| vintage turntables? I understand your nostalgia on classic turntables.I owned and enjoyed a JVC QLY5F direct drive and had Thorens TD 125 and TD 126 to compare and contrast direct drive with belt drive and suspended vs. non-suspended designs. Much enjoyment was had b... | |
| Vinyl vs. digital: what am I doing wrong? Your front end should clearly show the advantage of vinyl. I use the same preamp (different tt,cartridge,tonearm) and a sony scd777es and sony 222 for digital. Our speakers are close, as I use ML ReQuests. Our amps are cut from the same cloth, I u... | |
| Speakers for old 70s Marantz receiver? If you can find a pair of JBL L-100's with nicely preserved grills, you would have a very sweet classicsetup.Have Fun! | |
| Two questions about the latest Martin Logan's I am interested in the new Logon line also. I own the ReQuests and truly enjoy them despite their limitations. I still look forward to sitting down and listening even with nine years of ownership. I would love to hear the Summits to compare and co... | |
| good sounding cd's With your tastes, I think you would find:Willy Porter - Across a Wire (live), superbHe is an amazing guitarist and kind of under the radar.This CD always has me questioning my devotion to SACD as always a cleary superior medium.Have Fun! | |
| Rebuild for Fidelity Research FR-1 MK3F...? Mr. Van Den Hul did a superb job rebuilding mine.Boron cantilever and vdh stylus. Firmed up the bass nice while retaining that wonderful mid/high.Not sure who the American distributor is?Have Fun. | |
| What made you select "audio" as your hobby I blame the Beatles, Doors, Stones, Tull, Cat Stevens, Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Steely Dan, James Taylor, Rickie Lee Jones, Johnny Cash, Miles Davis, Byrds, Cream, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Santana, Elv... | |
| What's the best, or your fave Johnny Cash song? Maybe it's because of the length of time listening to him, and I think he has always been pretty amazing, but,his American Recordings series produced by Mr. Rubin are unbelievable. I love "Personal Jesus"Great artist, his daughter Roseann can slay... | |
| What is best amp for Maggie 3.6R My friend has Maggie 3.5's and uses Cary V12 monoblocks.Beautiful sounding rig and the Cary's are a wonderful match imho.Have Fun. | |
| Tonearm cables for suspended TT Third the Zu Xuas. I have one with a SOTA sapphire, and will swap it over to my Cosmos Series IV shortly.Have Fun | |
| If you started over what would you do differently? I had four JBL L200 studiomasters in the early 70's.I ended up selling all four, and have always regretted it. I wish I had kept a spare pair just for the urge to let it loose. They were memorable and I had a ton of fun with those beasts.I have mo... | |
| Was just Listening to Dan Fogelberg... Bdgregory has a great suggestion, Bruce Cockburn is an excellent artist.I think you would perhaps like David Gray-White Ladder, Shawn Mullins-9th Ward Picking Parlor, Chuck Prophet-No Other Love, Willy Porter-Falling Forward, and Tinsley Ellis, fo... | |
| SOTA Nova Don't fear bro, The SOTA's are kick ass good.I have never "come back" to vinyl as I "never left". I have owned Garrards, JVC's, Thorens 125 and 126 (still have the 126), have a lot of chair time with friends and heard all kinds of working man's wa... | |
| It was 40 years ago today..... Greatest Band of All Time. Yes, that was a special release, talk about "word of mouth" spreading the gospel.I usually spin them most weekends but tonight I will break out the UHQR Pepper and have all the justification I ever needed for spending co... | |
| Opinions please I have the SOTA cleaner and it is has been trouble free and it is easily one of the best investments I have made in audio. I use RRL products also and Clio's advice for a zerostat is excellent.I don't think you can go wrong with a VPI or SOTA. Cle... |
