| Help me to choose turntable below 1600$. I've mentioned before that think the Regas are extremely well designed, but the lack of VTA kills them for me…I refuse to shim…no shim…no no no. I have seen (but not heard) a Pro-Ject "The Classic" and have considered one of those with a Hana cart... | |
| Do people typically sell soundbars on this website? It would seem ridiculous to "sell" a sandbar as they exist mostly as a hazard to navigation, and I've run a small boat into them a few times. wait…uh…oh…sound bars…nevermind. | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. Geoffkait…your incessant and weirdly snarky little comments simply make you seem like a weirdo who can't resist stalking me with inane, unfunny posts…do you need more friends? Are you simply lonely and sad? Need a hug? Not sure exactly why you fee... | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. I laughed at myself while breaking in these cables but figured, hey, I gotta see if this stuff is as advertised…I actually had white noise from a rarely used tuner running through them all night for a week or so, and then just ran my rig as usual ... | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. Don't get too excited…they won't reach their potential until late July. | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. I've had solid core AQ cables both balanced and RCA in my rig for a while, and after buying a new amp without XLR inputs I needed a decent RCA cable…saw the Morrow ad and bought their "el cheapo" MA1 IC . When I asked when they were shipping the t... | |
| Wireless subwoofer I think the wireless REL gizmo is cool, and wish REL would make one that retrofits older REL models…how hard could that be? I have 2 RELs of the same era and would love to run them wireless. REL…are you listening? | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Almarg…yeah I saw that bit about the "other" REL inputs but I choose to ignore it so I could ramble on about my RELs…so to revise: In this case, don't be like me. | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener I use 2 REL subs I bought used at different times, a Q150e 150 watt front firing 10" single driver, and a Q108e MKII 100 watt single 8" down firing…both from the same era, both in perfect shape costing around 200 bucks each (Ebay). I join them at ... | |
| Bad vinyl So it's just the peace and quiet then. | |
| Bad vinyl I’ve had good luck with new vinyl (from Barnes and Noble mostly), until the other day when I bought the new release "Bach Trios" Yo-Yo Ma, Thiele, Meyers thing. WAY too much surface noise, so back it went no questions asked…bought the CD instead a... | |
| 901 series 2 speakers The point of the "wall of sound" Dead system was discrete amps driving specific speakers for each instrument, instead of mixing everybody into the same drivers. Hense the enormity of the system, expense, and impracticality…but it sounded great fo... | |
| Conrad Johnson Classic Sixty For the record: Modern solid state amps are common among pro bass players (especially acoustic bass players who often use a small amp along with the house PA) as many designs sound great…often with tubes in the preamp section. Gallien Kruger was o... | |
| How would you get into the biz? Note that the first J2 was built after an amazingly successful career that earned Pass a legendary status in the audio community…so I suppose having a legendary status in the audio community is highly recommended before starting a new thing. On th... | |
| Doh, left system off all night My rig is composed of items designed well enough so they sound great from morning start up, and since I don't necessarily listen closely before I've been up for a while I have no idea if the rig improves, but I don't care. I've, of course, come ho... |
