| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth Tom Port's business is discussed here, Steven Hoffman and others.Whether of not his copy of Steely Dan's Aja is worth $500, is up to the buyer. It's simplybusiness filling a demand. Does it sound "better?" Subjective, like the evaluating systems.M... | |

Plenty of useful info from someone who does know what they are talking about.http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm#conditionerYou may already know the author is a known designer.

| Speaker Cables for Sopra 2 & PremaLuna Dialogue "Nordost Heimdall 2"If you haven't already, consider reading the Nordost site, regarding their cable philosophy BEFORE splurging on the speaker cables.I have PL & H2 throughout but, the power cable makes the most sonic change. Whether you lik... | |
| Don't buy Allnic H1201 phono stage new. "On another note I couldn’t resist an older Fosgate Signature Phono Stage Preamp for a pretty decent price here on Agon a couple weeks ago. I have only been listening to the Fosgate for about a week/20-30 LPs."justinm- I read your post AFTER posti... | |
| Don't buy Allnic H1201 phono stage new. Someone needs to buy one, and report back!https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrWie_tJQdcUiwAdifBGOd_;_ylu=X3oDMTByc3RzMXFjBGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwM0BH...A couple years ago, I demoed a 1201. Nice piece. Didn't keep it, because I already have a tube rectifi... | |
| Anybody have experience with Vinyl Me Pllease or is that on the for pay forum? I just looked at the website. Gave me a CRC flashback.Meh...Other than pure convenience, looks like your getting CD's pressed on a record. Maybe LESS than that?By your account, it doesn't appear to be worthwhile. | |
| Best Cartridge for $1000-$1350? For that level table and phonostage, I would look into the AT OC9 III.Half the price.It isn’t an ART9,but does give a good amount of what it does.I owned both. Great carts in their price points. The OC9III may best the two in price/performance. Un... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD "Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD"Everytime I revisit this site and see this thread title, it reminds me of some of the headlines I see on the Yahoo home page.Todays younger "journalists" seem to use crush,slay and break, quite a bit.Anyhow... | |
| Stones mono box set thoughts on audio quality I haven't read any of the reviews on the box set.Just how "authentic" was the source material? 50 year old tapes....Spidey sense says I would be reminded of why I gave up on buying reissues...meh. If I want perfect background music, I play the C... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Hmm... I have a VPI Classic 1. I've compared it to loaned CD/DAC's in my system. Digital playback, while very precise and accurate, doesn't hit the emotional nerve like a good record on the Classic. IMO, setup with a cart and best phono state you ... | |
| Your Favorite Female Vocal Track Please Julie London singing "Laura" off the album "Julie is her name" Simply mesmerizing.I have a 1955 mono press that I never get tired of playing. WOW! | |
| The urge to tinker is awash. What TT might better mine and why? If you haven’t already, try a tubed phono.Just MY opinion-it delivers a more convincing, realistic presentation. They may be a wee bit hissy at stadium level volume, if that’s your thing. Ever notice in some SS unit reviews, the reviewer writes- "... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... "Will no one rid me of this troublesome thread?"Threads like this are simply reading entertainment while listening to your system.No knowledge/wisdom to gain from members. Just as painful..."What's the best...?" or how about "digital vs vinyl" | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Interesting thread.What did the OP end up getting? Fun read like a madavid0 rant.I research, then take the leap of faith. If my ears don't like, sell at a loss and move on. Life is TOO short. | |
| Gold Lion KT77 tubes for Primaluna Amp - a few questions I've been using the PL HP for a few years. Great amp with whatever tubes used.Matching isn't a concern with the auto bias. The GL KT77's retain the great mids, and you may notice a little more extension on both on both ends. YMMV. Changing the 4 ... |
