| 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 ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 - you are by far in the minority of Audiogon people if you are happy with 80%.Most want 95+%....the next 2-3% is where the steep investment comes in. All acknowledge 100% is impossible. Probably not 99 or 98 either - It is an asymptote typ... | |
| Types of Audiophiles How about the tinkerer? Can never leave well enough alone and cannot enjoy what they have. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Another ridiculous trolling argument. Of course it is possible for an all in one speaker to sound as good as some speakers with a separate amp. Can an integrated amp sound better than a separate preamp and amp separates? Sure, although typically w... | |
| Cartridges Cartidge should be well matched to the arm and table (and system in general). Separate issue from the records. I almost exclusively buy new, and the audiophile ones typically sound great (especially the 45s), although if the original tapes aren't... | |
