| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Michelle- MM owners can certainly be audiophiles-they just choose to spend less on a cartridge. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this Is one area I think Is of universal Audiophile agreement. In general MCs sound better than MMs, just cost more and yo... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Thanks so much Chakster. Sounds like it is an issue for long interconnects and Very special situations within the home audio context we discuss. There was another discussion about this and the guy had to have balanced ones.My turntable cable can’t... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Separate question that I haven't been able to get answered in another discussion about phono stages (not sure why). What is the advantage of a balanced input or output for phono stages? Is that feature only available on very expensive models? Is t... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Glupson said only an audiophile can be deluded into thinking directional wire and wire elevators work, but before that said they don't get sucked into that thinking. Which is it?French Fries is right on the money.Vonharaland - people come to PCA m... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? You said only an audiophile deludes themself after saying they wouldn’t get sucked into directional wire or Cable elevators. | |
| Looking for phono preamp suggestions bleeds - what are the advantages and at what output voltage range can it help most. Are these phono stages inherently more expensive? It never came up in any conversation when I was looking for my phono stage. I'm thinking it is high end - big $$ ... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? You contradicted yourself saying an audiophile likes old equipment and tries to keep it if it sounds good to them, then you say audiophiles are tweakers who delude themselves with useless stuff (which is true much of the time). | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? "Accuse" you of being an Audiophile? I didn't know it was a crime. I think the older the gear that you know about and appreciate (and hopefully some new stuff), the more serious of an Audiophile you are. Same as with Porsches - the guys who know e... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Why do you have 350 records? Since you admittedly don’t care about sound quality, I would not consider you an audiophile.Car or lack thereof has no impact. Probably are lots of audiophiles in NYC and other cities without cars. | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? We want as good as possible for a given amount of $$ investment. | |

| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Rconk - its not about the brand - its about the car (says a self described Porschephile- although not a serious one-those guys only drive air cooled). I had an M3 (and other BMWs before that). I loved that car, but when it was time to change, BMW ... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? I thought the comedy shows start at 9PM on Saturdays...Nobody has called me too young for anything lately (thanks asvjerry), but I sure would like to see the turntable in a car contraption.Audio in the car is the worst possible noise scenario imag... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? No just an audiophile. Everyone if forced to listen to digital in their car, all audiophiles listen to both.DOn't know of anyone crazy trying to play analogue in the car. | |
| Looking for phono preamp suggestions Glad to hear Ron helped you out Newtoncr. He is a great guy and by the way answers his own phone and is very generous with his time. Totally down to earth, unpretentious and says he isn't an expert on everything, (but I believe he was one of the f... |
