| Looking for a more solid-feeling turntable (and maybe a new preamp) Although I respect all opinions, I cant believe so many of you are suggesting older direct drive models. They really were pretty bad with lousy tonearms. To do direct drive properly is very expensive. | |
| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" I think some of you are thinking about this way too much! Why even differentiate? | |
| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" Well I think this is part of the problem with double blind and similar listening tests. Listening for a difference is the worst type of critical listening. Further, you know you are being tested so it changes the entire experience. | |
| Im going to regret my cable question Not at all. I assumed your amp was the Line Magnetic SET so I must have confused this with another thread. | |
| Im going to regret my cable question In looking again at your system I am not so certain that your amp has enough power for your speakers. I couldnt find specs on your speakers, but they look they would favor current. To compare my experience with steaksters, I found power condition... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? I havent listened to the Cure for years, but I always thought they were the best of the "Pretty In Pink" bands. | |
| Freya+ SE and Balanced outputs to your amp Interesting. | |
| Im going to regret my cable question And so speaks a person whose mind is made up without even listening. I thought the OP told you guys to stay away. I think you need a new term to replace "snake oil". I think it is safe to say, by now, that the majority of enthusiasts believe cable... | |
| Freya+ SE and Balanced outputs to your amp Well there is a difference between true differentially balanced and simple balanced outputs. The Schiit is not a true balanced unit and may actually sound worse than the SE outs depending upon the design. I guess I am not absolutely certain about ... | |
| Looking for a more solid-feeling turntable (and maybe a new preamp) If you get past a few thousand, Rega doesnt have much to offer. I own the top Merrill Williams table and couldnt be happier. I think Merrill makes a less expensive table which may be worth a look. I always thought the Helius tables/arms were very ... | |
| Jay's Audio Lab Visits GR Research's Listening Room My brother just built the Bully kits and they really arent very good to my ears. Decent bombast, but not particularly good in most other areas. I do not like the servo powered woofer sound. Even at the kit price not a very good bargain. Fairly eas... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? I love Tom Waits and Captain Beefheart. Also Reed and The Stooges. For me it is more about the band. Standout muscians, who often dominate the music, bore me. Could care less about politics. Doesnt even enter my mind. I really hate The Eagle... | |
| A question about tube rolling Much of the nirvana experience you describe has to do with the tubes used before the roll. Also I have noticed that certain families of new production tubes sound better than others. Used to be that the Russian 6922 family were horrible and even p... | |
| Ever heard Rockpile? Solo stuff and Rockpile are great. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Artists or bands? |
