| 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. | |
| Better than the Project Carbon TT for $ 500.00 Sunny....sounds like you have little real interest in LP. Here's a thought....get your LP's digitized onto CD's and take the money that's left from the 500 and go to live concerts. | |
| Best Preamp under 10K Can't believe Ayre wasn't mentioned | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords Cardas certainly didn't work in my system. It may be ok for others, but not for me. | |
| Which cartridge in a Nottingham Analogue? I think the Ortofon Black would be superlative...that's what I would do. | |
| A-B testing of cables In my exprience, cable sound has much to do with what it is plugged into. The same cable sounds different in different systems. I suspect that to get the results of what the cable sounds like in your system, you would have to connect it in the tra... | |
| HDMI Cables THX 333....boy is that guy wrong. I tried out 6 different HDMI cables and they looked different on my Sony, and sounded different on my Denon/NHT speakers. By far (no small different) was the Wireworld which I didn't return to the seller. | |
| HDMI Cables I use Ultraviolet 7.....can't tell you enough how good it is. |
