Very best sounding Vinyl "So in my role as the OP, I took the Better Reords plunge and tried out A Night at the Opera, Super Hot Stamper A++ both sides. Original 1975 pressing. $150."Not surprising.I've mentioned a few times(like a broken record) that my local store would... | |
Hard of Hearing Audiophile. Ah, the joys of aging....I have RAGING tinnitus and confirmed hearing loss above 7khz. Thankfully, I don't perceive missing out on "everyday" sound-normal conversation and general music listening and my guitar playing.This past week, experienced... | |
Any advice on Ayon scorpio integrates? Wherever it's made, shouldn't deter you from buying.If the dealer seems legit with a solid warranty, that's all that matters.Some sort of 30 day return with no, or minimal restock should be offered.I've read a review years ago on that model, it's... | |
Any advice on Ayon scorpio integrates? The Ayon Scorpio may be a fine amp.They used to be plastered all over the Agon gear page, being advertised as "best of show" for every component made, touting Euro this and that. I suspect the brand is a made in China like most gear. NOT a bad ... | |
What will audiophiles do Different? Stay away from audio forums and just listen to FM radio and CDs thru my 90's receiver and whatever $500 speaker sounds best.MAYBE get a cheapTechnics DD and start another pre 80's record collection. | |
Very best sounding Vinyl "Am I the only one who thinks Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms" album is too hot? I wanna love the recording, I love the music, but it’s too sibilant for my taste....maybe its just my copy. On the other hand, Dire Straits debut album, "Dire Straits"... | |
AT-ART9 cartridge on Marantz TT-15s1 - I don't think I'm getting the performance I should "I kept reading people say 1.7 - 1.8, so I have been really hesitant to try it above 1.9."Audio Technica specs per website:1.6-2.0 (1.8 standard) | |
AT-ART9 cartridge on Marantz TT-15s1 - I don't think I'm getting the performance I should "I have read that it is REALLY finicky to dial in for best tracking results, and my cart doesn't appear to be tracking a lot of records well at all."I've used the ART9 for 5 years. Great cart in it's price point. IME, it isn't unique or finicky a... | |
Very best sounding Vinyl I don't think anyone here can tell you what the "Very best sounding Vinyl" is.I agree with Mikelavigne's assessment of a where a good sounding record comes from. 45 rpm Classic Zepp recordings-I would love to hear LZI-3 and HOH on system like Mik... | |
phono preamp for Primaluna Great choice.You're done if you stay away from audio forums. I've used a Kiseki Blue and demoed the Chinook with my PL HP setup.Enjoy it.Playing good records,speaker setup and room are now your major concerns. | |
Have you ever heard "This Whole World"? bdp24-This thread is just a reminder the Beach Boys were part of music revolution which was the early 60's, before the British Invasion.I did a refresher course on BB history. Their earliest years are especially interesting. Imagining the music re... | |
Have you ever heard "This Whole World"? I was never hip to Beach Boys stuff outside of the 60's classics.Once again, bdp24 widening my musical awareness!That song has a lot changes going on. I can understand it not grabbing the ears of the casual listener-no hooks, or catchy musical ri... | |
Rega Apheta / Aphelion overkill for P6? Whatever cart you upgrade to, using the best phonostage you can affordis paramount. | |
