You could try using inner grooves to set it, then play, problems on last track persist? That will tell you something. Also, give... | |
| Listening Room bgross huh? when I first posted my virtual system, someone suggested I sell photos of my feet, not give them away free. guess they didn't look too closely, I've had 9 foot surgeries. one of the most comfortable chairs in the world is the La... | |
| Listening Room think flexible use: In your case, I would plan on how to temporarily move a chair where you want it, just for listening when alone, then back to please the wifey! You get the advantage of a multi-functional space. .................................. | |
| Leaving tube amps on. teach the children. turn them and everything else not in use OFF. It may not make a damn difference to you, but collectively it does, and it is environmentally irresponsible. | |
| ADD or Audiophile? A. Primary 2 Channel System. By myself, always selected content, always focused listening. Frequently Donna on the sofa, loves the music, doesn’t care about imaging. Occasionally focused/semi-focused listening with friends to content and/or equip... | |
| Phono Stage in inputs for 2 tonearms I don't know any, one option is to use a SUT with multiple inputs, alternate MC gain/impedance, and PASS for MM. Then go to a MM Phono stage or MM Input My SUT, Fidelity Research FRT-4 has 3 inputs and PASS, 4 xfactors/loads. Entre 100 also has... | |
| Planning a vintage setup KEF made a big splash when new, excellent finish and sound great, but I advise against them because of low sensitivity and too deep for ..... I always want efficient enough to more readily try tubes, now or future. | |

| Static on turntable OP said: "sounding quite great until recently. Recently ... wonderful." everything was fine, in his environment that did not change, thus it isn't the carpet or the way OP yanked his LPs out of the sleeves. the platter mat was fine, was in pla... | |

| what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps? Most Expensive, Nonsense, Are you only considering Solid State, or Tube Models? Tubes, the better question is, what tubes sound great 'to you' because it's not better, rather 'preferred'. My Luxman 10 wpc tube amp is terrific for efficient spea... | |
| slide in phono stage for Accuphase C-2450 preamplifier - is it any good? My Little Luxman SQ-N150 in my office has built-in Phono, MM and MC, sounds darn good, however, no gain or impedance options for MC input. I've only used it's MM for AT440ML. | |
| slide in phono stage for Accuphase C-2450 preamplifier - is it any good? think long, I suspect nearly everyone will recommend keeping your phono stage separate. also, thinking long, think both MM, MC, and optional gain and separate optional loading. Perhaps multiple inputs for two or 3 tonearms, and Pass for MM | |
