it, like external linear power supplies, dual-headed cables that separate signal from power, etc. All the backgro... | |
| RSD 2021 Post Game Isn't anybody else here spinning Record Store Day releases from this year? Cheers,Spencer | |
| Quality Motown Recordings Rhino reissue of Aretha -I've Never Loved a Man... and Curtis Mayfield - Curtis sound very good and are great performances. Move on up! Cheers,Spencer |
