| Beethoven Complete Works boxed set recommendations Noske, I have the Brilliant Mozart and Bach sets and have been pretty pleased with them, I'm not very well versed in Classical music though, so am not a good judge of performance quality. I did read the Brilliant Beethoven set wasn't that good com... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Andirocks, thanks for that info.. Once the Kleos comes in I’ll wait a bit before posting here how its sounds. Tablejockey, Its too bad that when you spend twice as much you usually don't get twice as goog with most equipment upgrades. Diminishin... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Tablejockey, I’d like be able to watch how he does the setup to see what can be learned, I will note the brand protractor as you suggest, and if possible, see how he does the alignment. He mentioned he uses a computer program during the set-up pro... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Bill, will do, and thanks. Mike | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Tablejockey- luckily the dealer selling me the Fatboy will be doing the installation and setup once the new Lyra Kleos arrives, so I’m in luck there. Stringreen, I think the gimbaled Fatboy will bolt on with a single nut into the hole where the u... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Thanks mijostyn. I’m thinking you made a good recommendation on the Lyra Kleos cartridge from the research I did. Hopefully the gimbaled Fatboy will nicely complement it, even though it might not measure up to the quality of your tonearm. Did you... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Took the plunge today. One gimbaled VPI Fatboy is now on order. Hopefully it will sound great coupled with a Lyra Kleos cartridge also on order. What a splurge to get both. See you all in bankruptcy court. Thank you all for your advice, encourag... | |
| Best double live vinyl? Another vote for Joe Cocker’s "Mad Dogs and Englishmen", same as for Miles Davis’ " Live at the Blackhawks" sets. The first "Live Dead" double album with ’Turn on Your Love Light’ and ’Dark Star’, The Who’s "Tommy", Stevie Wonder’s "Songs in the K... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? Is there anyplace online where basic guides mentioned throughout this thread on speaker placement, room acoustics, and related subjects are delineated? I read up on this when I first got my new system and meant to get a book or two, but never got ... | |
| Russian tube supply issues Isochronism, quit lying. I saw you wearing it just the other day. | |
| Russian tube supply issues OK My sister, who still lives in NY reported to me that people were protesting outside of the Russian Tea Room in NYC. For those unfamiliar, that’s a landmark restaurant in NYC which has been around forever. Since nobody is eating there of late, ... | |
| Russian tube supply issues Prof, I don’t mean to come off as overblown or think that buying Russian tubes makes anyone a horrible person, I do think this is one behavior that deserves a second thought though. It’s a much smaller deal for example than us stopping buying Russ... | |
| Russian tube supply issues Facten, good points. about the limited number of Russian imports we are being asked to not buy by our politicians. .People in all walks of life seem to be stepping up to the plate on their own to stop buying Russian imports, more than asked by our... | |
| Russian tube supply issues Mulveling, let me ask you this. Where to you draw the line for what you won’t have any part of in any way?. I don’t feel it’s "getting on a high horse" to draw the line at helping finance a Russian economy that’s supporting Putin engaging in the w... | |
