| Some thoughts on dust covers "think you have completely missed one of the most important and appreciated ..." bimmerlover- Actually, I'm an LP disciple/bin diver/original press weirdo. I just make fun of my own obsession with the entire process. Currently enjoying a STRO... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers No cover on/off or dust issues https://www.elpj.com/ Similar to that thing introduced in the mid 80's with little silver discs. I like Dekays suggestion - cone of silence actually could be answer to many of life concerns. Convert all your LP'... | |
| World record elapsed time set! "21:36 minutes/seconds or hours/minutes" tooblue- In the past, I have wasted HOURS attempting to achieve "perfection" with the primary carts. Pure luck landing on the tiny "X" mark on just a few attempts. Funny thing is, I don't think my hear... | |
| ??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? I've heard many $100K+ (just table) setups, and they did sound every dollar invested. "freshly wet cleaned & vacuumed heavy pressing of "Kind of Blue" " Not exactly the "best" representation. Perhaps a pristine 59 press would have been clo... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” Congratulations on making it to the finish line. "I’m not looking forward to replacing power tubes every couple years with my retirement bonus listening time" I've use the same model for 8 years. Naturally, YMMV always applies, but good power tu... | |
| Rein in the winter static " I have a VPI prime table with the stock felt mat. The static is so bad that the mat clings to record when I remove it." Gasp! A VPI user that uses a MAT?!! | |
| Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2 Phono. Where do I go from here? Your setup deserves a much better tube phonostage. A next level, new tube unit is $4K+ At your budget used is the way to go, but this appears to be a new unit https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbc317-icon-audio-uk-ps1-mkii-mm-mc-tube-phono-pr... | |
| Noisy tube? Longtime PL user. SOMETIMES, simply removing and reseating tubes will cure errant noises. | |
| Whole Lotta Led wolf_garcia- your past music moments are always a fun read. larsman- witnessing 69 Zep had to be an attention grabbing moment. Maybe close/equal to a Jimi experience a couple years earlier. | |
| Whole Lotta Led "Saw them twice. Pure magic" tony1954- I missed the LAST opportunity in 1977 when the might Zep played 6 sold out nights at the LA Forum in SoCal. Face value of tickets were somewhere between $7-20 bucks with scalper prices around $50+. Based ... | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A I have been following this thread to read how different opinions can be. Stat users are either in the ML camp or "other"- Soundlab, vintage Quad or whatever. Your 13A's to my ears can sound very impressive with basic placement according to room... | |
| Tinnitus Lack of quality/quantiy sleep is paramount for overall health. Longtime sufferer ALSO use a CPAP machine for sleep. Doesn't surprise me that sleep is also tied to it. 7-9 hours. The indiduals who tell you/read about going on 4-5 hours and seem... | |
| Bob Ludwigs own Copy for sale "I now listen to what I call NOS music, Billy Joel, Supertramp, Atlanta Rhythm Section" My listening/purchasing generally isn't past 1980. Big early ARS fan! My neighborhood stores are packed with inexpensive, no demand, waiting to be discovere... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode "I think use of the word ultra linear is a marketing term and kind of dumb" Some posters never fail to... Sigh/shoulder shrug Keyboard strokes away for basic amp electronics knowledge https://www.analogethos.com/post/screen-ultralinear | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode " For most of the twenty three years that I have owned this amp I have always felt that I preferred triode" Your hearing isn't as sharp as it was. Now UL is needed to "push" instrument passages closer to please the ear. That's my personal diagno... |
