| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? If anyone has a spare REL they can't get rid of, and it's going in the dumpster, please message me | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? stereo5- You're fortunate to be in an area with listenable R&R. In SoCal R&R station choices are limited to couple of awful sounding commercial stations. The days of 70's LP AOR are just memories. Listening thru a Marantz 10B /REL o... | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? I see my original post missing the last portion of my reply- Yes, if one isn't streaming, FM wherever you are likely has a PBS affiliate for Classical/Jazz if that's your thing. Listening to a R&R station isn't worth the investment for a pr... | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? SoCal here... We have 2 decent sounding stations for Classical,- 91.5 and Jazz 88.1. My 65' tubed Mac MR 71 is a daily driver. | |
| Tube Rolling Just remember the 2 innermost on both are what will have most impact. Go to the Upscaleaudio.com site Plenty of PL user reviews on most popular tubes. I remember when those were 1/4 the current price! The KT88'S should sound like... KT88's! ... | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 Modwright PH9-X-nice choice. Did you spring for the "T" upgrade also? Look forward to reading thoughts on the differences between the PH9 /Chinook. Enjoy it! | |
| Hearing problems and speaker upgrade This topic speaks to me. I say you deserve treating yourself to new speakers. Just find a brand that your ears appreciate whether that's with aids or not. | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 "How does the PL differ in presentation?" samzyx12- For whatever reason, the PL is more convincing/realstic. I don't know why it would make a difference, but the PL is all tube-MC gain and rectification. Manley and most others are FET/transf... | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 samzyx12- If you want something to play with, get the Roadrunner/Sota speed control setup and gimbal arm replacement for the Classic. OR, if you’re a DIY guy, buy a nice arm that later can be transferred to the new table. I'm quite pleased wi... | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 I use a VPI Classic also. Different flavor cartridge. AT ART9 or spend a little more Lyra Delos or whatever in between. You're setup is solid. Open the wallet wider later for a new table- then next level phonostage. The Chinook SE has been ... | |
| Optical Phono Cartridges Reading about the technology, it appears to be another "mindblowing" thing as I heard the strain gauge years ago, led by none other than Mr Soundsmith- Peter Ledermann. Can anyone share comparing the 2? Is optical "light years ahead" over SG? S... | |
| Needle resilience Lead out has "clean cut grooves" -less abrasive opposed to the squiggly grooves? | |
| Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps. The thread starter/OP uses a Magico M5, that was $90K in 2009. Does a speaker at that level need a big lump of salt to sound good? It appears the speaker is far from being optimized(room /location) | |
| Weakest link in my system The only thing I see there is trying to optimize speaker/room(damping/diffusion) and using the "best" recording of music available. After that, it's just spending money on audiophool extravagance-not that there's anything wrong with that. . ... | |
| Balanced connections to my VPI turntable? It's just $400 bucks...do it If you have that DD Avenger, you get it- just because. |
