| Futterman. Jump in? Or, not so fast... I am jumping into this thread rather late. I have had a pair of NYAL Futterman OTL3s since 1985, or for 38 years. For the first 20 years, they would go on the fritz every 5 to 6 years. Since Jon Specter, with George Kaye’s assistance, converted t... | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? I’ve had my NY Audiolab Futterman OTL3s, my VPI HW MK IV table, my Sumiko MMT arm for 38 years. Outside of the tubes, the needle in the Koetsu Onyx, I’m not likely to change anything now. Caring for, starting up the amps, waiting for them to get ... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? @kota1 Thank you. Either a labor of love or an extreme form of a narcissistic disorder of some sort. The cartridge was a gift from a very famous musician who is from Canada, a member of a 1960’s group that played at Woodstock who has been solo... | |
| is sensorineural hearing loss permanent? Tinnitus can today be “cured” through “TRT”: tinnitus retraining therapy. The short answer is that the brain is fed sounds at a frequency that cancel out the sounds you are “hearing”, and your brain is then taught to ignore them. The success rat... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? @kota1 no worries, I’m set. see https://www.theaudioatticvinylsundays.com/ I put the whole shebange together over a few decades for less than $30K. | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. - Turntables matter. - No need to spend $75K. $3,000 used will do. | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? @kota1 Looks prohibitively expensive. | |

| RIP Robbie Robertson I met Levon once, around 2002 or so, at the groundbreaking for Bethel Woods, the outdoor concert venue that sits next to the original 1969 Woodstock site. I’ve gone to some shows at his Barn between Woodstock and Saugerties, not far from Big Pink,... | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? I know the initial post was about Koetsu forgeries, but the discussion went sideways into 3rd party retipping. I had been using Van den Hul for a couple decades. With COVID19, I decided I didn’t want to chance sending the cartridge across the pon... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? I love music and I want to hear it the way it was meant to be heard as closely as possible. My system, except for the room, got me there 30 years ago. As of five years ago, I finally also have the room. | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? Can’t do it. I need at least a vague idea of what your preferences are. I have 6,000 LPs, dunno if I could choose 30, never mind 3. | |
| Cable elevators I’m with your family. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum - that cartridge is crazy expensive. - given its cost, MoFi’s policy is inexcusable. Maybe we should, as others suggest, start to boycott MusicDirect. - I also would send it to Steve at VAS. He did a great job on my Koetsu Rosewood Signature: it ... | |
| Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’! I was waiting to hear the trashed remake. Instead, I’m treated to snarky click bait by a whining baby boomer. Please don’t waste our time with this nonsense. |
