| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. "I'm not super finicky in terms of being an audiophile."That makes you the most enlightened here. Just enjoying the music. | |
| New turntable: TW or Obama? Geez, I’m not the brightest bulb often....Thread title and "Obama is the Chopstick capital of Japan."This is a double jeopardy knowledge association...huh? | |
| What recording is this ? Sometimes, your question is answered in the comments section of the video-:Ghost Rider - Make Us Stronger Interesting, not my cup of tea.Edit-that's the second cut-not the intro music | |
| PS Audio P15 Power Regen versus Ansuz Mainz8 DTC Power Distributor Demo a P15/20. PS Audio will only charge you the shipping if you don't like it.Ansuz just looks like another fancy power conditioner with a website full of technical stuff to wow the reader. It isn't a AC regenerator like the PP, so not a apples... | |
| Interesting 2x2 grid to describe what a component sounds like ... do you agree Nothing new here...Just another subjective opinion. Are the latest digital "vivid/euphonic" meters being used? I'm not swayed unless equipment is tested with them. | |
| Help in deciding between these two cartridges for an upgrade "I heard the differences/improvements as I climbed the phono ladder to end up at an Audio Research REF Phono 2 prior to getting the GSi75."dhite75-My guess is your existing setup is very good as is. If you keep AT carts in your final choices, the ... | |
| Seeking ideas about how to improve my system This ISN'T a "one size fits all ears" guide. Just gives more perspectivehttp://www.cardas.com/speaker_placement.phpDon't forget-that undamped ceiling is a factor in attempting to tame a room. Look at any serious sound room-their are tiles on the c... | |
| KT 170 "Upscale doesn't even have them listed for sale yet, which to me seems odd"Maybe they haven't got the official "okay" from PL to say it's okay to use on "x" models, along with field history being a new tube?Call them to get an answer. | |
| Second opinions — how have others (including non-audiophiles) helped you? Its all illusion. Even the incredible $ystem$ in well thought out rooms.The best way to enjoy ANY system is to get some basic fundamentals in place(figuring where to STOP-that's the hard part) and stay off of audio forums. | |
| Chicago Transit Authority robert53-discogs is a great reference to check the pedigree.Not enough info to check? My suspicion that is a later reissue. There were plenty of those around in the 70's.Is there a bar code on the back? If so, definitely a reissue. Not a bad thing... | |
| Seeking ideas about how to improve my system Your gear if fine.It's your speaker setup(not your speakers) and room.If you don't have those things out 4-5 feet and 3+ feet from the side wallsyou're not hearing what they can do. Room itself addressed with appropriate damping/duffusion. Address... | |
| I must be old If one chooses to become a LP disciple, it starts with putting the effort to either bin dive and do some kind of cleaning or open your wallet-get a "stamper"(enough plugging for you know who).If you choose not to do either, then you're left with t... | |
| Help in deciding between these two cartridges for an upgrade dhite71-If you do have the P10, I would ensure playing ANY cartridge is being presented in its best light-phonostage at the MAX of your audio budget.After that, If I were in the Rega camp, ALL in with the Aphelion. Yeah, $5K but if you’re commited... | |
| Help in deciding between these two cartridges for an upgrade I am presently using a Kiseki Blue.Great cartridge, but depending on what type of "sound" you like there may be others at a more sane price-less than the current $ 2100 retail price. I found a used one for a realistic price. If your thinking about... | |
| Chicago Transit Authority Why is the original period release NOT being acknowledged as among likely "best" sounding release? Forget the reissues.It's not rocket science. There were several iterations released in 1969, but this version is still easy to find with a little e... |
