| Digitally remastered vinyl record? Seriously? Mapman nailed it. Me, I don't care if it's digital, analog, cassette or 8 track tape, it is all about the music. | |
| What tracks really make your system shine? Katrina and the Waves, Lp, "Waves", side one, track 4 " Lovely Lindsey"! it's a rocker. The rhythm section kicks ass! Also, add Samuel Barber's "Adagio for String" it is a very erotic piece. The the Telarc recordings is best. These are the tracks ... | |
| What is a Headshell and what does it do ? Phono cartridges sound different! I have a moving magnet (mm) mounted on one headshell and a Moving coil (MC) mounted on another. Each, provides something different to the musical presentation. Being able to switch cartridges quick and easy is a p... | |
| Traveling never going to happen??? need advice If I really wanted the speakers I would drive, yet 1500 miles is a long trip. David's comments above are good too. Good Luck | |
| New direct drive turntables? The new Pioneer DJ PLX-1000 Professional Turntable appears to be a clone of the Technics SL-12xx. | |

| Upgrade from Technics 1200 MK2? $1-$1.5k budget Change the arm out on the 1200MKII. It will sound like a new/different TT but it will still be ugly, :-}. Also, if by chance you don't like the change, you can sell it without loss. | |
| Digital PCM TOSLINK out from a TV to a DAC Yes! I have a Samsung Smart TV connected to my DAC with Toslink. | |
| I Forgot... All joking aside. Over the last two years Ive replaced our CRT and 55 projection TVs. The CRT was a 32 Mitsubishi, what a beast. I purchased a Samsung 46 Monitors from Amazon at a great price. I called Goodwill and they didnt want the CRT. I... | |
| I Forgot... Advise: Go to store, buy a new TV, pay for delivery along with old TV pick up. You may not save a lot of money but you will save your back! | |

| Looking for Tube Pre-Amp Recommendations I have Thiel CS6's but are not currently in use and I used a Musical fidelity 308cr full function pre-amp with them. Before switching to my current speakers, B&W 801 s-3, the MF 308 tamed the CS6's brightness in listening room. The 308cr, whic... | |
| Plaster Walls Rodman99999 nailed it (pun intended). "Plaster/lath is much denser, more rigid and thus: less resonant" | |
| OSX Yosemite Upgrade and DAC Malfunction I feel lucky. I installed Yosemite on my 2012 Mac Mini and I have had no issues with my Esoteric D-07. iTunes is all I use. |
