| Upgrade Clearaudio Performance DC or move up to Ovation? You have done a lot of work there. At some point it is either a leap of faith and spring for it, or simply decide to live with it. Ovation does have a good reputation, which is something to consider. Fundamentally, it will have to be your deci... | |
| Modify Bluesound Vault Album Names with Metadata Editor I haven't used a generic one although there is one with Exact Copy software. Try Googling it and see what come up. | |
| Any advice? Parasound A21, Ayre V5xe, Benchmark AHB2, or Bryston 4B3? Well, if you can afford it, that Bryston is one awesome product! I am not familiar with the Benchmark; the Parasound is also good, being a John Curl design. If it was my money, I would opt for one of those two. | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout @td358 Thanks, I will check out Vinyl Flat, looks promising indeed.@mirolab Actually, my comments on the AT cartridge are in there. Overall, I really like the cartridge; it was money well spent.@sokogear Sadly, there are no good, high end, stere... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout Actually, I don't mind the hassle as long as the sound quality justifies the hassle. But, when it comes to convenience, CD's and especially streaming, beats everything by a margin measured in light years. :-)You know, I just realized thinking ... | |
| SST Son of Ampzilla ll power amp vs Classe Sigma Amp2 power amp I haven't used one but my very good friend and audiophile buddy used one for many years. He was very pleased with it, which is saying something since he has a great system. I am not sure if he still has it or it was retired for something bigge... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout @orpheus10 That is true, they probably aren't too different. Which Sonata did you have? A Sonata 2 or the 3? | |
| Which preampli for a ML 23.5 I am not exactly sure what you are asking but if I got your question right, there should be something from Schitt Audio that will solve your problem. They do some very good "out of the box" thinking and consequently have solutions that most audi... | |
| Ultrasonic washers and softer sound? I don't have an ultrasonic washer but I have thought about getting one. Thanks for the posting, this is very useful information for me! Have you ever tried any ultrasonic cleaning fluids? We have one for jewelry and found that some cleaning f... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout Yep, all those Grados I bought back then were from the Z series. Nice cartridges, indeed, although I think the newer cartridges are just better. BTW, Music Direct did not check for compliance, or if they did, they did not tell me as such. | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout @orpheus10 Yes, that is what I have, 1.5g. I can watch the stylus track warps, it is only the larger ones that hits the back of the cartridge body. If it doesn't strike the body, the cartridge will track the warp without a problem. Literally... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout @audioguy Actually, I am thinking of adding a Hana cartridge and a transcription arm to the turntable. If I did pick up another cartridge and arm, it would be a Hana. | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout @jperry Thanks for the tip. That place is in San Francisco, not far from my office. I could bring the warped ones over and have them flattened, and for $10 a pop, that is a LOT less than buying a LP flattener. That's a good suggestion, thank-... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout @daveyf @lewm Actually, the cartridge body does have an impact when the stylus is set so deep in the body and the body of the cartridge is just above the surface of the record. Yes, the cartridge was aligned properly, I may have made humor ou... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout @fstein - why would ever I want a new turntable? |
