| What should I expect moving from MM to MC? As mentioned, consider the Soundsmith Otello. Great cart for $400. The Audio Technica OC9 series are good value MC's. Whatever cart you have, it will be limited by the phonostage. Consider at some point a stand alone phonostage. This will be "b... | |
| Dua Lipa denies new allegations of plagiarism of her hit 'Levitating' Dua Lipa is one of the many names I see in random articles. I took a second to hear what the fuss is all about and realized I lost a valuable second of my life. Not really different from the video-driven pop from the 80's. Just mindless teen "fe... | |
| 1st full tube amp Oldchen EL34 Oldchen brand-does that indicate it's run by old guys from the CCP, instead of young, rebellious anti Xi Jinping millennials? Seriously, if you have access to a legit tech that knows tube amps to point out potential safety concerns, that's maybe ... | |
| 1st full tube amp Oldchen EL34 10 watts, single ended Class A=if it was designed as intended, and the tubes are quiet, it should sound great? At $250 shipped- BEST amp deal out there! Could a great base for a DIY project, IF you know what you're doing? | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? Well, the thread is drifting all over the place, so I thought this is appropriate Italian orchestra behind your head. (422) REAL Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale Start Up and Revs! - YouTube | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? Takeaway from this contentious thread subject-NOTHING If one thinks aftermarket power cables make for a "better" setup, then it does. If someone is in the other camp-you're right, too. I have overpriced fancy cables only because of smokin' deal... | |
| 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... |
