| New vs vintage/original vinyl "I set up a time for a "spin"...picked up a "new" heavy vinyl copy of "Abbey Road". I thought I could...if not win him over...at least show him a way to relent a bit on his opinion. Well, as fate would have it...the brand-new and sealed copy I... | |
| Another shout out for great service "2 weeks?Wow, that was a fast repair."I see I goofed my original post. That should be 3 weeks. 3 weeks and 3 days leaving my door and returning, to be exact. Still very reasonable. Most important, PS Audio did turn it around and Fed Ex had it on m... | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. "Hey tablejocky. Are those self powered speakers. If so, yeah you could do without $65,000 cables. I've never h"eard of them. How much would a pair set you back? Or is it if you have to ask..."chrismini-I'm just goofing on the whole premise...Thos... | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. Not worthy of these speakers https://backesmueller.de/en/products/line-serie/bm-line-100.html They are entry level cables. | |
| Pondering to pull the trigger on an AT VM 760SLC "MC is an expensive move, and OP, like me for many years is highly resistant to MC."uh...if you take the time to read about it, it's a $400 entry level moving iron cart that is compatible in a MM phonostage. | |
| Pondering to pull the trigger on an AT VM 760SLC "The old days, one could go to a number of Los Angeles stereo chain stores...Federated, Pacific Stereo, Now Sound, Rogers Sound Labs, Cal Stereo...and so many others."http://www.pacificstereo.net/store.jpgRemember the great ads in the Sunday LA Ti... | |
| Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers I REALLY want to get the Tektons, but I think they look...Part of the listening experience is staring at whatever is in your listening space. Can't get past the DIY look(not that it's a bad thing) There is enough positive buzz on them for me to or... | |
| Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers "At times my gear sounds really, really good, other times, specifically with Rock and poor recordings it can be bright, harsh, fatiguing." If you're talking Classic Rock-Zep,Beatles,Stones...., then it's gotta be on a record(just my personal opin... | |

| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Yikes! 10 year old thread, what the hell....I was listening to Blossom Dearie anyhow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPzt3A4Se_U Perhaps someone under.....45-50 would recognize her voice- Figure 8 from Schoolhouse Rock? https://www.youtube.co... | |
| Spade vs. banana plug Spade is 10 microseconds slower in removal from speaker lug. Possibly aggravating arthritis from the twisting motion in the hands that many of members have.Studies have shown cryogenic versions do not have any benefit. | |
| Shout out to So Cal LA repair facility jjss49-Do you still have the Townshend? I heard one years ago, and was blown away by the sound for the reasonable price. | |
| The Who's rock opera "TOMMY" Has there ever been a notable "VINYL REISSUE" ?? "I have never seen that London Symphony Orchestra copy for sale anywhere."I have one of those independent neighborhood stores(boarded up until who knows when) that something like that just magically shows up. Guess it will just be one of those fi... | |
| Spikes or rubber feet. If you the spikes, put felt pads w/adhesive backing on the discs. You can then slide them on the hardwood for easy positioning. | |
| Is listening daily at an average of 85db safe? "I already have slight tinnitus from many loud concerts without earplugs. (finally wised up and got some though)"And you're asking a VERY important medical question online? Ooookaay..... |
