| An Off Topic Question Re Off Topic Questions That's what I have always liked about the 'sporty' versions of Volvo wagons - they are generally as functional as they look, and you can surprise a lot of people off the line if you want. | |
| Dynavector DV 507 MKII Interesting, I find no reference to it. I could have sworn I had seen one but a quick search on the net yields no results. If you do not get an answer here, you might ask the owner, Mr. Tominari (he actually lives a few doors down from me, but we ... | |
| An Off Topic Question Re Off Topic Questions Hi CW, I've seen recommendations for ContiProContact as a sporty/quiet tire for the 850 series, which is of a similar size, and for Continentals, the Kumho Ecsta, and some more expensive Michelins on the VR 70. Never having had more contact with t... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Oops... "Ascenseur Pour L'Echaffaud" | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Miles' "Ascenseur a L'Echaffaud"... while perhaps never a critical success, I love this soundtrack. | |
| An Off Topic Question Re Off Topic Questions I think it would be useful and interesting, and I am sure it would be pretty easy to set up for the powers that be (they would not even have to announce it). And it might draw more people to the site, which would only be good for the powers that b... | |
| DIY interconnects ... found MUCH success Timtim, Thanks much for doing the work. Can you elaborate on the cotton-sleeving and the stiff cotton flatweave? Does that mean that your cables are wavy? | |
| Local dealer cuts store in half says audio is dead I expect that if we are speaking of a 'decline' in the bricks & mortar audio industry (and while I see anecdotal evidence of such, I have never seen industry-wide annual sales numbers shown), it has far more to do with the change in what the c... | |
| My new CDP does SACD too.... Oh, and for classical, I forgot to extol the virtues of the Exton label, which may not be available outside Japan (though is certainly available online from Japan), but which does excellent recordings, many of them involving Vladimir Ashkenazy, ei... | |
| My new CDP does SACD too.... There are so many good SACD recordings in each genre that knowing a bit more precisely your likes and dislikes would be useful. And there are so many great recordings, limiting it to three would be a shame. As a start, in classical, I have not yet... | |
| What makes for a "great" turntable? Mapman,You got it right with your second sentence, and Swampwalker said it a different way. But most important in all of this is to have fun listenin-ta-rekkids, and part of having fun is not stressing about it, so I agree that for many listeners,... | |
| Single plinth for multiple table/motors I re-read my post afterwards and it is confusing. I am thinking of building a CLD "donut-plinth" and then seating that "donut-plinth" within a larger plinth which would have the tonearms. The other way to look at this would be to think about it as... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Thanks Raul, for chiming in and filling in the blanks. The lack of manual pitch control was the one I thought was the case (does it have screws underneath to control that way like some of its contemporaries which had pitch control underneath as we... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable I am far from an expert on these, but i have done some reading on them. My speculation on the 75, and this comes from comparing original pricing, brochures, sales method, specs, embedded technology, etc, is that after 5+ years of making the DP-80 ... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable The 75 improved on the 80 in some ways, and was made afterwards, I bet to a slightly lower price point when sold separately to assuage fans of the DP-80 (Denon themselves were trying to bring the DP-80 to the masses based on the DP-80's critical s... |
