| VPI 300 RPM vs 600 RPM Better? Ah, an old thread I found valuable! Figured I'd add my experiences here. I recently bought an Aries 1, all original stuff, in great working order. I absolutely loved it - sold my Clearaudio right away. A friend has an Aries 3, and he loaned me ... | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time I greatly enjoyed this discussion. I moved up to a Sussurro about a year ago, and it was a real revelation. Fun to think what a Hyperion could bring. But first, other aspects of my system will need some attention. | |
| Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening Hey hot stamper aficionados, I'm wondering which of your hot stampers give you the biggest improvement relative to your other copies of the same album. From my stack of hot stampers, it's Rumours (beats my Steve Hoffman 45), and Mingus Ah Um (bea... | |
| Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening tomic, I’m trying to parse all that. Sounds like you’re saying that to get a driver that acts like a piston (which minimizes coloration and distortion) you’ve got to drive it with a lot of power. And it sounds like you’re saying to make sure my am... | |
| Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening I'd like to hear from others on this matter, thecarpathian, but from what I've learned, it's about the quality of the signal. Along these lines, consider Nelson Pass's First Watt project: https://www.firstwatt.com I am guessing that dollar for do... | |
| Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening Oh wow those are great leads! Thanks millercarbon. | |
| Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening Those of you who enjoy Hot Stampers, I wonder if you use high-sensitivity speakers and low-powered amps? Or do you use the high-powered amp / low-efficiency speaker combination that seem to be more popular these days? I'm currently in the low-se... | |
| Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening millercarbon and brokenrecord, I agree about the covers! As a kid, I'd grip the cover while listening to the record. Sometimes reading the lyric sheet, sometimes just looking at the picture. Now, I find I'm doing that again. Vinyl is such a multis... | |
| Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening tzh21y, I really wish it was that simple! I'd have been able to save so much money. A couple times now I've directly compared a Better Records hot stamper to a similar/identical copy, in terms of the deadwax. The hot stamper bested it. I've even s... | |
| Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening Hi millercarbon! I saw your original thread, and I agreed with everything you said there, along with a few others. It helped me feel confident diving in to Better Records, so thank you for that. By the way, I posted a condensed version of this pos... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! My experience is pretty similar to Millercarbon's, and others here. I figured I'd share some of my thoughts. I posted this on another forum, but it got taken down pretty quickly ... go figure. Last summer, I came across an original mono pressing... |
