| Upgrading phono stage I recommend getting a phono stage for the long haul, like a Sutherland that has good adjustability/flexibility so you can use a wide variety of cartridges. Wait until your cartridge stylus wears out and then get a new one that has styli that can b... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @turnbowm- I said for ALL cables other than power, shorter is better. For power cords, it is better to have slack so there is no risk of them unplugging due to tension and getting them a few feet longer, nothing extreme. @mahgister- as you say - i... | |
| Please Educate Me @woofman - Hard nosed audiophiles are not happy with digital music. You might say serious audiophiles aren’t, but that would cause a heated argument. | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @turnbowm- I believe it cleans up the power as the current goes from the wall (or a power conditioner, power strip, etc.) to the component, so the longer the cable, the more it conditions the current. This was explained to me by a company that spe... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict The longer the power cord the better. The shorter the interconnect or speaker wire, the better. Don't let wires touch and keep them as still as possible. These are indisputable scientific facts. Minor violations will most likely not be audible, es... | |
| Please Educate Me You’re now decorating for sound. Great if the wife oks it. Bass traps come first in corners where floor meets sidewalks and ceiling meets sidewalls. | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict Thanks for all your thoughts @aj523. I 100% agree with the Townshend pods- I have their seismic platform and when I put it under my admittedly light turntable, it completely blew me away. Herbie’s mat got rid of my problem of the static from a sto... | |
| Please Educate Me @paul6001 - typing a letter on a keyboard is DIGITAL to start. the english language is made of letters which when keyed are digital. Represented by 1s and 0s in the disk's memory. If you talk about handwriting interpretation that is another matter... | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? You tube? C'mon man. Absolutely worthless.Listen in a store or better yet, in your house. | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so Figure out speakers first. Then maybe you can get a better deal if you go the new route through a local dealer.If you can find one, Plinius makes great amps. They've had a thinning out of dealers in the US. Their integrated start at under your pri... | |
| Best type of metal for turntable platform? The floor supports will do the most if you can pull that off. I couldn't so had to do the wall shelf/platform I mentioned above. Your sound will improve dramatically when you remove all the vibrations! | |
| Best type of metal for turntable platform? Of course not. But I think SME tables take care of everything (no shelves, pods/platforms, etc.,) from what I've heard. Not inexpensive though...Sound like an end game for the whole source discussion. | |
| New Audiophile going crazy Do you ever listen to music? Sounds like you just buy and test equipment. You will never be satisfied until you settle on a level and then maybe make single improvements to see how much better it sounds.Making so many changes so often will leave y... | |
| Best type of metal for turntable platform? I have a Townshend seismic platform (it has pods attached under it) under my turntable. When installed, it improved the sound so much I was incredulous. Unfortunately, the very low waves from the pods combined with my suspended floor and extremely... | |
