| Nordost cable damage - opinions? Too bad you have to find out the seller was not forthcoming. Frey2 is great cable. I would just let it ride and enjoy the music. As mentioned, if you ever decide to move up the Nordost food chain, you'll just have to take the hit and sell at a l... | |
| I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts. Congrats! Looks very German, maybe the S Class Mercedes of RCM's? I want a proper RCM. Fortunately, my used buying streak is more quiet than garbage finds. My Spin Clean makes them at least look nice and clean! Clean in good health. | |
| For you younger viewers....Etta James Etta and countless other covers are cool. But Willie's original cut is down and dirty, the way it should be. Where would Zeppelin so many others be? | |
| RCA Living Stereo 50's/early 60's RCA and Mercury "Living Presence" LP Cover have the most interesting LP artwork. That's about the only certainty of Classical LP's during the "Golden Years." SQ is all over the place with all the labels. I have great sounding a... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. "Down Down Down" is a classic, done by a lot of people (including Jeff Beck in a not-so-hot version. Not because of Jeff’s playing, but that of his band and singer" bdp24- This version isn't the take I wanted to post, but from the same filming. ... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables nyev- Good for you, finding what works for your ears. The cable forum is the WORST place to make declarations about anything audiophool-particularly Nordost! Polarizing, contentious and down right wacky to even the "normal" audio fans here. M... | |
| Marantz TT15/ Clearaudio Satisfy for MC carts? It's a price point turntable-$1500. Likely a good performer, based on the company that manufactured it. With those two factors in mind, I wouldn't think too deeply about technical absolutes. Most of the popular MC's discussed on the forums in th... | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism It's all right here: https://isoacoustics.com/isoacoustics-speaker-isolation-technology/ elastomer, arranged to do what it does. | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. "I managed to see Albert King live (fantastic!), but not Freddie" Albert King and that upside down guitar string style! I wasn't able to accomplish the concert must do -see the 3 KINGS BB. King, Albert King and the great Freddie King. | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism You probably don't want to know. Likely some low tech elastomer material originally formulated for some everyday mundane product. Not implying they don't work or worth the price, just keeping it real. A lot user reviews on their speaker stands ... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. bdp24, Yeah, this was a first to even find an original Freddie King LP in any kind of condition. I lucked out and found a VG "punchou" copy, which I was able to convince the owner to let go for $20. The other I’d like to get is the other Shelter... | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps "No it is actually not, a wrapped record is stretched but all is depending on how bad the warp is" optimize- yes, that's what I envision what's physically happening. I'm thinking a simple flattening during playback thru a VPI type outer weight ... | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps What’s surprising is how resilient the LP is. Amazing the LP grooves maintain integrity with all the deformation(is that even a word?) going on. | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Well.. the record is about 200 feet from the grocery store, and I had to pickup some things. Go me a Big Legged Woman https://www.discogs.com/release/15530449-Freddie-King-Texas-Cannonball bdp24-this is an interesting press. ''LA pre... | |
| Is an isolation transformer better than a power conditioner? It improves the SQ but not dramatically. And it is two large chassis that take up a lot of real estate. And not particularly attractive. And we’re $18K new! One would expect transformative performance." You spent $18K, and yet... Testimony for t... |
