| Phono Stage Opinions "it sounds decent"Trust your ears. You answered your own question.The built in will sound better than any $250+ stand alone box.Subjectively, you may need to spend considerably more. If changing things up are important, I would look for a nice Hi... | |
| Electric Ladyland 50 Year Anniversary Reissues Hendrix is in the elite group(Beatles,Stones..) that get endlessly milked$$$$Now that I've been reminded there are U.K. period mono's that haven't been played in ages, time to dust them off for a spin!For superfans, or to replace the noisey copy f... | |
| FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them? "I hate cable. Everything used to be free. Today everything costs $$ and you get a ton of stuff that you don’t even care about, for a price."I’ve been hanging on to OTA TV and radio on the left coast, where EVERYTHING is $$$$$$$$$$!! Thankfully, s... | |
| Speed accuracy- how accurate is accurate? "Running an iphone...33.55"I trust my ears over an iphone. Other than a constant,real time,calibrated Phoenix type controller contraption, all those "apps" are going to vary.Even then, neurosis continues.Try playing a recording with music in stand... | |
| Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp I have the Foz.Those 2 cans are NOT step ups.The circuit has active gain. According to the manual, only tube 3(12AX7) makes a noticeable sonic change.On a side note- those 2 cans are used as footers on my old REL sub! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thought I'd drop in while i'm listening to a recent acquisition. An amazingly well preserved 1957 press - The Incomparable Earl "fatha"Hines. In the 3 for $10 bin.It's a "greatest hits" compilation with cuts that likely were on 78's originally... | |

| Don't waste money on ultrasonic RCMs he's a slave to fashion...love that jacket and tie combo.I'm good with my Spin Clean until I can afford an Audio Desk. | |
| REL is dead. Long live REL Update on my 10 year old REL B3....seeing this 12 year old thread reminded me to dust/polish the cherry finish. I think this is the LAST British R..E...L, before the company is known as "REL" | |
| 1K sleeper MC cart? sbrownnw-The AT33PTG caught my attention a few years ago, but I passed because of extra expense of a step up/cables. I have also read the 33 may present itself as warm compared to the 9. Not my preference.As mentioned, if I bothered with that, the... | |
| 1K sleeper MC cart? Agreed, a crashed cart just isn't the same with a replaced cantileverThe ART 9 really is a great all around package.Coming from Benz Glider and Sumiko Blackbird, those two, to my ears were opposite each other. The 9 is somewhere in the middle.Taki... | |
| Most accurate way to adjust for correct vta on vpi classic 1 I've had my Classic 1 for nearly 8 years.Eyeball the cart level, call it a day. Maybe bump it up/down if you can actually hear improvement...but what about that thinner used copy you picked up?Use the best phono stage /cart you can afford, then yo... | |
| Stones "On Air" I had no knowledge of this. Did a quick read of the RS review.Gettin' this one! My London mono's are always on rotation on the rekkid machine. I also enjoy their latest "Blue and Lonesome" cover album. | |
