Equalization for vinyl nirvana
I’d be interested to hear what that does. Very expensive. @lewn, not necessarily, I know that some dsp systems are expensive  but the Parks Audio Puffin is very reasonably priced with a plethora of functionality and some folks love'em. Simple ...

moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's
@lovepianos,I went to the B&W 802D’s owner’s manual, see page 3 and you already have two types of telescoping types of speaker lifts to get the subs up off the floor. And they seem to be of very high quality with plenty of length, way more tha...

Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound?
Money trumps all. mijostyn circa 3/25/2021Ain’t that the truth. The above phrase has quite a meaning in today’s times.One of my favorite record stores have been back open to the public for awhile now and it’s time for me to do some crate digging a... 
Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound?
The thread title says it all. I can listen to jazz recordings for hours on end but can scarcely name a dozen tunes.  My jazz collection is small but still growing.  Most recordings sound great.  On the other hand, I have a substantial rock, pop an...

Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
The 'warm' sound I heard from my Pro-Ject RPM 5.1 turntable was the (very) audible hum from the pulley and belt contact. I was very disappointed.I know this is off topic but could someone explain to me how the human ear hears cogging from direct d... 
Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs?
@artemus_5 If the Watkins Stereo Generation Four monitors are as good as the are reviewed here:https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/watkins-stereo-generation-four-loudspeaker They may just work, but BEWARE of ’audiophile reviewers’. For the s... 
Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs?
I made the transition years ago, but and this is a big but, my monitors are the (almost) vintage Miller & Kreisel MPS-2510 professional studio monitors paired with (2) PSA (18") 1801’s subwoofers and this ensemble can handle anything I throw a... 
The Wilt Chamberlain of Audio Gear
My name is Lou and I’m an audio whoreThe first step is admitting you have the addiction! It is one reason that I do not subscribe to nostalgia audio, as it misses out on all the newer, and imo better developments. Yeah, but that gets expensive too... 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
I owned the Pro-Ject RPM 5.1 turntable. It was a beautiful table. https://www.henleyaudio.co.uk/products/RPM5-1But the arm would bounce like a rubber ball at the slightest of foot movements. The ’rubber band’ belt would stretch from heat and frict... 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
@audioguy85, One of the reasons high school kids in the late 70’s thru the 80’s used Technics turntables is because they were used and didn’t cost a lot of money and you could pick one up at any second store or pawn shop. We’re talking about poor ... 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
@mijostyn, I’m only guessing that Technics uses only billet high grade aluminum for the tables?Heck, my use to be daily driver is the ’lowly’ 1980 Technic SL-D2 and I love this thing!Reliable as all get out and every now and again all I have to do...
