| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums +1 @hifiguy42 Absolutely love "Accidently Like a Martyr". @milo0812 "Night Train" is a great song and an equally great demonstration cut for percussion and high frequency response. Some really good tracks mentioned here--keep them coming. H... | |
| Which Cartridge Type and Value and best brand around 2000$ You need a high output MC or a MM/MI design—I’d say at least 2.5mv. | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k Daedalus owner here…some easy recommendations. LTA UL + integrated amp or Modwright KWA 100 + LS 100 which I just saw come up for sale here. I like the LTA better but both can be had at your price point and both are favored by Lou and other Daedal... | |
| Looking for Tonearm Advice/Suggestions I looked pretty hard at the Volare and I was going to put an OL Conqueror on it. I think any of the OL arms would be a homerun with that table but at least go up to the Encounter. | |
| Speaker Recommendations: Corner Placement Hey Guys—I appreciate the suggestions. I don’t think I’ve set myself up for success on this thread….there is only one corner and the entertainment center will be in it with the speakers on perpendicular walls on either side of the entertainment ce... | |
| Speaker Recommendations: Corner Placement Thanks for the suggestions so far. To clarify, there will be an entertainment center in the corner with the speakers on either side close to the back wall and therefore firing at 45 degree angles. I thought an omnidirectional speaker like the Ohms... | |
| Cadenza Bronze on a Fatboy It is normal for the Cadenza series and that’s why I would never own one. It is simply a poor design to have the heel ride so close to the playing surface when properly set up. Try playing a warped record at 45 rpm and see if it makes repeated con... | |
| Speaker recommendations wanted for Quicksilver M135 amplifiers I’ve always liked Proac with Quicksilvers. | |
| Something other than Harbeth SHL5 I had a pair of Harbeth C-7ES for many years and felt as you do—great speakers that needed to be goosed to achieve realistic dynamics. After a long search I ended up with Daedalus, which gave me the tonal realism of my C-7s but with better dynamic... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time Modern Country = Bad Rock n Roll + Twang | |
| Made in USA Trained historian and former high school teacher here…not sure why this thread has veered into this territory but I assigned Zinn to my AP US History students to provide a counter narrative to the assigned text (Blum). In today’s parlance Zinn wou... | |
| Do I buy an upscale TT? Once you get to a certain level of vinyl playback equipment it becomes more about flavor nuances and aesthetic appearance. Maybe better to ask yourself whether you are looking for a different flavor rather than “better performance”. | |
| Looking For 18awg Audiophile Power Cable Options I won’t weigh in on your rationale for wanting thinner wire for some of your gear but would suggest you reach out to Karl at Empirical Design. I have been using his higher gauge ED-316 PCs for years on my digital players and linestages and love th... | |
| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? Another thing I love about REM is how they end their songs—maybe some of the best endings of any rock band I can think of. | |
| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? @kb54 copy The Smiths they were working the same field but on the other side of the water—and they also had a great bass player. |
