| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? Listening to jazz on 89.3, WNUR, Northwestern University as I type this. I like listening to the college stations here in Chicago; 88.7, WLUW, Loyola, 88.3, WBEZ North Eastern, 90.9, WDCB, College Of DuPage for new and interesting music I'm not f... | |
| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle Geez! For the last forty years, I've followed Linn's maxim that the speaker should not move a millimeter. In other words when I place my hand on the speaker it should not move side to side, back and forth, not rock at all! Time and time again I... | |
| Lifting the Christmas veil mahgister, I didn't realize that you were a poet. " mahgister Must we be envious of the gear or of the wife ? I know we must not be envious ... But .... I could not imagine a better gift from a better person ... I am not enviou... | |
| Do I upgrade my cartridge or my turntable Well depending on the cartridge, that would be the least expensive and easiest upgrade. But purchasing a new LP12 is your best bet if staying with the Linn simply because it's a fresh new product with the latest main bearing. You never know what... | |
| "Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"???? I've owned the same equipment for decades but when I had an accident with my system, I basically replaced just about everything but my turntable. The thing was though, the integrated amp and SACD player I purchased new, while I liked them somehow... | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? Unless something breaks in my system, I'll stick with what I have. I still own an NYAL Moscde 300 Maxi with mods I purchased in the eighties and a recent discussion with George Kaye about it, I happened to catch him before he left for the evening... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? The first power cord that I ever made I thought made a bigger difference than an Acrotec 6 nines power cord that I thought didn't make much difference. Based on the pseudoscience (voodoo) of the time, It's braided of 18 gauge stranded wires. I do... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? When you hear live music you know what it sounds like, right? When your equipment can make you believe that you hear real instruments and voices, that's more musical. Example: say you're visiting someone or place for the first time, walking upsta... | |
| Entry CD player question? Well, not so much to suggest a machine as to show what some recent affordable players ' interiors look like. I was helping a friend out by putting together an audio system for a lakefront home that he and his significant other purchased to eventu... | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? I believe(for the most part) in Ivor Tiefebrun's maxim; Basically, if you don't get the information off the source, Lp Cd, etc., you cannot make up for it downstream. In a turntable, it's the turntable first, then the arm, and finally the cartrid... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. It's a made up term. It is simply people who enjoy listening to music where the equipment is an important part of the experience that hopefully improves their enjoyment of it, but for some, it's a never ending chase to improve that end and that e... | |
| CD Transport I have not seen/heard the Primare or the Audiolab, but if you're talking about the TEAC VRDS-701T CD Transport, yes I have heard it and other Teac models that you can also connect a master clock generator that surprisingly makes an audible improve... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? I pretty much agree with @secretguy ; "Pay no attention to forums like this." But I’ll still throw in my two cents, don’t get hung up on finding the best equipment at a specific price point. Audition equipment before you buy. I know that in some ... | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong Well, you seem to have made your mind up on the subject. Are you trying to assemble a pre 70 audio system or just or just arguing your point of view for the sake of arguing with the Audiogon collective? I'm curious why it matters to you? | |
| And while I'm asking, has anyone modified Sony ss-cs5 speakers with a GR Research kit? (jim2) Still have not seen a single review from a customer on Gr update for the Sony's so let the people know when you're finished with them and run them through their paces. Don't get me wrong about Danny, I have spoken with him and an employ... |
