| How long does Class A have? My Futtermans do double duty in the winter: they keep my listening room - in the attic - nice and warm. I never have to turn up the heat.As for climate change, I thought politics was verboten here. I'm as left as they come on this issue and others... | |
| The smallest tube amp Not for me. Enuf said. | |
| Helping a friend build a new system For the amp, try a Dyna 70. Still great little amps, simple uncomplicated design. A refurbished, souped up one can be had for $1,500 or less and will hold their own against units costing multiple times more. | |
| A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong! My VPI HW ML II is 36 years old. | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio I have 1,600 Afro-Cuban LPs. This stuff is known for not exactly rolling off the presses in good shape. Thankfully, my high end setup makes these pressings sound ... better, usually much better. | |
| Audio deals you bought that seem impossible for the price? I buy floor demo models and second hand. I’ve saved at least 60%. | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? Millercarbon, Thomas More may have coined the word from the Greek “ou-topics”, but he meant it as a pun, since the Greek “eu-topos” means “a pleasant place”. So I think you are not entirely on solid ground. | |
| BBE Sonic Maximizer Go to this link, and see what I have in my signal path:theaudioatticvinylsundays.com/aboutMy system is not unsophisticated. These things work...when used judiciously, on recordings that were badly engineered. Overdo the settings, these things go s... | |
| Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation? Maybe you should direct that nervous energy instead into the exploration of genres of music and the wide range of artists and performances within each? That could take a lifetime and yet you would only be scratching the surface. For example, I hav... | |
| THE IRS HAS TAKEN MY TRANSACTIONS VIA PAYPAL AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS TAXABLE INCOME I disagree with jdane about the hobby part. If you have the receipt showing you paid $1000 for something and the receipt showing you sold the same thing for $500, that’s a $500 loss to be applied against other income. I’m not a tax lawyer but it d... | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? Let me put it this way: with my new (last couple of weeks) sub placement, I am now getting bass so powerful that I can’t imagine something similar in a car. It would be far too distracting and therefore dangerous. I listen to almost all genres of ... | |
| Very new to high end audio - Recomendations You cannot enter high end at £1,000. Period. Just being honest. I spent $1,000 … in 1969! I was 14-15 years old, I saved my lawn mowing money etc and I built my own Dyna 70 amp and Dyna PAS preamp, combined them with Advent speakers and Garard tur... | |
| What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question) Btw, and others may have already made this observation so I apologize for any redundancy, but rule of thumb is that digital sounds better than vinyl at entry level. Even with your upgrade, you are still at entry level. | |
| What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question) thebrokenrecord:I really don’t see the point in paying $300 for an LP that I can get for $30. If we all took very good care of the records that we bought in the 50s through the 80s (my listening sweet spot) for $7 on average, we already have hundr... | |
| What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question) My system reveals the difference between digital and analogue also. Sigh. And analog definitely has the upper hand. To be fair, I have a Rega Planet CD player trying to compete with a Koetsu Onyx / Sumiko MMT / VPI HW MK IV. Not exactly balanced c... |
