| Speaker Cables Audioquest type 4 is all you need. It has been on the Stereophile’s recommended component list since its inception. Also if the speakers have biwire terminals, I’d take advantage of it. It does make a difference, albeit small, but it is there. Buy... | |
| New turntable: TW or Obama? The pro-ject classic is a terrific value in a turntable, especially the sb model or evo. Read Fremer's review on it, it sounds great out of the box and looks good too. Upgrade the cartridge and it is outstanding. | |
| I must be old "if you want an accurate rendition of the actual recording"....BS! If the recording was an "Analog" recording, then the above is a ridiculous statement. The inherent surface noise on vinyl has "zero" to do with whether it is or is not an accurate ... | |
| Definitely lonely to be an audiophile Yup, alone time is best! | |
| Second opinions — how have others (including non-audiophiles) helped you? No one helps, because I do not need help. Plus, no one would be interested anyhow...... | |
| The myth of "best" in audio needs to be addressed by all of us Class A, Tannoy, a tubed phono stage, and vinyl "IS" the Best! 😁At least in my little itsy bitsy world..... | |
| AQ Blizzard or Thunder? No problems with my Thunder....pitch black back grounds. Using cable as is with dbs. Great cable. The x3 is also great for source components, using 3 of those. All plugged into my niagara 1200 which is plugged into my nrg Edison outlet. 12 gauge 2... | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong Just put the stylus in runout groove at end of record. Watch how the cartridge and stylus moves toward the spindle, it should be move smooth and steady toward spindle. Watch and see if it moves too slowly or too quickly. Too quickly, too much anti... | |
| Have I got the wrong amp? or the wrong speakers? The last thing those wharfedales should be is harsh on the ears....they are wharfedales and are usually a warm speaker. I'd buy the Rogue Sphinx v3 for those. | |
| Schiit Urd CD Transport vs Marantz CD6007 Player Marantz makes a darn good CD player. I have been using my Marantz hd cd1 as a transport for years. It sounds fantastic to my ears and has never skipped a beat. | |
| Possible cause of harsh mids? I’ve gone through this for years, realigning cartridges more times than I can remember. All this to no avail, as it is the pressing as stated. Some older records were played on cheap a$$ players without antiskating, hence it is mostly heard in the... | |
| Suddenly...one third of my tracks are 'unavailable' using Qobuz And this is exactly why I "buy" physical media. It will never disappear. CD', LP's, Cassettes...... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Screw klipsch, buy some Tannoys. | |
| Run length Why run a sub at all?? Are your speakers not good with bass? Ditch the speakers and the sub and buy speakers that do bass well. | |
| Low gain dac! Ugh, just buy a cheap musical fidelity v90 dac and be done with it. You are not going to notice much difference, it is a quality dac that sounds as good or better than dacs costing 1k or more. I like vinyl so the MF does it for me. At most I’d spe... |
