| Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection "I used the Ultra Sonic $6,499.99 Klaudio Cleaner with poor results" No RCM will eliminate prior groove damage. If you can't "test play" a used LP, then it's simply luck of the draw. There are used LP's that can look awful/superficial scuffs bu... | |
| Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection Classical is the arguably the best genre to collect used LP's. Typically cared for, less in demand. Depending where you're at, Goodwill and record stores that bother with Classical will have gems for cheap. 50's and early 60's are the peak of t... | |

| Nordost repair "I went el cheapo for my mono block amps with power cords for time being (audience forte f3). But am on a lookout for Tyr 2 or Frey 2 power cords. " audphile1-You arguably get 80% or more of what the Odin pc does with the "sane" pricing of the Bl... | |
| Nordost repair " Just hope they don’t break. Lol" audphile1- I'm not a DIY guy, but will attempt to repair things if it appears not too involved. Since Nordost uses solid core wire, I would think it would be straight forward, as long as you use a proper strip... | |
| Nordost repair "Interesting. And you reached out to them using their web form, correct?" Yes, I reached out thru their "contact us" page. I'll just chalk it to "stuff happens." I guess if I look at the big picture-purchased used private, 1/4 of list, almost 10... | |
| Nordost repair Well after 2 unanswered emails, I give Nordost a big FAIL in the customer response column. Ordered some Neutrik NF2C-B2’s which were the Nordost OEM for this 1st run II version. I bought 2 pair for $54.96 including shipping, which probably saved ... | |
| Where to go next with the turntable ’My advise would be consider the P10 or even the Naia," If the OP likes the Rega philosophy of "just play records", P10 is reasonable. New Naia at double the cost, relative to the rest of the system-not so much. Naia does look interesting, is it... | |
| Help me find a pre-amp " I want the shityy recordings of 70s & 80s rock to come to life & fill the room(Rush, Van Halen etc)" " Source will be purely digital (Qobuz) streamed from Aurender A200 " Unfortunate you're not spinning the original LP's. Moving Pictu... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday "Played as a generic I/IV/V, the tune always sounds oversimplified/truncated to me" "That’s a poor choice of words. He hasn’t taken “ownership” of the song any more than any other guitarist or band has — it’s just their interpretation" LOL! GOOD... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday There's plenty of great blue guitarist doing their cover of Stormy Monday, and there's Eric Clapton taking ownership of the great T- Bone Walker classic. The 2 other guys aren't bad either. | |
| Seeking Legit Cartridge Expert? I'd spend half of that amount and just get a "better" cart. Your setup just needs to be optimized. I've heard VERY NICE VPI setups with $5k+ /unipivot. | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? gemoody- my comment was stepping up from your existing phono amp. If you're playing the long game-$2K+ will get something that will take advantage of future table/cart changes. | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? Parasound Z-Phono : Phono Preamp Step up your game in the phono amp. More important that the cable connection concern. | |
| Seeking Legit Cartridge Expert? "contemplating replacing my tonearm, here we go , Hifi rabbit hole approaching again.." Are you thinking of the drop in VPI gimbal or a REAL nice arm? You can at least transfer a pricey arm to the future REAL nice $ table. You'll probably have to... |
