| Sota or Technics @mijostyn - you can make your changes, but they may not be audible to some people. We all have different hearing and listening capabilities and skills, not to mention preferences and biases. How do you measure audible changes that dont change freq... | |
| Next step in Turntable Not sure if it was mentioned before, but Townshend pods are excellent, and really easy if you get the seismic platform (which has the pods screwed in) under your turntable. Just make sure to order the correct weight limit pods since they need to c... | |
| Sota or Technics @lewm - I am just saying that the turntable is less important than the arm or the cartridge/phono stage. Of course the noise created by the turntable differentiates it from others - it’s not just about getting the correct speed. And, of course bet... | |
| Sota or Technics Although I am a Rega guy and switched from DD 20 years ago (linear tracking Phase Linear 8000 and never looked back after a $500 Music Hall MMF5 blew it away), I agree with @chakster that hearing a turntable is at the bottom of the analogue chain... | |
| Next step in Turntable He wants to take the next step and spend $10-15K and is asking for recommendations. If he makes good choices, it will definitely sound better. Part of the expenditure should include vibration control (if the turntable is not sufficiently self cont... | |
| Next step in Turntable If you're looking for an end game TT, I have heard SME makes the best arms and now you can't get one without buying one of their tables. They're supposedly great also, but I haven't budgeted cash for one though.I think at $15K you can get a mid-up... | |
| Listening to digital and analog Vinyl for home, digital for the car and in the garage when cleaning the car. That's how you listen differently! | |
| How much difference does a phono preamp really make? IMHO - the order of importance in SQ is arm (properly matched to a table), cartridge/phono stage (matched properly), turntable. Up until just last year, I didn't even know a phono stage outside of the one that came with my integrated amp (which is... | |
| BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member Did you see his feedback numbers? Did you communicate with him via phone (preferably) or email before agreeing to the deal? Did he have many or any posts on Audiogon?I've even looked people up on LinkedIn.Common sense things, but I wouldn't do a t... | |
| Stratospheric audio gear prices My son bought an $8 iPhone speaker from Walmart and is fine with it. He needed something when some people were coming over to his apartment. I had been saving an amp and preamp for him, but he was fine with me selling them....Maybe when he is olde... | |
| Vibration control on power versus signal Cool. Was just wondering how profound the effect is. I know everything helps, but sometimes it's subtle, very subtle, astounding, etc. Sometimes it is hard to notice what caused what because multiple changes were made in short succession and I hav... | |
| Vibration control on power versus signal What about your power conditioner? | |

| Help buying first analog rig - Clearaudio Concept or Rega P6 Save up for a Rega P8 - much better arm, no plinth, you just see the spinning platter and a silver brace recessed attaching the arm, and the removable dust cover design is much better (I had a P5 which is the same or similar dust cover). I have a ... | |
| Townshend Seismic Podiums @flaxxer - Not all things measurable are audible, and not all things audible are measurable. It's a good start, but not the be all and end all.When I say "draining" vibrations, of course they don't disappear, they dissipate through multiple levels... |
