| Novice here looking for insight on equipment ive aquired Not meant to be a buzz kill but...Don't hold your breath, thinking you're gonna double your money.Original MSRP is insignificant. It's older 80's stuff, and not in league of iconic 60's Mcintosh/Marantz vintage gear. Audio gear even of what was c... | |
| Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow In 1985 I had these wide baffle boxes into the Technics "rack" setup. https://www.ebay.com/itm/RSL-Rogersound-Lab-Speed-Screen-SpeedScreen-Speakers-Pair-Good-Condition/30...Replace the passive radiators, good as new. Got rid of mine last year,whic... | |

| Tavish Vintage vs Bottlehead Eros Soundsmith OtelloI have one as a backup cart. I prefer MC.The Otello is a great performer, especially for the price.The Otello works fine with typical MM gain. | |

Followed connections from the jack, notic... | |
| What Would You Do with a Sealed, 1st Press Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"? You at least have an early period press.I would invite a few friends over who can truly appreciate it, and listen to a piece of history. Ask them to bring over a few bottles of a 59 Bordeaux.That’s what it’s all about. | |
| What Would You Do with a Sealed, 1st Press Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"? bpd24 is correct on inner sleeve. I’m confusing record lables!It’s that flimsy film type.As far as what to do with it...Unless you're not into MD, open it up an enjoy it. What's the point in owning any material thing, and not enjoy it.I'm always o... | |
| Gear in "Parasite" Korean film-perhaps Allnic? The writeups indicate it might be worth a watch. I may check it out. | |
| P.W.B. samples have arrived Why would you want the "power of suggestion" affecting your own hearing?Shouldnt one go in without anything, and just listen? Perhaps then, ask other what their experience was? | |
| What Would You Do with a Sealed, 1st Press Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"? "sealed original plastic inner sleeve"Im not certain, but a 1959 mono/stereo release would come in a paper sleeve?You've done your homework-CL 1355 (mono) or CS 8163? | |
| Best IC and SC used under 1000 dollars for my system? "Best...."Yeah, good luck on that one. Suggestions will be all over the place.Did your power cord give what you were hoping to hear?Once again, subjective, and only your ears know what's best. Certainly, no one here. I use all Nordost from the wal... | |
| Diminishing Returns You're in a an admirable spot.I've been comfortable with my system for a few seasons. No urge to replace anything, other than a phono cart, which I recently did-2nd Audio Technica ART9, for a great price.All is well, in audio world. I am just on ... | |

| How do you audition speakers at a store? Other than bringing your own music, I would be mindful of the room setup.If it's truly a professional store, it's likely "tuned" to some degree, to make a speaker perform their best. That said, it's not going to sound like that in your room, if th... | |
| Focal 1028 Be II vs. 1038 Be II -- is the big price difference worth it to go 1038? I still regret NOT grabbing a pair of mint 1038's for $3900(YES,for the pair!!)couple years ago.It was one of those "stop thinking, and grab them, opportunities" Alas, I waffled.There is no II version. Just a newer serial number run.They are all ... |
