| What CD player/transport has the most stable mechanism? Of all the spinners I tried over the last 15 years: Krell, McIntosh, Wadia, Linn, it is Naim CDX and CD3 that have the most transportation screws. Once released, and in CD3 its a full-time job to keep it level while removing them all, CD mech "flo... | |
| Shunmook ebony weight owners Is it any different (better) than, say, KAB clamp? | |
| What to do with old LP inner sleeve? @testpilot you read my mind! Yes, I do like it ;-)I use MoFi inner sleeves, however, if there is anything special about the original inner sleeve (even if it's just a cardboard stock in black color, like recent 180g reissues of Dead Can Dance), th... | |
| LP 12 Owners-If you were going to buy a new TT ... That would be dPS ttable, but to stop myself from doing something stupid, like selling my Naim-ed and Keel-ed Sondek I sold all my original boxes and packaging for the Baby!thank you guys from the original, 2003 posts! I must have bought then one ... | |
| Recommendations of good sounding newly pressed LPs Super Analogue LPs!!! I bought a lot while they were in business, as my last Christmas present got a few missing ones at really stupid prices... Tchaikovsky's 5th on DG 13years ago is why I plunged back into vinyl, bought LP first, then Sondek and... | |
| Meridian 508 CD repair? You may also contact Kaosun through kaosuncd.com. If CD mechanism is no longer available and laser got weak (thats the worst case scenario, but usually skipping may be cured by lens cleaning or tracking/focus balance re-adjustment) he knows how to... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? @toolbox149 to paraphrase our beloved President: convenience, convenience, convenience! In early 90-ies I remember asking my friends why would they buy cassettes if for the same $$ they could get CD or LP and make a better cassette copy at home. ... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? @ptss so true!! I had to return Linn Akurate player because its digital power supply totally f$&@-ed up the rest of my system! | |
| Saturday Afternoon at the Opera, often live, from The Metropolitan Opera @gdnrbob try any live recording of Mravinsky and repent! Long and cold winters... I stopped attending chamber venues in Kiev, Ukraine, during fall/winter seasons for exactly the same reason: one constantly sneezing/coughing neighbor totally spoils... | |
| Recording quality... @tomcy6 I totally relate to what you are saying but let me respectfully disagree with one point. We all are listening to our favorite tunes through the gear we care to afford, only time and our personal "audio gurus" can slooowly change our ways. ... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? Correction: Stan, not Steve, I am getting old!! @whart I did not check All the responders, only hardliners and those who find digital more pleasing to their ears. If Rega P1 beats Linn Akurate is one thing, if Esoteric beats VPI is totally differe... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? It is amazing how none of the responders have their systems posted here at a-gon. I feel like Steve of South Park who gravitates to the site in order to learn something but then goes away empty-handed. It takes one iPhone and 5min to update your p... | |
| How much do large Vinyl collections go for these days? I would definitely hold on to it and let my kids have the pain of selling or dumping it. What would I buy for extra $50k? Used Jag? Definitely not, I would buy more LPs and get back to where we started... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? @danvignau that would be me also, I like cassette sound recorded on Nakamichi LX3 off Sony D-7 Discman when listening through the same hp amp and HD600 to the "master" CD. Extra wow and flutter must have painted over digital deficiencies and I fin... | |
| Problem with CD Baby cds @orpheus10 it does sound comforting that I am not the only one! Any search for Wadia players returns a lot of misery! I am not alone!!! ;-(I still want to get to the bottom of these unplayable CDs, so when my son was visiting us over the weekend I... |
