| Concerningly loud pops in vinyl playback Change the preamp, see if it persists. | |
| Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges and you must be some genius or cyborg if you can handle 150 cartridges in your head with distinct info about their sound. @grislybutter They’re a lot like children. You just don’t forget their sound. So I guess I’m a genius, since I’m not a c... | |
| Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges this is a new level of insanity. Why don't you guys put the cartridge in a glass safe and watch it. You can play the song in your head :) I have more than 150 vintage cartridges, 1955-2021. Every cartridge presents a different sonic signature, ... | |
| Took the lithium ion battery plunge I use solar power. 100% virgin power, not recycled stuff. No carbon atoms plugging up my power lines and power supplies. Quadruple filtered SMPS and true sinewave. Plenty of power in reserve, even with the Tesla plugged in. | |
| Dual mono integrated amps I have an SAE Two A14 integrated amplifier, dual mono design. Designed by SAE, but made in Japan in 1980. It’s top notch! Each preamp and amp has its own power supply. It’s the reason I haven’t had the urge to upgrade. This FAD of putting 2 be... | |
| Has anyone noticed a slow down in sales? Right after Christmas, during a recession? When big tech are terminating 10s of 1000s of employees…. And you’re wondering about slow sales? Really?? | |
| New to vinyl question Lots of terrible advice here ^^^!! Distortion in the bass is not from mistracking, and an expensive LC or Shibata or MR isn’t going to fix it. The Blue elliptical tip is fine! And other records sound fine. A tiny bit of off-alignment won’t cau... | |
| The revolution has begun! PS Audio is marketing a SW using a Class D amp. But I haven’t heard a Class D amp I’d ever use for mids or treble. | |
| Alan Parsons - From The New World It’s by far his best work over the last 3 years….. | |
| Best Alignment Protractor? Easiest, cheapest, most precise, most customizable, with user selectable alignments (Lofgren A or B, Baerwald, Stevenson), radii, user input of pivot to spindle distance (any arm ever made!), is the Conrad Hoffman Arc Protractor. Just line your ti... | |
| Toroidal vs EI power amps any difference. Toroidal transformers look more techy. They are more expensive to wind. That’s it. No technical superiority. | |
| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track I loved the 8-track tapes! I still have all 27 cartridges I bought 1974-1980. I had a Lear 8-track player from 1976. Still have it too. Recently I played Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Honestly, it sounded every bit as good as I remember it! The Lear ... | |
| Cartridges If you’re not spending $20K+ on your cartridge, you’ll never see an improvement. You certainly won’t from $1k - $10K. | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps Tube amps aren’t more romantic, unless the filament glow turns you on. Small LEDs or neon bulbs will create the same mood. Well designed SS are superior in sound. | |
| Static attack! Time to get the humidifiers going SMH The “fixes” listed above for such a very simple and local problem…… |
