| Norah Jones I just had my first listen.....(hard to judge with only one listen) ...but I like it a lot. All the musicians are excellent...done with great taste. The sound is disappointing (I have a vinyl edition). I'm using a VPI Superscoutmaster/rim drive... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K mmporsche....You are obviously a person of discriminating taste (I too own a Porsche).....I also own a 3D VPI arm and have had experience with many of them....the 3D is a definite winner. I would put a top of the line Lyra (Atlas or Etna...they a... | |
| What interconnects are you guys using for bi-wiring speakers? I need a Y XLR based cable. The Krell and Marantz are not differentially balanced. The balanced connections are for bragging rights. | |
| Vinyl and subwoofers You don't need a rumble filter..... Did you check if the cartridge is mounted correctly...that the mass of the arm is proper for the cartridge compliance, etc. | |
| Is it safe to A/B 2 different speakers using my int. amp's balance so I can compare? ..just the placement in the room makes a huge difference.....this is probably not a sound idea. | |
| The right footing for a turntable In My experience, granite rings....not good for my system. | |
| Acceptable Level Ground/Earth Noise My phono is dead quiet...even with the volume at full, and ear to the speaker....as it should be. | |
| Norah Jones Re:sound of the record..... I bought the LP, which I don't have yet, but will post when I get it. Too bad if the sound is poor..... I commented on Norah's latter LP's of the poor sound...even wrote a letter to her to become aware of the sound ... | |
| Norah Jones ...just read a great review of Day Breaks in the Art and Music section of this week's "The Week" (the best magazine of all time). 5 Stars for the record and the mag. | |
| Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC? Blue Jeans makes good cable, but is certainly not high end...they even say they don't believe that cable makes a difference. | |
| Vinyl and subwoofers The sub when properly set up will better the mids and highs. It seems that yours is not set up properly....you shouldn't be aware that there is a sub operating. | |
| Thiel Owners Thiel speakers are really very, very good and should have the best amplification ...I haven't heard Class D amps sound good enough for them...just sayin. | |
| sunfire classic vacuum tube preamp Carver has his own repair shop if needed. | |
| Help me decide: Grado Gold or AT440ML I'd buy the needle and see if it works....the cost is minimal. | |
| Coupling or Decoupling speakers? Everything changes the sound envelope in audio. I have Vandersteen 5A's on a Travertine floor. I will continue with the spikes on "protectors". Carpets are different. Over the years I've tried so many resonance control devices....most of them r... |
