| "Users of wide-range playback equipment should compensate for the RIAA curve" @richardbrand I don't know where you are (I guess A$ is Australia), but Boulder is an American product, and that's where I am. The retail price here for the 1108 is $21,000. | |
| "Users of wide-range playback equipment should compensate for the RIAA curve" @richardbrand I have a Boulder 1108 phono-stage. | |
| "Users of wide-range playback equipment should compensate for the RIAA curve" I have a lot of mono reissues of albums from the 50s. Many have facsimile jackets with the same instruction to use the RIAA playback curve. It's true that just about anything cut since that period use RIAA equalization by default. The guidance to ... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation [Wood] vs Master Innovation Yes a double rack for the electronics and PSUs. This should put it all in perspective. | |
| Clearaudio Innovation [Wood] vs Master Innovation @lewm The silver box on the bottom shelf is the phono-stage, a Boulder 1108. The phono cable for the right tonearm is visible, hanging down from the bottom of it. The phono cable for the other tonearm is hidden just out of view, but it is attached... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation [Wood] vs Master Innovation @mgrif104 I think the upgrade from Wood to Master is a lot more significant than my previous upgrade from Ovation to Wood, and so it should be. The MI is a real beast though. 143 lbs fully laden with tonearms, record weight and outer ring. I hav... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation [Wood] vs Master Innovation As an update to this thread, I got my Innovation Master earlier this week. It's really pretty amazing, and not a disappointment in any aspect. The improvements are everything I expected. Lower noise floor, greater resolution of inner details, enha... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? I use Sleeve City 5mil and oversized 5mil outers for all my single, gatefold, and trifold jackets, and I have for years. I have some 5000 LPs (including many box sets that don't count towards the outer sleeved records). The outers take up extra sp... | |
| Rhino High-Fidelity record jackets Just got my Rhino High Fidelity Cars S/T in. Same problem as OP. They all have that problem. | |
| Rhino High-Fidelity record jackets The Rhino High Fidelity are really tight. One can always keep the sleeved record in the middle of the gatefold. The new ECM Luminescence series jackets have the same problem, and those have gatefold jackets too. I use 5mil outer sleeves on all my... | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? No, I just have a four-pack setup so far. I'm buying my dealers last demo pair, but the amp packs are at REL for repair. | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? AI claims that the correct stylus for these pressings is 0.7. Oh, brother. AI is a real FU mess. It gets many things wrong. It's worth using for research; however, "don't trust and verify first" is key to claiming as fact anything it has to say... | |
| fozgometer v2 @lewm Actually, the Foz works really pretty well, iff you make sure the test record sits perfectly flat. I had Acoustic Sounds send me a replacement of their test record – used for the Foz – that was dish warped, but I also use both a 750 gr reco... | |
| fozgometer v2 Over the years I've used mine often enough. Every time I change a tonearm or change a cartridge. I have the original (not a V2) I bought as an open-box special for $200 back in 2012. I've gotten good use out of it since. Maybe there's a local de... | |
| Was anyone else caught out by this? TechDAS is now taking orders for tonearm bases to mount this bad boy on an Air Force turntable. |
