| Diminishing hearing ability? Loydc...yuk..hearing aids are awful. The beauty of sound is totally gone, replaced by digital sand of the worst kind. I tried a few different brands, and decided to live without them. | |
| interconnects The very first one to upgrade is the power cord. | |
| Experiences buying used cartridges I would just feel better with a new one. | |
| New receiver I have a Denon Avr 3100 and love it. | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Also to note that the XLR connections are non standard from Rowland. I had lots of weird stuff happening with my Rowland until I discovered that. I don't remember how the connections are different, but on mine there was a difference. | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? I had Rowlands that got warm but never hot...never the less, if there was anything really wrong with your equipment, there are protection circuits that would shut it down. | |
| Help deciding which TT Another avenue of concern is a grounding issue. If the turntable is not running, I'm wondering if feedback is the problem. Do all the grounding tricks....eliminate the 3rd pin of the sub via a cheater, reverse the plug, using an extension cord, pl... | |
| Spotify sounds compressed I love Spotify for background music. I have it all over the house and at the pool. Makes the house happy. When I want serious listening I go to Vinyl/cd | |
| Wireworld versus Tara Labs The Wireworld sounds completely at ease in my system....not so with any other cable. All cables have a color to them, and you really should try before you buy, but the ease of Wireworld was sorely missed when I tried other cables. | |
| Koetsu Blue Lace vs Onyx Platinum The chopped liver Koetsu would sound awful. | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Mepearson....just for the heck of it, although a pain in the behind is to try your pivoted arm again, but without a/s. When I compared, I found that no a/s sounded better. I know that's heresy, but because your ET doesn't use it, a fair test is to... | |
| What time do you wear? Breguet....high end watch that costs as much as a Toyota | |
| To isolate or not to isolate, that is the question ..it all depends on the design of the turntable. A suspended turntable (Linn) should be on a light shelf, whereas a VPI should be as solidly anchored to the center of the earth as possible. | |
| Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad? The power conditioners I had in mu system are...Shunyata, PS Audio, Richard Grey (the worst) and a few others I don't recall. The system always sounded better with them removed. | |
| Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad? You will probably get better sound by eliminating all that stuff, and going directly into the wall. Personally, I have never met a power conditioner that didn't screw up the sound of my system. |
