Source of Fremer's "1 arc second" claim? "I can hear 2–3 cent difference" oberoniaonia- I'm with you on ability to hear subtle differences. I play my guitar along with my favorite artist on LP, and find by way of the tuner, recordings are sometimes a couple of cents higher/lower than ... | |
Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One "PLX-1000 in the same category as the 1200G" Comparing a base model sedan with smallest motor and hand crank windows to turbocharged, computer controlled everything flagship. Perhaps underneath everything the core used is made by same manufactur... | |
Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One " You are making the1200G feel like a bit of a goldilocks here. " Reality, it's going to be your call and ears. I truly enjoy my VPI Classic. Would I ever buy another VPI? With the exception of the HW40, doubtful. I do like the traditional loo... | |
Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One 'I can’t help but think if they’ll lower it to $4,500 in a year." Funny you mentioned that... I was going to write something similar. The UD is a fine table at the adjusted price. MD price probably will drop in a couple of years due to many ... | |
Source of Fremer's "1 arc second" claim? Audiophile/phools possess hearing skills superior to any mammal. Some even treat this hobby as if they as playing an actual musical instrument 😂! One time at an audio show, the exhibitor played LP I had with me. In the group of listeners were... | |
New to Turntables None of the choices will sound as expected without a decent phonostage. Expense can be subjective as the table. | |
Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One "I currently have a Mofi Ultradeck " MoFi Electronics MasterDeck Turntable Maybe worth looking into, since it's around the same price point as your chosen models. MoFi Electronics MasterDeck turntable | Stereophile.com | |
Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One 2 different "sound signatures." Technics will be speed accurate over the VPI. The 1300G has most of the 1200G and is less "DJ" looking. Get bored and put a nicer arm for another step up in performance. I would be comfortable with either for lon... | |
Mike's Barn. Mike's system has that "sound' that every high performance setup displays even thru a not so great recording and cell phone speaker. The ONLY thing lacking is having a fabulous view of a spectacular mountain range or ocean view. A room of cour... | |
Rush 50 (Anniversary Super Deluxe) I have a debut Mercury press saved only because a roommate was a Rush head and gifted to me in 1981. https://www.discogs.com/release/5293717-Rush-Rush Moving Pictures was red hot, and I wasn't really into Rush at the time. Roomie insisted I gi... | |
Traded Off my SLP-05 "my beloved Cary SLP-05 " If it truly was, you wouldn't have parted ways with it. The BHK was highly rated by both users and reviewers, but in the end no one has your ears. Your allowing needless audio neurosis take over before you even listen... | |
PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 Enjoy your new setup. You got a deal with the KT 150's. I use lower powered 6L6G NOS. A close enough compromise of EL34 mids and KT88 bass. When you get the itch,the 2 inner preamp tubes are the money slots. To my ears, the other 2 are a waste o... | |
Guidance on cartridge options or new table You're listening to reissue LP's which essentially are equivalent to a file/CD. The digital setup is "better" than your table setup, so a different cart/table investment might be what's the bottleneck is? Phonoamp is competent. Until a certain ... | |
Potential relief for tinnitus? Longtime tinnitus. I believe I read about similar research couple years back? We are far away from relief, unfortunately. | |
Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... "Help me out here guys, is it MM, MC, or does it run both? It’s so small that I thought it might be a step up transformer." https://m.youtube.com/shorts/zOlhHakrKeE |
