| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio This thread seems to have gravitated toward Youtube channels rather than dealers/manufacturers, but let me throw J.R. Bosclair (WallyTools) into the list. He's a great example of the kind of people who make this hobby enjoyable. | |
| Recommendation Tube Integrated I just picked up a Jadis DA50S. 30 Watts pure class A. I would have never believed an amp in the $10k range could perform this well until I heard this thing in my home. FWIW I am currently auditioning the Lamizator Poseidon with it. Fantastic ... | |
| SACD is VERY confusing Isn't this the problem that DoP solves? | |
| ARC amp differences. Let me re-emphasize that the slam against ARC service is way off the mark. I have an older ARC amp and preamp. The service is so responsive and reasonably priced that I don't re-tube and re-bias the amp myself. I just have them do it. They are gre... | |
| So I bought a WallyScope... @wallytools Thank you for the post, J.R. My original submission was not intended to suggest anything deficient with the WallyScope itself or your support -- which you are correct, I did not take advantage of. It was more of a comment of the repe... | |
| Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming On your original question...I have run this experiment many times. I find that that if I can get my hands on an undamaged copy of the album on vinyl, it never sounds worse than the digital stream. This is usually true even if the album was origi... | |
| So I bought a WallyScope... Lesson learned. Weird that I needed it. Hey anyone want a gently used WallyScope? Lol. | |
| So I bought a WallyScope... I can't claim to have either a S.O.T.A. table or cart, but VTA changes, even small ones, are easy to discern audibly. | |
| So I bought a WallyScope... Cards! Perfect idea. I'm not sure I understand "heel down" and "toe down" but I'll do some searching... | |
| Audio technica AT6006R tonearm lifter Yeah I would put a little blop of silicone on the outer edge of that lifter to act as a stop. | |
| Perfect Vinyl Forever I have used the service, and I would say it is just what you would expect. The records come back very thoroughly cleaned, although in some cases that does not mean they are perfect. Without my requesting it, PVF also dewarped several of my record... | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums I guess with any Zeppelin song you could argue how "hidden" it is, but I think Fool In the Rain from In Through the Out Door is one of their best songs, especially for system demo. I can't vouch for the digital release, but on vinyl, it's a great,... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report These look like they MIGHT be good speakers BUT... for the price you are getting off the shelf components. Not that they are bad components. I use the same brands these folks use in my speakers that I design. That has to be the most ham-hand... | |
| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? If you use the dicogs app to catalog your vinyl and cd collection, a successor can list those items for sale within the app after you die (assuming you share your login information), the app will provide pricing information as well. | |
| Women Who Rock I’ve known a few female drummers, and their lesser physical strength (compared to males) is a definite disadvantage. But they often play with great sensitivity and taste. Very unmasculine ;-) . Cindy Blackman would like to have a word with you ... |
