| Cheap cart confession DENON 103-I'm limited to something @ .3/4 mv at best. I don't want to bother with a step up. Considered the Hana.I went Soundsmith, just to try MI in my system. I've heard them demoed by Peter. Very nice. Entry level Otello on the cheap. I'm expec... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush Those are 2 popular units.,one of which i've tried.-Herron. No noticeable tube rush at "reasonable" volume, from the listening position. If you're expecting SS, absolute quiet during blast sessions,in between cuts-good luck on that. Even the fines... | |
| Cheap cart confession Meaning it's beyond warranty=gottta have a replacement. Just surprised I like hearing even the least expensive cart enough over the CD's. | |
| ART7 vs. ART9 vs. OC9X-series vs. Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star Past carts-OC9 III, ART9I'm wondering if the new OC9 series is just cosmetic with threaded bodies, a cantilever change?You're aware the 9 has a following. The 7 supposedly has the slightest bit of refinement(said an AT distributor)Maybe noticeabl... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Geez...Is anyone going to address the OP's simple question?I'm betting the OP is aware it's a subjective topic. He just wants suggestions on the latest, reasonably priced gear to consider? I was hoping to read experiences, not members pontificate.... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! "FYI, very little of the mfring is done by VPI. Most if not all of the machining is done by MDI mfring in Lakewood NJ; VPI assembles the components."Common in many industries, VPI's products possibly would have an even higher dealer cost if they w... | |
| Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed - 50th Anniversary just released on MQA - Tidal HiFi tom8999-Bravo! Grazie mille! I will bring some regional prosciutto and cheese, if I'm ever in the neighborhood. Cycling thru Northern Italy many years ago, is how I was turned on to Barolo. Old Italian guys on bikes inviting me for dinner with the... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! Okay...the Vanquish looks much better here:https://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=Awr9Hr7h375d8WwAUxOKnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTIzbGo4Z2s5BHNlY...Looks like it doesn't have the latest arm.No contrasting,trendy color anodizing or the ridiculous sta... | |
| Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed - 50th Anniversary just released on MQA - Tidal HiFi tom8999-I've heard many Lumin based rigs, so I can imagine it's rockin.From Beggars to Exile, there isn't one flat tune. I could put those 4 albums on random and not get sick of the Stones.Impossible to listen,at low volume. It's not proper unt... | |
| Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed - 50th Anniversary just released on MQA - Tidal HiFi My table is mothballed for the moment. I popped in my old ABKO CeeDee, which hasn't seen action for quite some time. Keefs acoustic guitar on"Let it Bleed" sounds convincingly(close enough)real,IMHO. Micks vocals in sections, "are there"I can play... | |
| Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed - 50th Anniversary just released on MQA - Tidal HiFi I don’t know if my hearing can discern MQA files as "better", but "Monkey Man" kicked a-- thru my 1970 Olson receiver via BSR table during my youth.Sounds even better now, that I have an original press and a decent rig 40 some years later!Turn it up! | |
| Each recording has one right volume level. "Played less loud the bass will be lacking. Played louder it will be overwhelming."Millercarbons comment reinforces my belief that a subwoofers adjustment IS NOT "set and forget" That's if you're in audio geek mode, and not just enjoying the musi... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! Lewm- If VPI is there, at least tell Harry/Matt enough with the blue light embellishment. Maybe a nudge to trickle down the DD/mag design to a $5K pricepoint? Yeah, it's a ridiculous suggestion. | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! Hmm...I'm a VPI fan, I have no desire to replace my aging Classic.There are features/innovations that appear interesting, but the aesthetic is tired. Yawn. Stand Looks like an over grown Ares plinth. I'll take the table minus the stand. Is that lo... | |
| REVIEW: Pearl Jam, Live At Easy Street Slaw-My preference is for period press of anything I buy. That period of Rock doesn't last long in my neighborhood stores. Unobtanioum.I have the 20th anniversary 2 LP "Ten" purchased against my better judgement. A decent digital setup is equall... |
