| New Cure Release I wonder what the DR of the vinyl is. Anyone know? | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital People here are putting out wrong info. Whether vinyl sounds better than digital, is related to the mastering of both. If the vinyl is mastered very well but the digital not so much, the vinyl will sound better on a good system no matter how good ... | |
| Physically Comfortable Headphones Echoing the comments regarding comfort of Hifiman headphones. I have the HE1000 V2 and they are very comfortable. Had the Arya v2 before that, and they are the same. | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album I have too many speicific records to recommend, so instead will give you labels and series to focus on: Analogue Productions - most of their releases are excellent, they are releasing popular albums under the Atlantic label under their Atlanti... | |
| Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker? I have a pair of Eatons, which I absolutely love and have ended my quest for speakers. They are very slightly warm, with really nice bass and somewhat tamed highs without losing too much resolution. Their imaging is great as well. Coming from a br... | |
| KEF LS60 WIRELESS + KC62 SUB OR HEGEL H390/KEF R7 META + KC62 SUB? Since space is an issue, why don’t you go the R3 Meta route + sub? You won’t be missing bass as you’ll have a sub and many people prefer bookshelf speakers for their better imaging/disappearing act. This solution makes the most sense to me, will b... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Check out the Tannoy legacy series--the biggest one (Arden) is in the 10k range. There's also the Cheviot, and the smallest one--Eaton. I have the Eaton and have found it very non-fatiguing but detailed enough and it packs a nice low end punch. I... | |
| Digital LP’s @yoyoyaya is correct that CDs technically have a higher dynamic range than vinyl—however mastering on CD tends to be extremely compressed, whereas good vinyl mastering engineers make their records dynamic, often more so than their CD counterparts.... | |
| Vinyl Lovers I second analog productions and reading about pressings on the Hoffman forums. Rhino also has some good releases. Look for mastering engineers such as Kevin Gray, Chris Bellman, Bernie Grundman, and Ryan K Smith. I think some of the quality AAA re... | |
| Upgrading from a Pro-ject X2 to Technics Sl-1200G @noromance i was actually considering the MP-200 or MP-500. Thanks. | |
| Where to insert tubes while running a Luxman SS integrated Thanks @richdirector ; very helpful. I presume you find your Ardens warmer than any of the KEFs you’ve heard? | |
| Where to insert tubes while running a Luxman SS integrated Thanks @mapman and @yogiboy . I’ll try to audition some Tannoys and Spendors (maybe somewhat of a challenge as I'm based in the US). I guess the question of whether to add tubes somewhere in the chain will follow after I acquire new speakers. | |
| Where to insert tubes while running a Luxman SS integrated @mapman perhaps not, but I’m very satisfied with the combo when I play my good vinyl pressings and even some well-recorded digital. It’s really bad pressings and some digital that become too harsh (which the R3s do not mask at all—I had the same ... | |
| Where to insert tubes while running a Luxman SS integrated @lalitk sounds like words of wisdom. Do you have any speaker recommendations in the 4-6k range to run with the Luxman? | |
| Where to insert tubes while running a Luxman SS integrated Thanks all for the insight. Given that I’d like to run with the Luxman, get a somewhat warmer sound through new speakers (the Tannoy Legacy from what I can tell should be a bit warmer than the R3s while maintaining a lot of the imaging/soundstagi... |
