| Should I spike my Forte IIIs Your room looks like a place to relax and forget audiophoolishness.To spike or not is a YMMV thing. Your setup appears more of a "gathering/sociaizing" layout.If it sounds good to you, then that's all that matters. The "E" ticket seat is obstr... | |
| Enigma Wow! Haven't heard that name in awhile...Wasn't into them at the time, but clearly remember how popular they were with friends.Great stuff for get together/ambient music to enjoy, but not actually "listen" to. Another group comes to mind, but di... | |
| Maximizing VPI Prime Performance "It actually blew the 3D printed tonearm out the water."Good to read a thread resurrect with substance. Interesting. Sonic improvement being subjective, I've noticed more threads for anything but the 3D arm lately. Wasn't too long ago the 3D was... | |
| 1st press vinyl vs new vinyl something is terribly wrong here Nothing new here......move on. | |
| Phono Cartridge for $1,000. The Blackbird is a great cartridge, as long as your system leans on the warm side. I used one years ago.Enjoy it. The Bird can get a little hot on the upper end-system dependent.Be mindful not to have a unbuttoned long sleeve shirts or have a rag ... | |
| 70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve? "expensive capsule/phonopreamp"Any record will always sound more convincing with a better cartridge. A cartridge will always sound nicer with a better phonostage. The price doesn't dictate what your ears will like. | |
| Cleaning power with tweaks. A dedicated line isn't mentioned in your post or suggested. It is arguably the first place to start.Cost effective too, compared to some audiophoolery we love to spend money on. | |
| To Couple or Decouple Bookshelf Speakers to Stands? Why not try all 3 and let your ears tell you what's "right"? | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? djones51-Macgyver has the ability to make audiophile level speakers with any surrounding natural materials in every episode, before the commercial break.Please don't include Macgyver in audiophoolery, he's above this nonsense. | |
| Phasemation EA-200 phonostage - opinions Another Japanese company I'm not familiar with. By the looks of the website, nice stuff. Their philosophy appears to be a purist approach. The 3 unit, tubed phonostage is hardcore. Something for the uberphile.I would be very concerned about US dea... | |
| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery Must be excessive quarantine time. No other interests to invest their energy in. | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? Audiophiles don't read/participate on internet forums.They are busy soldering, building and testing their speakers. | |
| Ultrasonic: should I do it? You're obviously dedicated to record play.Stop thinking, and do it. Unquestionably worth it. I would go AD. Doesn't get much better, clean and dried, ready to go in a reasonable time.Look where we are at now....life is too short and weird to not i... | |
| Rush Permanent Waves 40th Anniversary snackeyp-Reissue R&R in particular, has always been a fail to my ears. Since it's truly subjective like everything audiophool, I say whatever suits the ears, and is kind to the wallet.I resort to a reissue buy only if it's unobtanium e.g., mo... | |
| Rush Permanent Waves 40th Anniversary I gave my copy a spin, after reading this thread. A discog reference and matrix check indicates I have a SRM1-4001 1980 press, but with the several variants, my copy doesn't jive with those listed.My copy is very good. Quiet and punchy. Not having... |
