| Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening Gotta say--after some good/bad experiences with Discogs--what a crap shoot--i went to Better Records--i've only bought 2--one Hot and one White Hot--and honestly i couldn't tell the difference between those two classifications but both were absolu... | |
| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? i agree it's not a serious question--"better sound" is in the ear of the beholder regardless of how they arrive at it, but i would think whichever of them is stoned gets the "better sound" | |
| Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!! If the intent here is to raise awareness in people who behave badly well, good luck with that--i've already seen in this thread that some of the worst offenders have no clue that this thread might just apply to them. It would seem that arrogance ... | |
| Dustcover Blues Mike--you say the bass frequency response is pretty much the same all along the TT shelf--is the bass response pretty much the same all along the left wall? or could you possibly slide the entire cabinet one way or the other to find a bass null a... | |
| What song have you played the most? Spanish Moon--Little Feat - Waiting For Colombus | |
| Returning to Vinyl @hickamore: Vinylengine is another good website with a database on TT's, tonearms and cartridges & specs | |
| Returning to Vinyl As some have said, not essential-just convenient; however, you don't need a machine if you follow this advice on record cleaning:Neil Antin's paper is thorough and evaluates all types of machines--but his process does not involve anything but easi... | |
| 8-Tracks and Open-Reels: Who’s Got ‘Em and Whatcha Got? @undefined: Who is the "independent record label that releases only on open reel tape" ? | |
| 8-Tracks and Open-Reels: Who’s Got ‘Em and Whatcha Got? If you recorded your own cassettes then yes, better than 8 track--but IMO prerecorded 8T better than most prerecorded cassettes mainly b/c of tape speed. I have cassettes recorded on Nak cr-4A which is still in my system but the tapes haven't rea... | |
| 8-Tracks and Open-Reels: Who’s Got ‘Em and Whatcha Got? @oldhvymec: Ahh the good old days when we could drink and fix anything--ok, maybe not well but make it work. Up until about 10 years ago i kept a Realistic 8 track player in my system just because i had a bunch of 8 track tapes i liked--i disag... | |
| RMAF is no more What !!!! Is there a link to this announcement? I can believe cancelled for this year but why would they just dump the whole thing for the future? And who's in charge of determining that ?! | |
| Everybody’s Top 5 - Vinyl @tomic601 Our lists have 3 in common--would be a tough choice but i might substitute Van Cliburn and the Chicago Symphony doing Tchaikovsky/Rachmaninoff and I would sub Brothers in Arms for Eva although lacking a female vocalist is tough | |
| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance @johnspain--I faced the same problem with a pair of Rockports and used casters under thick mdf just to move--they locked as jjss49 said--when i found the location they sounded best i removed the mdf with casters and put symposium acoustics platfor... | |
| What phono preamp are you using? Probably can't go wrong with any of them--i have the Herron purchased last year and Keith gave me a deal--call him | |
| Looking for a new phono preamp Hopefully Keith gave you a deal--he did for me 8 months ago and i couldn't be happier with the Herron--replaced a MS Phonomena II although i didn't have the linear power supply so perhaps didn't give it enough credit--disagree that the Herron does... |
