| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @rauliruegas I read your first post from all those years back, with interest, but admit I haven’t read the whole thread... yet. Just bits of it. Initially you didn’t mention the Goldring (1042) MM carts. Well I have been through a similar learning... | |
| Vinyl***What If*** Bought an old Aragon pre-amp (with phono stage) for about £350 a few years ago, and more recently upgraded my Rega TT with an old Nottingham Analogue Interspace that came with an RB300 arm on eBay for £400. Added a Goldring 1042 cartridge on speci... | |
| Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it? Judging by the build quality and design of the footers on my Mini Dancer DMD 1s, I wouldn’t have thought they could be bettered...? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Specials new album Encore. Someone said it’s gone to no. 1 in the charts haha! | |
| Stop Making Sense Revisited Saw David Byrne on tour a few months ago at the Apollo in London. The whole band was mobile / wireless. You wouldn’t have thought he could top Stop Making Sense but he pretty much did. Just as unique.Never thought I’d hear those tunes live - it wa... | |
| Nottingham Interspace vs Pear Audio vs Analogue Works I was lucky enough to find a used Nottingham Analogue Interspace complete with RB300 tonearm on eBay 2 years ago. I still can’t believe the guy only wanted £400!Other system components cost much much more, but no intention to ever change this TT -... | |
| Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it? Mini Dancer One’s with the diamond tweeters.Bought second hand - about 7 years old now.Best speakers I’ve ever owned - I never want to switch my system off and go to bed. I listen all night.Forget about what it’s made of, or the technical specific... | |
| Full Range under $5k-ish Demo some of the larger Ushers and ATC SCM 40 and bigger if you can | |
| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? Upgrading to Aragon Iridium monoblocks and then playing Yello - Flag vinyl through them... mind blowing | |
| I love my Hifi It’s about the music - of course. But it’s also about how that music sounds. I can listen to electronic music and rap and e.g. Sleaford Mods through an audiophile system at home and it sounds so much better than through my iPhone on my morning com... | |
| I love my Hifi Hmm. Maybe. I guess it’s all relative to the best you know. Interesting response... | |
| Some components too old now? Good advice 4krow. I need to find someone to replace the caps on my Aragon pre-amp and power supply for the Aragon DAC - unless I learn how to do it myself. Will probably try to do it myself as my kit is far too heavy to go lugging around and I’m ... | |
| Some components too old now? Ha! Nice one @danvignau I’m with you. The focus is on whether I should update my Aragon D2A DAC cos it’s 28 years old, and it’s the one digital component I have and so the one that should benefit most from an update. I’ve been a sucker for Aragon ... | |
| Some components too old now? @gents In terms of replacing caps - I hear you, and that is one of the things that worries me. However, as I understand it that is more typically an issue with the power amp, not the preamp or CD player or DAC? (My power amps are only 6 years old ... | |
| Some components too old now? Whilst I appreciate your advice @fsmithjack I personally far prefer going to my vinyl and CD shelves than turning on a computer or hard drive. Call me old fashioned. There’s something immensely pleasurable about simply handling those records and C... |
