| Next MC Cartridge Advice/Recommendations Used ATOC9/ART9 and heard the 1000.I wouldn't hesitate getting the ART1000. That would be AFTER putting a nicer arm on the proven Technics foundation. Your ART9 would have been in a different league with a Kuzma or whatever. Have you considered t... | |
| Project Tube Box DS2 vs. Hagerman Audio Trumpet MC "First I up-graded the power supply to BOTW MkII toroidal power supply you can purchase from Upscale Audio, replaced the Mullard tubes with Gold Lion "Kevin's Stash" from Upscale Audio" Nearly $800 of upgrades for a $1K unit? Seems a little exc... | |
| Do speaker cables have to rest on floor? Ignore the audio police. Let those cables lay on the ground and enjoy listening to music. | |
| FINALLY-a cheapskates US cleaner? 'If you continue waiting on the perfect machine/price.....you’ll never hear how these types of machines can benefit your listening experience.' Slaw-I'm afraid you're right. Reality is a Degritter/Audio Desk level machine simply can't be made fo... | |
| FINALLY-a cheapskates US cleaner? I'll likely end up getting the Degritter or something of that caliber. Until then, keep hope SOMEONE will find a way to make a proper machine at a more digestible price. | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? The thing with "smooth Jazz" is there is a subset of highly processed dumbed down "smoother Jazz" 90's-present. The drum machine/synth stuff is criminal. The late 70's/80's groups are the benchmark. NO KENNY G please! | |
| Bully pulpits Simply IGNORE any poster who doesn't play nice. It's just an internet forum. | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? The FACT PS is being discussed 12 years since this thread was started is telling. Few albums are worthy of debate such as Pet Sounds. Nothing contemporary or in the last 40/50 or so years is close to the level of PS-at least in how it influen... | |
| FINALLY-a cheapskates US cleaner? "recent tests of the production model (seen in three videos I’ve watched) aren’t entirely convincing. It doesn’t appear to have the cleaning power of the Degritter..." I'm wary of the price-"ya get what you pay for" Perhaps a little more time to... | |
| How much should I pay for 2nd hand Opera Quinta SE I f I were adventurous and had extra cash to blow, I would get these just because their outrageous looks. Opera Caruso Rare find | |
| How much should I pay for 2nd hand Opera Quinta SE Nice speaker. I use a 1st generation Seconda, a step under the Quinta. Opera is the "everyday man$" Sonus Faber in aesthetics and build quality. Used EVERYTHING is negotiable starting near 50%. Good luck. | |
| Something Millercarbon has preached Be A Better Listener. Do not get mired in data. Interesting...this may be a new groundbreaking trend. Start a tread on someone who starts threads. | |
| JTR Speakers, why so much? Their website is awful. Doesn't tell you anything about the company. Plain black boxes suggest home theater/pro audio is the focus. You don't need speakers with nice veneer in the HT room. 18" subs-YES! Needed for explosions and a good concert ... | |
| FM Tuners "I'd be more comfortable under $300." If you look at the listings, 2 in your price range. There is a Marantz for $350. Prices are always negotiable. If you're adventurous, a true "vintage" Sherwood for $250. The Sherwood is tubed, so it will pro... | |
| FM Tuners You may be able to get a decent amount of stations with a $2.00 dipole. Rooftop is mandatory for optimum performance. Unless you like Classical/Jazz and NPR, everything else is not worth the effort. Perhaps you're in an area with a decent soundin... |
