| The character of analog and digital +1 @david_ten I think many are looking for an absolute truth. To accept that they are different is to believe one or the other is ‘wrong’. People should get over that. I generally try to listen to music in its original source - at first. Then I ... | |

| How much is about the recording I always use spherical styli (Denon 103) for cuts with low dynamic range. Save the micro-line for the audiophile versions. There’s an analog solution for everything. | |
| Dedicated room suggestions The general rule of thumb is to use the short wall, unless the short wall is so short you can’t get a good equilateral triangle between yourself and the speakers. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? X-Ray Specs - Germfree Adolescents Tab Smith - Joy at the Savoy - Swedish Comp from the 80’s Emtidi - Saat - then I started digging through 45’s Silvia Moore - Summertime Mamie Thomas - Miss Good Blues - and 78’s Lionel Hampton - Slide Ham... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 I meant hum pots. Damn spell check “Hum balance pots are usually found with filament type tubes being operated off AC. AC on one pin is in opposite polarity of the other filament lead. The hum balance pot adjusts to a point where it cancels.... | |
| How far and wide? NSMT speaker placement Base reinforcement is one thing, soundstage is another. Low frequencies come out of the speakers in 360 degrees - so pulling the speakers out from the front wall allows the low frequencies breath behind the speakers and adds depth to the soundstag... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 I’m also interested in hearing feedback on the R300. Interesting to see dual mono rectifiers at this price. My gut is not to trust a directly hearted triode without him puts - unless they are there but not described. Hard to fault an amp if it sou... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Please - 1968-1969 | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? I think you hit the nail on the head in the original post and everybody has rolled right over it. There is a cost for rarity - and there is an economy of scale. That is a big part of costs. Paying for design, parts, quality and the living wages th... | |
| Speaker cable Electrical conductors sometimes use copper for the hot leg and aluminum for the neutral and / or ground . This is true when they pull raw wire through conduit and when they put terminals on receptacles. The aluminum is cheaper, has a higher meltin... | |
| Parity @rvpiano - I’ve been interested in the Feickert Volare for a while. Either that or a SOTA Saphire will likely end up being table #4. Curious as to what arm you used. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Not quite obscure anymore - thankfully - but at the time Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea Saw them at The Black Cat in DC around 98 when this first came out. Compared to their first album it was a departure and, initially, a bi... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? Until they come out with better testing equipment. | |
| COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO I was looking hard at this amp about a year ago. I ended up going with the Tektron. Between 300B’s, 2A3’s, and 45’s, I prefer the 45’s. Looks like a great deal - enjoy. |
