CD player reliability.... good and bad. I used my Rotel first as a CDP then later as a CDT for nearly 20 years and it was still in perfect condition at the end . I only junked it last year to get a better CDT (I now use a UDP-LX500 into a Rega DAC-R) | |
Schumann Resonator The leading medical expert on this topic in the US is probably Beth Darnall https://profiles.stanford.edu/beth-darnall She uses Binaural frequencies around the 7-8Hz range for pain management but they only work with headphone because the the low... | |
Tubes for Schiit Saga I replaced the default tube in the Vali2 with a Telefunken Black Diamond from Tube Depot and even with this cheap headphone amp ($150) and Fiil headphones the improvement is very noticeable sounding smoother and more musical - more relaxing to lis... | |
My hearing deficits are becoming clear... The brand most used by classical musicians is Widex Evoke - they are pricy but have a special music setting that is not visible by default but your audiologist can unlock it for you. They are particularly good if you also have an iPhone since a lo... | |
Footers Under Power Conditioners? I use Herbies square dots under mine because I had put the Panamax back on the 1.5" butcher block rack too soon after sealing it with 50/50 Tung oil and Mineral Oil and the feet stuck to the surface. The feet broke when I levered it off so I neede... | |
Advice on CD transport I'm using a Pioneer UDP-LX500 universal player as my CDT, $1099 list, $999 from dealers. It was a huge improvement on the Rotel CD player I was using as a CDT and it is a top notch 4K Blu-ray player.I have the digital out plugged into a Rega DAC... | |
Phono preamp worth it with MM cartridges? Thank you - between you you've given me a lot to think about | |
Phono preamp worth it with MM cartridges? @chakster thanks, what to your ears would be a better sounding MM? My local dealer offered me the 2M Black which I'm open to as a long time fan of Ortofon but he thought it comparable to the Exact. I guess there's no point buying a better cartridg... | |
Building your own HiFI rack (hasn't been discussed in a while) If any of you wish to reply with links to photos of your homemade racks or stands, I'd be curious to see them. Thanks. | |
Building your own HiFI rack (hasn't been discussed in a while) @twoleftears I've four large gliders, thanks. 3/8" was easist size to buy metal sockets to insert into the legs@mattmiller my previous rack was Salamander, my partner objected to it aesthetically and I wasn't all that impressed it sonically. I can... | |
Building your own HiFI rack (hasn't been discussed in a while) Thanks, I hadn't heard of Part Express - I've just been been looking https://www.analogueseduction.net/isolation/analogue-studio-locking-m8-floor-spikes-set-of-4.htmlIt is the footing for bottom legs onto the floor that concerns me most | |
Please Help Me Build A System Under 6k!! What I meat to add is that I really wished I'd simply bought a P6 rather than upgrading a P3 until it sounded the way I had initially hoped it would sound. It would have been cheaper. | |
Please Help Me Build A System Under 6k!! I had the same budget and got Rega Elex-R, Rega P3+Exact+Neo+Groovetracer Reference Subplatter, Spendor A4. This mostly for listening to Jazz, Classical, and Singer/Songwriter - the A4's would not be a good choice for Rock.The Elex-R is design to... | |
Real world life expectancy of a high end cartridge? I love the way people argue rather than taking 5 minutes to check the facts readily available on line, e.g. Google for Walter Davies's patent on Stylast ... https://patents.google.com/patent/US5389281A/en As a funny coincidence the patents expir... | |
Music I would succumb to under torture @alexatpos congrats on finding Severina - Gas Gas - definitely one of the more inappropriate music videos I've seen since Blurred Lines. |
