| Ultrasonic record cleaners Yea, the cheap or inexpensive machines don't work, work well because they were originally designed to clean other things. Ok, the Humminguru sort of was designed for lp's but I don't know if it's much, if any better than a 16.5. The Degritter, an... | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners I own a Degritter and have used an Audio Desk and a KLaudio. I have not tried the Acoustic Sound revamp of the KLaudio but will say it's a bit pricey. I cannot say that one machine cleans better than the others, but I will say that the Audio De... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube There are so many people trying to get a foothold on a large enough audience on YouTube for income from ads, and partnerships and just asking all the time for money like Randy. Helpful? He looks more like someone who just sees what's available on... | |
| Why do so many members seem afraid of making an audio decision? I thought that I would chime in and respond, and clarify myself about audio for me in general. What made me think of this was a private audio event I went to. A very relaxed listening event at a loft in an almost industrial, not the greatest part... | |
| Its not vinyl Here's a thought, don't listen to them. You seem to have a pretty good handle on what YOU want. | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? My first Rega with a wooden base and an S-shaped arm, NAD 3140, and Allison Threes(the corner models). When properly placed, the Allison's performed well above their paygrade. Also my very first CD player; an early Magnavox/Philips built in Belg... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters The best idea is first to try something inexpensive to see if it works. If it's some company marketing them with claims they cannot prove, use terms like quantum mechanics, designed with carbon fiber with engineering from F1 racing, run away. | |
| Does a turntable make a DRAMATIC difference? Definitely upgrading the turntable can make a substantial difference but right now, I would be more concerned with all the mods done to the Rega. All these after market mods may be simply mucking up the works and not an improvement. | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? Apparently, you must not have children, but if you do, and I'm not suggesting you sneak around and check their phones, laptops, etc., but if you do? Maybe just don't listen. And now something in good taste: | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One One more soundtrack; "The Diva". I mean, we have the beautiful Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez at the opening performing the gorgeous aria from a not so often performed opera Catalani's "La Wally" secretly being recorded by a postman and on a Nagra... | |
| Help me spend $6000 Well, I'm not sure about the equipment part but if you're a scotch drinker, I would suggest purchasing fine oloroso sherry casks from Spain. First Butt, cask strength whiskeys like this are disappearing, becoming rarer and rarer. Good investment... | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One Inception. Hans Zimmer score. Very Wagnerian. | |
| Hot Rats Saw him a few times In the seventies at the Chicago Auditorium and once conducting the Chicago Civic Orchestra performing the Yellow Shark plus a rehearsal earlier. My brother was a member in his teens (viola). | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Leaving Analog Planet? I thought that he was The Analog Planet. | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media When I was replacing my damaged speakers and cd player that stopped working, I auditioned them at the time with a streamer and a sacd/cd player, both from Esoteric Audio. My experience with streamers was limited at the time and upon hearing the ... |
