| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? I'm conflicted on this one...I'm aware wood plays a part in tone for instruments. With the Mapleshade 4" under my table, couldn't hear a noticeable difference between the expensive slab and the 1" cheap cutting board from Target. I guess my ears... | |
| Please- No more Tin Pan Alley Can we add any Diana Krall, Eagles, Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" and any current pop. This year, "The Show" is walking distance, in my neighborhood. If there is an onslaught of the above mentioned, I can at least go home and grab a few records to he... | |
| Besides Aja and zeppelin pressings, what others are demo level recordings? How about simply spending time at your record store, and getting original presses of music YOU like? That may be a waste of time if you favor music after the 80's. The digital thing becomes dominant afterwards. May as well play the CD.Lots of mus... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation for VPI Prime mjb-You will potentially set yourself up for disappointment, going beyond making sure the basic setup is solid.The supplied instructions, online videos will get your Prime up to snuff for what you have. As mentioned earlier, ensure (by ear and SS ... | |
| 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! | |

| 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... |
