| 845 Tube Refresh @Does Takatsuki now make an 845 tube??? | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. @lexx21, Irish Whiskey makes all systems sound better. | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. Record collecting is a pursuit / hobby in itself that requires a different commitment and specialized knowledge. I have two acquaintances who are record collectors who rarely play their collection, but enjoy their record collection just as much a... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. @skypunk, more Mig29’s were produced than all variants of the F18. I don’t own a R2R due to the high cost, limited selection, inconvenience and readily availability of quality of tapes. In addition, I was not the one who stated that their primar... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. @skypunk wroteI am, I am into sound quality. It is quality not quantity kind of like the Airforce in Russia lots of cheap junk, One F18 can shoot down 16 of them at once..If sound quality is your priority, why aren’t you using a R2R deck and play... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. ......but with a streamer plus a $15/month subscription you can access unlimited HD music. Who’s ahead now? You can make an argument for each format, but in the end one chooses what works for them. | |
| Problem with one of my Gershman Avant Garde RX-20s... HELP! Did you ask Gershman if any of their updated drivers will work? | |
| Magico Customer service Exotic car parts aren’t cheap and neither are exotic speaker parts. Just be grateful that you can get both service and parts if needed. | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? Put the unit in standby when not in use for short periods and power off completely at the end of the day. The slp 05 does not take long to reach optimal listening. | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. @dover Not wishing to stretch this overwrought saga out, but this is not correct.Skating forces are due to the offset headshell/cartridge AND the pull on the stylus.At tangent the inward skating force is zero, and therefore at the 2 null points it... | |
| Wally Tools to Offer a New Service. Perhaps this will lead to cartridge manufactures providing a certification documentation of quality control including pictures, physical and electronic measurements. As as an alternative, if I was buying a $5-10k plus cartridge, I would insist th... | |
| BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..? Wifi is for convenience not performance. Given the choice, hard wiring will yield better bit transfer without any drop outs. However, if you have to drill holes and run great lengths of cable, just go wifi and do not give it a second thought as l... | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? A high quality streamer is a transactional decision, a high quality vinyl playback system is a commitment. If your friend is willing to make the commitment to vinyl, then his efforts will be rewarded, otherwise, a streamer is an excellent option. | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. Although a larger area of contact between two surfaces would create a larger source of frictional forces, it also reduces the pressure between the two surfaces for a given force holding them together. Since pressure equals force divided by the are... | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. @millercarbon wrote Skating forces are generated just like I said, by the stylus overhanging past the tangent. When the stylus is tangent then the force of dragging through the groove is in line with the arm pivot and there is no skating force pul... |
