| Do 45 rpm 12" LPs really sound better than 33 rpm? Pursuant to chakster’s comments about 7” and 12” being different animals owing to culture etc there is this:The guy who mastered all the early Byrds singles would ask an LA DJ with the midnight to 6:00AM slot to play demos while he drove around th... | |
| Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!! Altec, or as someone else said about another brand, Altec Altec Altec. Specifically, the Altec 604’s. I use the C and the D. They are 101db efficiency at 16 ohms. I’ve been using them for 40 years, but over the last 3 months with a Velodyne 15” su... | |

| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD dynaquest4, you are correct. But he was popular: my point being that popularity does not necessarily align itself with quality. Promised utopia and not delivering: sounds like that someone who is currently draining the swamp... and replacing it wi... | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? I’ve had a Sumiko MMT (manufactured by Jelco: the current Jelco is basically the revered MMT) for 33 years. Sounds great, and like the Ever-ready Bunny, it’s been going and going. | |

| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... I have been able to minimize risk by doing the following:A - do the homeworkB - listen in a showroom on a setup that approximates your own as best possible C - buy the showroom model. The minus: it’s used, but by salespeople who are supposed to kn... | |
| Do 45 rpm 12" LPs really sound better than 33 rpm? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. So many factors go into it. I have mfsl pressings of the Jefferson Airplane’s Crown of Creation at 33 rpm and Volunteers at 45 rpm. Both originally mastered by the same guy, Wally Heider. The mfsl at 33 sounds decidedl... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Roberjerman,With tegard to the popularuty if the Denon cartridge, warning: I’m about to be totally crass and utterly tasteless here, if you can’t tolerate it don’t read further. Hitler won an election. If he was so popular, how could he be so bad? | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Prof1:19well put. 1:52i totally disagree. Commercially available CDs and other digital formats, due to corporate imperatives (profit) are by design not equal to analog. I’m not saying digital can’t get there. I understand Neil Young is trying. Bu... | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. In the late 90s, the president of Sony Music said that at the dawn of the CD era, it was decided that the industry’s sampling rate for CDs was to be in large part shaped by marketing considerations. Specifically, it was determined that 95% of musi... | |

| If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be? Cant do it. It changes from day to day week to week month to month year to year.
