| Looking for tonearm inspiration @rauliruegas I'll take your word for it that the V is better than the IV.vi. It should be for almost $2K more. The one thing I hate about both of these tonearms, however, is the tapered tube design. This design makes adjusting the VTA a pain, ... | |
| New vs vintage/original vinyl The digital vs. analogue argument is a pointless one. People who have already made up their minds and remain close-minded to honest evaluation are a waste of good energy.I believe both formats can produce excellent results, given the right combin... | |
| New vs vintage/original vinyl I have heard others say what you are saying, but in my experience I find the high end reissues beat the originals most of the time. I'm referring to companies like Mofi and Analogue Productions as examples of companies who do it right. As far as... | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration I have a 20/2 and it came with a SME IV.vi tonearm, which was very good. I upgraded to a Tri-Planar tonearm about a year ago and found it to be a big improvement. My cartridge is a Lyra Kleos and my phono stage is a Parasound JC-3+.This has been... | |
| Bob Dylan - new album just out on Tidal - Rough and Rowdy Ways @cd318I don't have Tempest. I will check that one out.Time Out Of Mind is also very high on my list. | |
| Bob Dylan - new album just out on Tidal - Rough and Rowdy Ways I've been listening to this album for a couple of weeks on Tidal and have gone to not liking it that much to liking it a lot. The vinyl just came out today so I bought it. Special gold vinyl indie store exclusive at that. I'm excited to sit dow... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 @gte357s My amp was a Lyngdorf TDAI3400 when I got the speakers but after that I tried an LFD NCSE 3 and prefer it. It’s a solid state amp that sounds more like tubes. Great amp, but very simple, and lacks the convenience features of most amps, ... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 I owned 30.1's and now own 40.2 anniversaries.My answer is, it depends on how serious you are about music listening. For me, sitting down and listening is the highlight of my day. I listen actively and lose myself in the music. If I were buying... | |
| Upcoming Neil Young album, Homegrown Vinyl. A must have? I picked this up on Friday and listened to it last night.I was blown away by this record! It's not polished and tight. It reminds me of Tonight's The Night in its loose and free form mood, so it might not be for everyone, but I love that side of ... | |
| Rush Permanent Waves 40th Anniversary I played it again last night and enjoyed it much more than the first listen.I can't explain the difference. A combination of mood, electrical noise, groove break in? Not sure, but it sounds a lot better to me now. Turning it up loud could have ... | |
| Rush Permanent Waves 40th Anniversary I will give mine another spin to see if maybe my mood affected my impressions of this. It's possible I got a bad copy. It doesn't sound terrible FWIW, just not as spectacular as it should IMO. | |
| Rush Permanent Waves 40th Anniversary Why do you think that? The marketing info for it says it was taken from the 2015 remaster. It doesn't say its source.However, I have several records remastered from digital files that sound pretty damn good. I dare say, when done well, most folk... | |
| Looking for Linear Power Supply for my Mytek Brooklyn DAC. Suggestions? I recently added an Sbooster to my Brooklyn DAC+ and notice about 10% improvement. Not fully broken in yet but my expectation is I won't notice that much even after it is. It was worth it for me. | |
| Innuos Digital Players - Innuos Zenith MK2 vs Zenith MK3 or ZEN MK3 I have a Zenith 3 and love it. Recently added the Phoenix Reclocker and cannot believe how good it sounds. I don't know how much better the Zenith 3 is than the 2, but I am a believer in buying the most recent version, even if it's a stretch to ... | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? I am a small business owner, specializing in a high end custom home improvement product with an average sale price of around $2K.My gross profit margin is around 75% on average. This sounds like a lot or profit until you factor in all of the over... |
