| Whats on your turntable tonight? I'd be interested to see what the distribution on this thread has been-what records have been on the turntable tonight most frequently. Mostly because if I'm missing something, I'd like to hear it. | |
| Extremely well recorded jazz double bass? cymbals? The Bass on Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" studio recording has been a pretty good indicator for me.Good speakers have allowed me to distinguish the spatial difference between the note and slap/string noise. (The slap sounds like it is coming from a h... | |

| where could I get an armboard custom made? If it is made of wood and you have dimensions, both the overall size, and a diagram or template for the tonearm cut-out a decent cabinetmaker should be able to make one for you. If you don't know anybody that does high-quality or close tolerance w... | |
| Could use your advice re: tube gear Atmasphere is right on target in re: filter caps. It's not even fair to compare these amps to new amps without addressing the caps. (Not to mention that new caps are NOT that expensive). Re-cap them and then compare. If you still don't like them y... | |
| Amp design logic IMO, part of this pricing is hype. Boutique parts can be very pricey, especially if machining costs do not benefit from the economy of scale. Unless the manufacturer is copying a time proven circuit and modifying it, there could be significant tim... | |
| Fisher 500T Receiver The Fisher 500t is an early solid state receiver. If the tuning knob turns but the dial doesn't move it could be the dial-string, or it could be that the tuning knob has a set-screw that locks it to the shaft. Look for a hole on the side of the tu... | |
| How much is a never used rca 11411 lc-1a worth Only a fanatic could know. | |
| Digital vs Analog - A supposition... I could hardly wait for a format to replace vinyl. many Lps pressed in the 80s had lots of surface noise and skips on brand new records. The cd format at first was largely disappointing- cold, sterile, harsh (especially cymbals) but welcome as the... | |

| Buying mcintosh ma 6600 what speakers? Lot's depends upon the room. A 10x12 den is very different than an 18x 25 dedicated listening room. That said, Johsti makes a good call with the Harbeth. Vandersteen,Dynaudio, Thiel, Martin Logan... Depends what kind of music you listen to also (i... | |
| Best audio purchase of 2011 Used Dahlquist DQ-10's. They deliver music in a way that makes my heart happy. | |
| Tube-like: What tube amp can be the benchmark? Atma-sphere (no affiliation). Natural, not fatiguing, and the perception that you're listening to music- not a "system" or a stereo or even speakers for that matter (as Sounds Real Audio mentioned). Objective characteristics would include flat fr... | |
