| ASI Liveline Reference IC The electrons were confused going against the arrows on your cable(if there is any)If you heard a difference, then there is. Never a difference myself. I've read that manufacturers put arrows on their cables "because consumers expect them" | |
| vpi classic I would be all over this if I were in shopping mode. Easily a last purchase. If you ever get the urge, it can be upgraded to play with "the best"https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa2hd3-balanced-audio-technology-vk-p6se-tube-phono-stage-mc-bat... | |
| vpi classic "I will go VAC , I almost have twice ,but I have a car and motorcycle fetish too oh and guitars"oleschool- I get it.I noodle a LP- 65 Deluxe Reverb and pedal a $6K plastic(Carbon) bike . I haven’t visited the gear page lately, but it’s presently f... | |
| vpi classic oleschool-Your phonostage appears to be up to the task. When you get the itch to hear "what's next", a phono stage higher up the food chain can make a dramatic difference.I'm in the tube camp. The popular models start somewhere in the $2-3K range.... | |
| Turntable Upgrade question.. You're in a terrible spot.Endless recommendations for "the best" for your budget. Whatever it is, play the hell out of it.If the itch still persists, upgrade EVERYTHING until the wife threatens divorce. | |
| vpi classic "I didn’t even miss my Koetsu"Interesting testimony from a Koetsu owner. I'm actually on my second ART 9. The cantilever magically "disappeared" after 3 years with the first one.The ART 9 certainly isn't a "downgrade" comparing to the $2K+ Kiseki... | |
| vpi classic latik-I would seriously consider the older ART 7 over all of them if the phonostage has 65db's of gain. More refined than the ART 9. ART9 being more of a value proposition over the Kiseki.https://www.lpgear.com/product/ARART7.htmlI own the Kiseki ... | |
| How do you know what you're missing? End of the day, it's simply what sounds good to you.Stay off forums, and enjoy your music. Audiophoolery is just another hobby. | |
| Thousands of tubes for sale At least 1/3 of the lot, likely useless for audio gear. That 1/3 then becomes even smaller once you sort the duds out.Not such a "bargain" now. | |
| vpi classic I have the same VPI Classic. Been using the Audio Technica ART9 for many years. For $300 dollars less, you can still buy the original version.https://www.lpgear.com/product/ATART9.html$300 more, you get a threaded body and hair splitting differenc... | |
| The truth...Anyone can consider themselves a consultant, of anything. "I have met Laruen Bacall"Cool to imagine Lauren and Bogie spending time listening to 78’s or hanging out in a dinner club listening to big bands playing.I love this supposed bit from an interview:"I had one great marriage, I had three great child... | |
| Downside to "revealing" system? Not so fast..SS Strain Gauge-the final frontier. I've had the opportunity to sit and listen with my own LP's in a SS room w/PL. That damn SG IMO, was all those stupid audio geek superlatives AND it did sound organic.Just more to chew on. | |
| Dinah Washington, have you listened to her? Just Covid boredom/post debate fatigue for me.20 lashings with cheap lamp cord and Justin Beiber on repeat for your offense. | |
| Dinah Washington, have you listened to her? Dinah Washington "rough around the edges" Sigh...The OP puts Diana(assuming Krall?)and Rosie(whoever that is) with Ella, "Billy?"(should be Billie) and Sarah.....Enough said. | |
