| Recommendations for headphones under $400? Headphones really like a dedicated headphone amp | |
| I need some advise on a shipping disaster. If you used a credit card, just wipe out the transaction with a phone call to your bank. I suspect that 1 speaker is worth way less than the 2 you contracted for. Can you even replace just one speaker of that type? | |
| Sound of cables breaking in? What I found is that from the first 1/2 hr or so, the cables have a particular sound. The cables then get worse for a while and then return to the original sound. | |
| Audioquest WEL vs Wild Blue I like Audioquest a lot.....but when I plugged in WEL, it was surely a step backward....just wasn't right. I encourage all to see how it (all cables) work with their own system. | |
| Cartridge help I'm using an Ortofon Winfield. When loaded as directed I too felt that the highs (openness) was not quite there. I experimented and found 1000 ohms more to my liking....of coarse, its just a matter of taste. | |
| Buyer wants copy of passport? I forbid you to send it. | |
| Reducing Background Noise On Records I suspect your cartridge isn’t aligned as good as you can get it. My LP’s are almost as quiet as my CD’s. Check it all again...I’m sure you missed something. | |
| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? I guess almost everything......Ayre V1, Ayre K1 (with all the mods) Ayre C5xemp, VPI Superscoutmaster rim drive, Classic platter (new) 3D arm (new), 2nd pivot (new), Ortofon Winfield (newish), Vandersteen 5A speakers. ...and still making music. | |
| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? They are all fine tables....I would choose the VPI because of its great customer service and the belief the company will be there for as long as I would need them. | |
| Opinions on Possible New Set Up Have you given any thought to a state of the art Headphone system? It would probably give you more satisfaction.... | |
| advice for my clear audio analogue upgrade path DH - there is no way your path can lead to satisfaction....only a depleted wallet. Wait until you can afford what you want and then forget upgrading.....just enjoy. | |
| Class D Technology The fact is that its too new for Class D's..... the sound is just not there. There is a class D that can compete, (Merrill - but it costs many thousands)....but for now, they are just not musical. | |
| Looking to upgrade a Dynavector 20x2L on a Scoutmaster Signature The Benz LPS MR is very much better .....upgrade to a 3D arm with 2nd pivot.....sublime. | |
| Lyra Etna SL vs. Transfiguration Proteus + Koetsu Urushi Hard to believe you don't want to stay with the LPS. Check with Soundsmith, be sure you don't just get different but not better sound in your quest. | |
| AMPLIFIER BLOCKS Try it all....what do you have to loose? Put it under preamps, CD players, et al. It really works B&M baked beans works as well....you very well might like that sound better. |
