| U-Haul Small Shipping Boxes for vinyl You have to package the large boxes separately. You want the records to fit tight so they do not slide around. That’s a good idea. I like that. Since the bulk of my collection is regular single disk vinyl, it makes more sense to get most of the bo... | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company I heard these at a show in 2019 (I think it was CAF IIRC) and was quite impressed with the sound. Natural, dynamic, surprisingly good LF performance, no etch but nicely detailed. Worth the money? Hard to say. For me the thought of whether I might ... | |
| Bass and the REQ room simulator I just started using this feature, too. It’s pretty cool, but did anyone see if it’s possible to do any kind of smoothing on the simulation response? I found the raw simulation curves to be interesting but “too raw” to help me visualize a summary ... | |
| Bedini Class "A" 200/200 power amp vs. MC-2205? John Bedini passed away four years ago. His brother Gary passed away very quickly afterward. I owned the 25/25, the 250/250, and the 803. All good amps in their day (especially the 25/25), but IMO bettered nowadays by some amps available. Still, v... | |
| Pass labs X250.5 cracking noise pistha, if what you’re describing is coming directly from the body of the amp and not through the speakers, this is very common with Pass amps. Whoever you spoke to there is correct - noise due to thermal expansion and contraction. Annoying, but a... | |
| Radio Swiss Jazz Big fan of RSJ. Thanks fuzztone for the tip on WGBO. | |
| New Dire Straits 45RPM reissues from Mobile Fidelity Can I ask for clarification? Is the bad BIA release AMOB 441? | |
| KISEKI PURPLE NS your reviews.... I owned the Purpleheart NS, and two of my friends had also purchased ones for themselves. One had their stylus fall out. Another had the suspension fail in less than a year. Mine had a frequency response curve that looked like a curved cross - the... | |
| Damn! My Foolish Heart--I keep coming back to this tune. Good choice. This has been one of my go to selections for over 10 years. A classic. | |
| Best realistic omni type speaker option? +2 on Shahinian. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Let me just say that at least for my part, I have no affiliation or relationship at all with Merrill. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Mayor, as a reminder, you were open, to up to 30 K........The Merrill 118 mono blocks are getting raves by many......I’ve heard the 118s a number of times through various speakers, as Merrill W. lives in my part of the country and he’s had some lo... | |
| Can you use the Kirmuss Ultrasonic cleaner without the lengthy white paste steps @iamhe , did you see Fremer's video from RMAF with the panel discussion on record cleaning? Kirmuss was on the panel along with a bunch of other folks. Based on that discussion it now appears Tergikleen is the devil incarnateI wish this stuff was ... | |
| TT on Symposium Super Segue - slate or maple underneath? Well, I decided my first experiment will be (and is) the TT feet in Supercouplers, which are resting on Super Point Pods, which are sitting on a 3” Maple platform, which itself is sitting on a 13 layer Baltic Birch ply platform. I’m listening to t... | |
| TT on Symposium Super Segue - slate or maple underneath? Where's a good place to buy ASC WallDamp?It's funny to see the resurgence of Baltic Birch. Dick Shahinian, bless his memory, knew how good such material can be for building speakers. Although IIRC he used Finland Birch, back in the days when I thi... |
