| Turntable Essentials? Get the Fremer Turntable setup DVD. Get a digital VTF gauge for 79 from Music Direct. Setup is everything. Good brush and cleaner is essential--I am using the spin clean now which is a good low cost entry for someone with a few records. The magic ... | |
| What will be the data storage method of the future LP analog and digital files on hard drive streamed to DAC for this audiophile. Everyone else will fall for the promises of the cloud, but not me. | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp Pass XP 10 or 20 | |
| Pink Floyd As Jerry Garcia once said, the Grateful Dead are a lot like licorice. Many people don't like licorice, but those who do really like it a lot. Count me as one who likes licorice. If you hadn't seen them live enough times, you can't weigh in here, s... | |
| Good CD for testing bass response Emmylou Harris, Spyboy. Deeper Well has an amazing deep and nuanced funky bass line that will go right down through the floor but everything else too On this cd sounds amazing-- all live recorded by Daniel lanois. Also thievery corporation--riches... | |
| What is my next step to a better sound ? Jax2, I totally agree with your take. Once you set up a server/DAC it makes it so much easier over loading CDs. I run a Squeezebox into my Bel Canto DAC3 via SPDIF and can't tell the difference over my BelCanto CD1 used as a transport via AES/EBU,... | |
| Benz LPS Sounds Bad, Very Bad at 45 RPM Is your setup--alignment, overhang, VTA, VTF, etc all spot on? | |

| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? I love my squeezebox run into my Bel Canto DAC3. I get the world at my finger tips, and my local NPR music channel sounds great streamed at a pretty high res rate. I agree FM is dead for the most part, and isn't it true also that the analog FM sig... | |
| VPI Classic original vs newer tonearms OK, it is definitely 259 mm, so the tonearm is indeed the JMW Memorial 10.5i SE arm. Mystery solved. | |
| VPI Classic original vs newer tonearms Ooops. Meant 259 mm! | |
| VPI Classic original vs newer tonearms Thanks Suteet. Yip says f the spindle to tonearm pivot is 159mm it is the SE. I will measure to be sure but this makes sense. | |
| Record weights 'n clamps: Audible improvements ? I agree with Arnold Layne above. I just got a VPI Classic with the clamp and ring, and it really is a joy to use the combo. I even get a bit of a "workout" changing sides, so what the heck! Seriously, have not a/b'd between using them and not usin... | |
| Perfect Debute Albums Many good choices above! How can we forget Pretenders, Pretenders?? That is one well recorded album--I recently picked up a mint first pressing and it sounds amazing. | |
| Need Blues Rec--burn the house down guitar stuff The latest Crossroads 2010 Festival Blu Ray DVD is amazing--I picked up a copy for half off at Best buy for 17 bucks for 2 discs! A who's who of blues stars, and even a finale sit down with BB King. Sound is not DTS HD but it's 24/96 and sounds re... |
