| Cartridge Recommendation for VPI Prime Have you made certain the Chinook settings are per SS recommendations?I have heard your Table/cart and Chinook plenty. Nice gear.Nothing inferior about your amp/speakers, but your system is underserved.I would just ensure of all adjustments and ... | |
| Switched outlet for power amp rlb61-No offense meant. I find great knowledge/experience here.Also, I don't take answers to my queries personal, and can laugh at myself when audio neurosis takes over, without me realizing.Your question was an example. It begged for my response.... | |
| Switched outlet for power amp "Just turn it on" And you thought my response wasn't "audiophile ' worthy?He probably didn't preface it similarly, though, huh? | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz Sigh...The absolute fact-record vs digital argument will continue until there isn't an ear to listen.New entrants should just seek advice on what to buy, and realize it's equivalent to asking-"what's the most meaningful religion?" | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? Yes, if your amp has a mute button, use it.Your record experience will be noise free, even without the Orbitrac procedure.Continue with gruv glide to ensure maximum quietness.Rock on! | |
| Switched outlet for power amp Seriously, you have important things in life to worry about.Turn your amp on when you want to hear it. | |
| Nordost fans "IMO you have to go up the line retry far to avoid thin"missioncoonery-I never understood/heard that often repeated remark. The latest version does however have a subtle warmth to them. Perhaps the Nordost is removing artifacts in the signal and r... | |
| Cassette tape "Is there any usefulness?"That's an odd question.What's "useful" about a cassette? Other than novelty to possibly relive your youth, more clutter the wife will complain about.What do plan on doing with a cassette? Transfer a record, then play in ... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! bondmanp-Your invitation is appreciated.I'm sure the SC is a fine product. Recording a record is a great feature. For archiving "the sound" it's the way to go. More convincing than any file/download or CD. Remaining in the stone age-without NAS o... | |
| Song (or music) you want played at your funeral. I'd like side 4 of Johnny Winter's "Second Winter"It won't offend anyone, and brief. Preferably, on a very expensive tube/table system thru gigantic horns.Afterwards, raffle the system to one of the guests.I'm eating breakfast, watching fake news ... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! The OP's postings convinced me it's a waste of time/money for me.I'd rather put a record on, and just enjoy listening. If an album is beyond cleaning, toss it, and jump into the bins for a replacement.Way too much gadget involvement, rather than a... | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? I've had the $129 Mani. Great for the price.If it was packaged with that table AND a cart for...$500, that would be something worth looking at.Not gonna happen, so it just another piece of Schiit. | |
| Cartridge Selection gareents-I've heard most of the carts mentioned on a VPI. Great suggestions.Include the Audio Technica ART9 in your search. I had one on my VPI. A Kiseki Blue replaced it,only because of a crashed cantilever.Like everything audio, it subjective l... | |
| Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6 alexwilds-not many here looking for grind and compression out of their home amps.http://fenderforum.com | |
| ***Is It Me Or Have Todays Modern Tubes Gotten REALLY REALLY Good*** Your wallet is thankful.As a hobby, I get the obsession some have with tubes. Like everything audio, it's subjective. Some have the luxury to drop more in tubes than the value of the gear. To each his own. |
