| Annoying trend? New vinyl equalization and compression Period press for me. I listen to almost exclusively pre 1980, with a few exceptions up to 1990. Might sound limiting, but there is an abundance of unheard music in the dirty bins I go through. The "best sound" seems to be the late 50's thru late... | |
| Unreal Reel to Reel 'Tourbillon' by custom art designer Metaxas of Metaxas and Sins Just looks like more stuff for the luxury watch, supercar crowd-not that it's a bad thing. Other than aesthetic-yawn | |
| MoFi "Mobile Fidelity" Master Phono. With a $6K sticker price, it better perform like a $10K box. Seems like an odd price point for them to offer, based on their existing product line? A box designed to compete with $5-6k units @$2500 MSRP, IMO makes more sense. Nice looking unit. | |
| Will Origin Live Conqueror tonearm fit my Rega RP10's skeletal plinth? Hopefully you'll hear noticeable SQ improvements WITHOUT doing any modification/harm to the plinth, which will affect resale value. So far, doesn't sound like a smooth transition. | |
| So... this is 2st century R&R entertainment? Actually, I could imagine seeing Pink Floyd during their DOSM or Animals period, with the Sphere experience. Now THAT would be Vegas entertainment! I can listen to a few early cuts of U2, that’s about it. That place is built for a Taylor Swift ... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... This is thread is a fun read. donavabdear- Even with experienced ears which you have, it's hopeless debating "audiophiles." Everyone's an "expert" even without recording studio experience. Your setup looks fun. I'd be spending more time improvin... | |
| Need some help picking my first MC Cartridge Your phonostage has 70 db's of gain, so you can use LOMC >.2Mv or so. Audio Technica ART9 XA . Look to the XA not ART9XI(you could use either one, and be pleased) Audio-Technica AT-ART9XA Moving Coil Cartridge | LP GEAR Plenty of archive pr... | |
| Primaluna signal tube replacement "My spares were Primaluna and the noise vanished" Sometimes, merely re seating the tube in the socket cures noise. The suspect tube may still be good. | |
| Primaluna signal tube replacement The 2 innermost (gain)are the slots to fuss with. The other 4 slots arguably are fine with whatever brand you choose. Any " SQ improvement" is subtle at best- more so than changing the 2 gain tubes. 2 years seems a little early to change out pr... | |
| I won the stressless lottery Nice score. Maybe if you hung out a little longer, the matching footrest would have been tossed also. | |
| The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore THE MOST important piece to the audiophool puzzle. When the hearing deficit becomes markedly evident in tests, you can only do so much striving for T.A.S. - room, gear and tweaks. Tinnitus, with hearing loss @7Khz here. Adapting without aid, unt... | |
| What record weight for Rega RP10 "I am using a Kleos and have it set up pretty darned good." theo- the Lyra is on the same level as Apheta. Arguably, not being fully optimized with a Rega arm? "want to try the Rogue Ares II Magnum or a Sutherland" You may not be hearing what ... | |
| What record weight for Rega RP10 The best way to enjoy a Rega P10 is to use it as designed-with the most Rega cart you can afford(Apheta), along with the best phonostage your wallet can tolerate Nothing more. Once that's accomplished, listen to records and avoid audio forums. | |
| To condition or not ? There's only one concern with the motor-33.3 speed consistency, which ALL tables suffer from. Some more than others. Get one of these for REAL TIME speed monitoring. Eclipse Roadrunner – Sota Turntables | |
| You’re An Independent Dealer, Which Companies And What Products Would You Represent? Retail audio is certainly no walk in the park. Just seems like a fun way to use a bank line of credit. Carrying known brands often comes with minimum annual volume purchase requirements. Then there's moving the product, along with paying the bi... |
