| Safe to use an old Sumiko Talisman Virtuoso B? I bought a used Dynavector DV20XL or something like that and it had collapsed suspension. The bottom of the cartridge was scraping on the record. But, for that brief moment, it sounded sublime. I ended up getting it fixed by Andy at The Needle Cl... | |
| Hi current or source power cable How would the source cord know it is being used on an amp and vice versa? | |
| Static electricity and my Denafrips do not get along We use a whole house humidifier in the winter made by AirCare. I think it was around a couple of hundred dollars 2 years ago when I bought it. This puts around 5 gallons of water daily in the air. In my upstairs room, the humidity right now is ... | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K @veerossi, Sadly, I have never heard any of the bigger Tannoy’s. I only heard the inexpensive one with an 8 inch woofer. I will have to hit another Audio Show to hear the Tannoy’s. I have heard the Klipsch and am hoping to purchase a new pair o... | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges @mahler123, If the person contacts me again which I doubt, I will post the info. I do not want to start anything, I am getting too old for that amount of drama. Believe it or not, the drama really takes a toll on me and I would rather avoid. | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K @ roxy54, You are correct about the Volti speakers. I was wrong, I was thinking of another brand. | |
| Harman Kardon HD 7400 Displays E, won't play I would send it back to whomever refurbished it. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? It's all vinyl today as I am still breaking in my MM cartridge. Mott The Hoople Live Tom Petty & Heartbreakers, Damn The Torpedo's The Eagles, Greatest Hits The Who, Who's Next The Who, Live At Leeds Alice Cooper, Killer Pink Floyd, Med... | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K @roxy54, I already gave my recommendations at the beginning of this thread. | |
| Has anyone tried this? I just noticed it on my Sheffield disc. I swapped the wires on the back of my speakers as I use banana plugs. I honestly didn’t hear a difference but I didn’t play it too long. Try it for yourself and let us know what you think. | |
| A Nice repair story That is awesome. I was talking with a guy in one of the FB high end audio groups and he is waiting over 9 months for a MC 500 to be repaired at the factory. I’ll have to bookmark your post in case my MC302 ever needs attention. Happy it worked o... | |
| Does anyone know what the thickness is of the standard VPI felt mat? The newer VPI turntables like the original Prime come with a felt mat with the VPI logo on it and strobe markings. No need to bother the VPI POLICE. | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K It’s obvious that a few here have never really listened to Rock, otherwise they would not be recommending Vandersteen, Volti and other speakers that were voiced with Classical and Jazz. I owned 2 pairs of Vandersteen and they sucked on Rock. You ... | |
| Does anyone know what the thickness is of the standard VPI felt mat? The VPI felt mat is thick, maybe 1/8 of an inch. I use a felt mat that is half the thickness. I purchased it from the official PF store with the DSOTM logo. It works great on my turntable. I also tried the hard mat by Oracle or Origin, can’t r... | |
| Equipment sight but not sound. @tattooedtrackman, I hope you didn’t purchase your speakers based on Louis Lipnick’s Stereophile review. He claimed the speakers had no flaws and was pretty much laughed out of the industry. I heard them once and they were pretty impressive. I am... |
