| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system To get really good, satisfying, enjoyable vinyl playback needn’t be expensive. I have 18 turntables, all legacy designs. I have 130 vintage cartridges. I have 5,000 LPs. Anyone who says you must spend $2K+ on a table, $2K+ on a cartridge, $2K... | |
| Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s? I listened to them last month at PS Audio, in their listening room. Phenomenal! They deliver more than as advertised. For $30K/pair, they are truly a bargain. Don’t know how long they’ll stay at $30K, though. They truly do set a new bar. Chris to... | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? @barts I bought my dbx discs in 1990. The base Exchange was closing out its entire stock of records. Dbx discs were $15.95 each. They reduced the entire stock to $1 each. I spent $125 in one day. 53 dbx discs. I bought every Nautilus disc and Te... | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? I have 2 Aiwa AD-F780 (1988) 3-head dual capstan drive decks. I play cassettes regularly. Most are pre-recorded commercial tapes. I love the sound! I also have 2 Technics RM240X decks, with dbx, that I listen to. Still very good playback of 47 dbx... | |
| Tube shortage? I have 4 crates of USA-made tubes. Salvaged from a warehouse in 1990. Im set for life! I prefer US made tubes over Slovakia, Russian, China tubes. Longer life and more precision. Not better sound; the BEST sound! | |
| The panic selling of tube audio had begun. I don’t own any tube/valve gear/kit. But I have around 2500 audio tubes, NOS NIB. Got them in wood crates from a dump in 1990. All USA or European. From a warehouse that closed down and was leveled for new construction. Crates say Sherwood on them... | |
| TT speed Use an arc protractor. Align stylus tip to arc for full sweep. Make parallel to only 1 grid, inside or outside, your choice. DONE. No guessing. No trial and error, no back and forth. The 2-point protractor is archaic and very inaccurate. I ha... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality Voltage regulators in the power supply also filter out LF, MF, HF, RF, UHF, UUHF. | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? There’s an ADC 10E-4 right now, $65. Not much of a hunt, really. | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality Darren at PS Audio is smart, no doubt. But as an electrical engineer myself, and a mechanical engineer also, Darren makes no sense. If RF was really a problem in the 2-meter power cord, then everyone would have to turn off their phones when power... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? I wonder if the chakster who appears in this thread is the same chakster that appears in AudioKarma? Selling your ADC 26 in here was your mistake. You need a bigger audience, more exposure. You’d sell it quickly on eBay, with a reserve price.... | |
| Any tubes currently manufactured in the US, Japan or Germany? Korg “tubes” are nothing but modified VFDs. Vacuum Fluorescent Displays. Not a real good substitute for well designed tubes. | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? I read through this thread with some interest, and a lot of experience with ADC cartridges. while I no longer have the ADC 1 (MM),I have ADC carts representing every generation until the demise of ADC/BSR in 1985. I have the 1963 ADC Point 4 wit... | |
| Please settle a bet! Political opinions of anonymous strangers got us where we are today! Im loving the $5/gal gasoline, buying from the Middle East and Russia, despite having the largest oil/natural gas reserves in the world. I wouldn’t seriously consider any 3 of ... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... I won’t argue with http://erik_squires other than to say you’re wrong on so many levels. |
