| VPI new turntable- Prime 21 "I just received a prime 21 but haven’t opened the box yet."dherring- did you get the Shyla MC too? I understand its an AT ART9. You have a winner. | |
| Cookies. Just another reason AGon sucks The censorship parameters are sometimes a surprise. Otherwise as long you keep things in context(it's an internet forum) there are members ready to engage with meaningful responses. | |
| The Irrational But Efficacious CD Tweak One of those "if it works for you, it works!"Carry on. | |
| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono Once I understood and heard what mono is all about, stereo just adds to the "its not real, it's a recording" reality.Now and then, the mix in a stereo LP is believable. I just don't get the thinking-putting vocals on one side? Vocals should be mi... | |
| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono "Sorry, June Christy, not Julie Christy "lewm-You are referring to Julie London. I bring a 1955 mint mono copy of "Julie is her name" to demos/shows. It's on the Liberty Label. Always catches the attention of anyone in the room. It is a fine exa... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? jbhiller-Thanks for the link. Looking at the price of those caps, I'd have to think hard before taking the plunge. I have no doubt it takes the PL into the next league.f | |
| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono Enjoy it. Get some Beatles/Stones mono LP's if you're a fan. It's a breath of fresh air to hear those great songs coming from the center of your speakers instead of L&R.I wish all my LP's were mono. Some mixes are just downright awful.Even on ... | |
| If Nordost won't shorten & terminate it's own speaker cables who can please? Thank you! One thing Nordost will NOT do is shorten cables for convenience.If you purchased used cables that are too long, they will not shorten them.One thing I do question is their claim of "tuned length". I think it's a built in "safety" excuse for such r... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? Great story. It's the actual music that stirs emotions. Not the gear, cables, etc. You do see threads that appear to contradict my opinion though.If it came down to it, I would listen to a clock radio and be fine. I'm grateful having the opportun... | |
| What does ‘balance preamp’ mean? Unbalanced units are always on the verge of tipping over. They also require inordinate amount of aftermarket thingies for them to perform at their best. | |
| FM Tuner for audiophiles-is it a bad idea today? "The station I listen to spins vinyl, KCRW."yyzsantabarbara-I wasn't aware. Being in SoCal, I typically toggle between KJZZ & KUSD. Now and then I'll catch KCRW playing something cool, but since it's not a dedicated music station, it's a rando... | |
| HELP advise PLEASE - Focal Sopra 2 Speakers - I want a tube amp but " Min 2.6ohm @ 104Hz " Overthinking it.Just a matter of which tube amp you like. Demo as many as possible. The Sopra's sound great thru a decent tube amp. You'll just get multiple responses why "x" is better than "y" | |
| FM Tuner for audiophiles-is it a bad idea today? As long as you don’t listen to R&R, you’re good. There is still public broadcast stations playing Classial & Jazz. Other than that, it’s a novelty. If you’re looking for sound quality in a tuner-it’s arguably done with a tubed tuner.Take ... | |
| If Nordost won't shorten & terminate it's own speaker cables who can please? Thank you! I wouldn't have anyone but Nordost alter their cable.If you can, up your game and get Heimdall. That's where it starts with their specific engineering. It's more of the "middle of the line" for all the Norodost traits. I started off with Blue Heav... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? Perhaps someone can identify the coupling caps from this pic. Scroll 1/4 down, under "dare to compare"https://www.primaluna-usa.com/dialogue-premium-hp-integratedThere has to be some components although "selected for performance" were chosen to m... |
