| 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... | |
| Review : Emerson ER-7001 Am/Fm radio. Return of the radio king! Nice review. I thought Emerson bit the dust years ago like so many of the other American electronic company’s. I am curious how this relates to high end audio? | |
| Vinyl Records - Shipping, max/min temperatures Why not call Music Direct and ask them? They ship records all over the world to many different climates. They would know best. Most people here will have their own opinion that may or may not be true. | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges For everyone who is still following this post, I purchased an AT VM540 moving magnet cartridge pre mounted on a headshell. This way I can still use the ZU cartridge as well. I received it on Saturday and have been thoroughly enjoying my Rock recor... | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K Take this from someone who plays 90% Rock, every day. I use Golden Ear Triton Reference speaker system. Powered woofers and smooth highs. They are on sale for $9K a pair, regularly $12.5K a pair. They play Classical and Jazz superbly as well. ... | |
| A $250 Power Conditioner? I used the Shunyata Venom plug in conditioner and it worked well, cleaned the noise from the outlet When I bought mine, I don’t think it cost more than $200 but now the price is up to $300. If the price is right, it’s worth a try. If you buy f... | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers The heavier HRS weight is around the same weight as the Project record puck which I did not like. I bought the HRS weight used so I never heard the heavier weight. | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers I tried the VPI weight, the Project Record Puck (very heavy) and settled on the HRS record weight. They make 2 of which I bought the lighter one (500-600 grams) and I am ver happy. With the heavy record puck, the table which is a SL1200G lost so... | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats Michael Fremer tried a few weights and mats when he reviewed the SL1200G and concluded that the weight added a bit more focus to the sound or something like that. Of course he recommended some $600.00 record mat. Way too rich for my blood. I boug... | |
| McIntosh is now inside a Jeep luxury car. According to one of the major auto rags, the Jeep brand is the fifth worse brand for reliability problems. I believe they are in the 30% range. If I can find the Yahoo article, I will link it. With that being said and because I hate Chrysler Co... |
