| Latest Absolute Sound Taters....I was at my Porsche dealer last week and noticed (not one) but two hybrid models that are more than 1 million dollars each being serviced...I wonder how much an oil change is on those. Some people have the means.... | |
| Phono cable - necessary? Look at AntiCable... top of the line sounds very much like Wireworld top of the line. They have a money back guarantee. (not affiliated) | |
| Linn sondek vs sme ..just wondering why you want to move from VPI. To Me they make some of the best turntables in the industry, have the best customer support, have the best trade in value, etc. | |
| TT Speed Control/ Phoenix Roadrunner and Eagle Review There is an app you can download from the App Store called Platter Speed, invented by the famous Dr. Feikert. You play a 3150 hz tone from your turntable (available on most test records) it will give you an accurate platter speed....the app is fr... | |
| Sumiko Flux Buster Instructions Needed I caution you to be very careful of the use of the Flux Buster. Make sure that your cartridge can accommodate its use. Some cartridges have extremely thin internal wire that would melt with the Flux Buster. If you want to use it (I take no resp... | |
| New preamp, loss of low freq.? I suspect that the sound that you are used to hearing has changed. Perhaps the new equipment has better sound ...which doesn't mean it doesn't have good bass...just less pronounced than your previous one. I would live with it for awhile to let ... | |
| Ayre K=3x preamp? Turntable suggestions? I have been using the K1xe Ayre preamp for many years.. I've never had a problem with it though I did upgrade it to the xe. The support/service is exemplary. After all this time it still competes with the current state of the art contenders. H... | |
| Turntable for life I have a VPI and have been using it for about 12 years or so. It is extremely modular, so I can bring it to current performance standards easily with this or that upgrade which VPI offers. | |
| Transfiguration Phoenix vs Ortofon Cadenza The 3D is a wonderful arm and would benefit from the best cartridge you can install. I like the Black, but the Winfield is really much better. If you shop carefully, you can get a great deal on a Winfield because its not a brand new design. It... | |
| Great amp, crashed and burned after 30 hours... Buyer protection? ..for me, it would all depend on how much money is involved and the amount of grief and time it would take to travel down any legal road. If it were for a couple of hundred dollars, and after a brief try at making it right, I wouldn’t ruin my day... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm To ME....a little off means the cartridge goes back to the manufacturer. I can not condone the lightening of the wallet to the tune of thousands (or even hundreds) of dollars. I can not accept sloppy manufacturing. A little off means I cannot t... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm I hate to get into this dispute....but shouldn't the offset angle of the arm be specific to accommodate proper setup?? ..or can one twist the cartridge to accommodate the numbers?? | |
| Headphone Amp Question Scott... I don't know your headphones, but can tell you that they could sound much better with its own dedicated headphone amp. I believe the Oppo has their headphone jack installed as an afterthought run by a cheap op amp. | |
| Is there any difference between a phono cable and a regular interconnector? Although shielded cables can eliminate hum/noise, not all turntables need shielded. In My experience, shielded cable always sounds more "closed in" than does non shileded. | |
| What's a contender to an Audio Reference 5 SE? I'm quite surprised no one mentioned Ayre preamps. |
