| What makes music so congested? If all sound is poorly portrayed,it sounds like you need more definition in your system. Ampr? Speakers? CD player? Cables? Probably it is all contributing...or perhaps you need to put your components on spikes, or other resonance control devices.... | |
| Stylus Drag ..just for the halibut, I checked the speed of my VPI Superscoutmaster/Rim drive with and without the arm playing the record. I put on a record with a wide dynamic swing, and the hash lines of the strob remain in place...not moving forward or back... | |
| Stylus Drag You really shouldn't hear any with your Raven. If you do get it repaired. | |
| Anyone Find Headphones To Be Uncomfortable ,,,by the way....to get the most from earphones, you need a special earphone amp. | |
| Anyone Find Headphones To Be Uncomfortable I have Sennheiser 650's which I find comfortable, but hot on warm days/nights. The sound is fabulous though and I am really quite used to them. There are excellent earbuds...Shure, Ultimate Ears, etc. that go into the ear cannal rather than sittin... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? In MY system, the Grado Sonata was fuzzy, brown in color, and altogether not very good.

| Ultimate Cables no more? fagetaboutit | |
| Biwire speakers I have always found a different result than Rlwainwright (above) I have always felt bi-wiring an improvement providing the speakers lend themselves to it. | |
| Listening habits and LP storage I live in Arizona where the temps rise to 100 plus degrees. I have been here for 4 years now....I store my records in the un airconditioned garage. I store them upright on shelves with the spines out so that I can pick and choose what I want to he... | |
| Record Surface Noise Question Have you checked azimuth? Go to a camera repair store and get a mirror that is silvered on the front of it (old, used camera mirrors are this way - most mirrors are silvered on the back side which won't give you as accurate an image)....place it o... | |
| Problem with turntable/cartridge? There are many upgrades to the P25, but I found on MY Rega, that when I got it off of those rubber feet, it sounded very much better. Take 3 Cardas wood blocks and put them under the wooden surround of your turntable and hear the difference it mak... | |
| VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus I suspect the Well Tempered stuff is so interesting to us is because of its unique implementation of its workings. |
