| Want to add vinyl to my system. You don't match a phono stage to a turntable! You match it to a cartridge, which you match to an arm. I have a P8, which I love (make sure to isolate/suspend it properly), especially the RB 880 arm it comes with, a Sutherland LPS Insight phono st... | |
| Starting Point for Room Treatments? +1 for GIK acoustics. I appreciated their honesty when basically saying there wasn't much I can do because or the windows in the corner almost touching a few feet off the floor, and open spaces. Moving my speakers 3 feet from the wall were a gigan... | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? Pure voice: Linda Ronstadt Stevie Nicks Sade | |
| High-end-turntables Why would you ever wire money for anything? A tell tale sign of a scam. | |
| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to I think she is played to make stereos sound their best, same as Diana Krall. Although Diana is a looker - Elvis got a winner. For women singers, Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt, Sade are tops in my book. If you want a Nora Jones type s... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions +1 @mijostyn - great post. OP - Even though you have stone floors, I would recommend getting the Rega P10 (or P8 and get a great cartridge which is very close in quality at about 55% of the price) with a suspension externally since one is not bui... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! Funny, dust does have na impact on sound. That's why I swipe an Audioquest brush to remove it before every cartridge drop across and then up toward the center of the record - no fluid to gunk it up. Also occasionally brush the stylus with a tiny b... | |
| The revolution has begun! Isn't this an unpaid infomercial? I thought that wasn't allowed here. | |
| What is this Beatles UHQR Collection? The only Beatles UHQR ever made was Sgt Pepper (form Mofi) in the early 80s. I also have the Beatles collection box set on Mofi (which has every US released album included). Although the Sgt Pepper album within the collection is the traditional Mo... | |
| Phono Stage Question..... I think .6 mV is too high an output for the Loco. Sutherland phono stages are excellent, quiet, and if you get one with a LPS, even quieter. I have an Insight and it is excellent, although I haven't tried anything other than what came with my Plin... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn - I didn't know that there were true lazy-boy type recliners that are sold as Stressless by Ekornes. I thought they were all minor variations of mine that have separate ottomen. Now I get the batteries or power cord need. I guess they ar... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn - didn't know Stressless chairs offered power for anything. I assume either it's for heat or massage. In either case, I'm surprised you would want that noise interfering with the sound from what sounds like an awesome system. It must... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn - not sure what you are responding to with your batteries statement. Also you didn't answer my question about what % of the time you listen to digital vs. records. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn - seems like you are into woodworking as much as hifi. The only similarity between my system and yours is the Ekornes chair I have. I had one since 2005 that was just replaced with an identical one last year. Hard to believe there have b... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Hey @mijostyn - I guess you're one of those guys who say an athlete can give 110%. Perfect is 100. You can't get better than that. The 80/20 reasoning makes no sense as any system is only as good as its weakest link, and for a stereo system the ... |
