| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? If one has a Marantz model 7 preamp, 8B amp and 10B tuner, you do not even think about "modding" it. Same with Mac. The car comparison for audio-no bueno. Classic GM car 1/4 time slip vs Euro exotica. The Camaro against it will fail on a road co... | |
| Does a turntable make a DRAMATIC difference? Everyone's definition of "DRAMATIC" is going to be different. A "heavily modified" Rega will be left in the dust against a P8/10. I wouldn't bother with non Rega carts, since they're optimized for its own arm. If you didn't purchase the cart ye... | |
| REL Carbon Special in the house! jl1ny- That's part of the REL philosophy-they put back what we are "not hearing." "The No. 32 & 31 are RELs new reference subwoofers." ricred1-Wow! I haven't visited the site in awhile. No.32=15"@$10K!! Plebians need not apply. | |
| Shakti Stone "I grow most of the stash I smoke." czarivey, good for you, you're better off. I no longer partake, but am surrounded by people who do, and I'm fascinated by the whole scene. Never imagined back in 1980 it would be available like a dozen eggs at ... | |
| Shakti Stone "I've had all kinds of stones, but Birthday Cake strain gave me so far the BEST stone." czarivey- Are you aware that with all the cross breeding that's been going on since the 80's, PURE indica strains are rare and tough to get? There was a lo... | |
| REL Carbon Special in the house! Nice looking sub. Maybe the 3rd step down-No.25/G1 now in the REL food chain. "Is there a substantial break in period with the CS? I really didn’t notice much of a change over time with the S/510" Probably answered your own question. Asking th... | |
| Anyone know where the Virtual Systems went? You access a member’s profile page after getting the drop-down menu when you click on their name-from there you can see their virtual setup. I’ve never noticed if their system was an option in the drop down. If it was an option, it has been delete... | |
| First record cleaner I've used a Spin Clean over 10 years, because I always find excuses to not take the plunge. Someday, in this lifetime I'll get a proper machine. Spin Clean makes for a clean appearing LP more than anything. The Project unit gets good reviews, and... | |
| Original Sonus faber cremona auditor again? "I would consider getting rid of one pair of my Kappa9 speakers for the Stradaveris....but l would need a listen" Serblin was involved in the Stradivari project, so good chance your ears would agree. From the 2005 Stereophile review: "Expensi... | |
| Original Sonus faber cremona auditor again? Congratulations. Im sure they're fine sounding speakers. I have a soft spot for the SF pre acquisition. If I had things my way, These would be in my room Stradivari Homage-they're floating around the $17-20K range. Just not in my comfort zone. | |
| Record Clamp for Rega P5? 18 year old thread. Let's hope the OP upgraded to a P10. | |
| Vinyl record grading 50's Jazz labels in good condition? Unfortunate, you're not a fan of the golden era. Collectors want the complete package. Maybe some music/audio fans will be more interested in SQ over superficial scuffs. Prepare to price on low end of Disc... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? Yes to PC's but you must include this https://wonderfulengineering.com/obsessed-japanese-audiophiles-are-installing-personal-utility-poles-for-an-enhanced-audio-experience/ | |
| Does anyone on this Forum have any experience with Audio research ref 610t monoblocks "How would you compare them say to a Prima Luna" Get real! It appears you’re new to tube amps? That level of ARC and a value MIC tube amp shouldn’t be in the same sentence, with exception of equal build quality. Both amps hooked up to same setu... | |
| Audiophile Jargon Demonstrated I use this phrase....yeah...it sounds good. audiophile jargon- words used to make "professional" reviewers appear legit and make enthusiasts come across as an actual musician to non audio, music fans. The width definition is ridiculous. How on ... |
