| Hearing Loss Timely and informative post.I'm going in for evaluation. Tinnitus and 7khz loss. Aging(physically) just isn't fun.Music enjoyment isn't any less, but the tinnitus can be annoying. I'll probably end up springing for nice hearing aids. | |
| Guilty Pleasure via Reader’s Digest The Readers Digest series are great for those not into getting period LP's of the 50's pressings.The Time/Life series is also a good find at thrift stores. Not unusual to find very nice sets for next to nothing. Decent recordings. I've found cop... | |
| Yet another Stones reissue...but something new? Most original presses of anything just sound more convincing to me. Some owners of the Classic 45's prefer those over 33's.Never had an itch to bother with any Zep reissues. I have a Classic HOTH 80's. Nice but I like my RL copy. | |
| Best Rock Song Ever! Anything but Hotel California? | |
| AT-ART9 cartridge on Marantz TT-15s1 - I don't think I'm getting the performance I should Something is amiss there....RTFM....we're guys! We don't need directions or manuals.While I'm sure sure the Foz is a great tool, any cart can be adjusted by ear to get an acceptable performance.According the designers, the stylus mounting isn't al... | |
| Very best sounding Vinyl Now you're enlightened.Perfect excuse to find a Pete Townsend white jumpsuit for bin diving. http://www.citizenthought.net/images/SGandPete.jpg | |
| 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... |
