| Record collecting versus hoarding @mitchagain - that is a very interesting theory. The audiophiles should theoretically be more careful(anal) about their collection, but that doesn’t explain all of them, especially the equipment hoarders. 17 turntables? Come on man. I am definite... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding Records are meant to be listened to. Just like cars are meant to be driven. Artists want their music to be listened to. Mine were bought one by one and have to be in some sort of rotation to earn their keep. | |
| Turntables @secretguy - that's a big caveat, and are forgetting about the tonearm. Some TT experts think that is the most important. I put it equal to the cartridge/phono stage. When you were saying turntables are the least important, I was talking about the... | |
| Turntables The turntable can certainly affect the sound negatively by transmitting (and possibly increasing) internal and external vibrations. Being the source of the sound, it is the MOST impactful component @secretguy. Not sure what you are smoking. | |
| Turntables If you can properly isolate the table from vibration, I’d go with Rega. If that necessitates a wall shelf, that can be a deal killer.I’d avoid a unipivot arm and buy from a local dealer for support. Not a big deal for other components, but for tur... | |
| Turntables That's not a P10. It's an RP-10 - different arm, etc. P10 is much improved. P8 will beat this one I believe. | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl how about technicolor motorhome? | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl pretty cool | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl Are there any decent pressing of Katy Lied, or is the tape too far gone? | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl Did you read his book? | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! You got me beat by a mile. Have you ever met DF? | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl It would be nice if there was an option between the $30 and $150 options for the 20th center releases like there are for 2 Against Nature and Everything Must Go. Acoustic Sounds has them for $60 (I think they are 45s, which I like). If they could ... | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl I meant 21st century albums - 2 Against Nature and Everything Must Go. | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl Being a Steely Dan obsessed fan (I’ve seen them 20+ times including Fagen solos and Dukes of September concerts, read Fagen’s book and met him briefly at a book signing- he’s not what I would call sociable) I am afraid I will break down for 2-3 ... | |
| Turntables I got the P8 when they first came out to replace my P5 (did the arm first). The arm especially is excellent. It is clean and adds nothing to the sound, which is what you want in a table. Not sure if the P10 is worth almost double the money. I hav... |
