| Forward or laid back hm1 - with due respect, I think you are still stuck in the '80s. Most of us don't even bother to argue these issues any more. But, don't let me stop you. Thanks for visiting planet audio. | |
| Forward or laid back hm1- I don’t think you get away that easily. Please re-read my previous post: the question of "perspective" that you seem to be complaining about really starts with the recording. And much of what I described pertains to orchestral recordings and ... | |
| Who in the North New Jersey area. to set up and dial in turntable? Good for you, GEG! I'm in NY right now, but hankering to get back to Texas. Welcome to your new home- that's exciting. | |
| Forward or laid back Don't we have to start with how the recording was recorded? Some audiophile records and some classical and jazz records were set up to get a pretty natural perspective on the proceedings. (Simple two track recordings of a blues band, or man + guit... | |
| Question about valves running hours migueca- I don't know about military/industrial practice, but back in the '60s, it was pretty common for tubes (and free standing tube testing machines that looked like ATMs in size) to be everywhere- drug stores, hardware stores, electronic speci... | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? td160- and attention to the pressings, which vary considerably in what is emphasized. | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? As impressive a roster as any. Those shows in that era covered a huge range of different types and styles of music, and I don't think the audiences were all that different- you could hear soul or boogie one night and go psychedelic the next. | |
| Is a stereo amp, when bridged to mono, by definition differential? Thanks for explaining, Al. They were interesting to use. | |
| Is a stereo amp, when bridged to mono, by definition differential? So, let me throw in a question about that Audiopax amp- the 88, if memory serves, which consisted of two mirror image amp circuits that were combined in a single channel with controls that allowed you to vary their performance in relation to each ... | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? So, Wolf, have you gone to hear David Lindley do his one man shows? He is out and about again. Killer player, great range of stringed instruments. (And, not too loud, which always kills it for me- he used to use a Dumble but I think he just uses t... | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? I know, as I guess any Zep fan does, that Page used a Tele on Zep 1 with a small overdriven amp. When he started using Les Pauls, I think he overdrove them by using the Echoplex preamp into the amps- Marshalls? Live -very loud.Reproducing that at ... | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? I remember playing Zep 1 shortly after it was released on a system cobbled together by taking a suitcase stereo my parents owned, and jacking the output into an organ amp and a PA column that I set up in my bedroom when my parents weren't home. Si... | |
| New Vinyl or Old Vinyl ? MoFi, is your UK first an A2/B2? Do you find it grainy? I've had some early UKs, not a true first, and the B2 sides always sounded less good than the B3. My go to is generally the UK A3/B3, but like you, I have a bunch of copies. Never owned the U... | |
| Who in the North New Jersey area. to set up and dial in turntable? Do you have a stylus pressure gauge and the protractor for the arm, at a minimum? I don’t know enough about the Reed arm to advise on specific set up issues peculiar to it, but you want to make sure you’ve got overhang and alignment in the arm (ze... | |
| Who in the North New Jersey area. to set up and dial in turntable? JerryG and String- have no axe to grind re Mr. Rutan, but are you suggesting that the OP take his turntable to the dealers and schlep it home with the expectation that the 'set-up' done in store will be sufficient? Obviously, if Audio Connection m... |
