| $$$ vs music enjoyment Zd542, if you take a loser look at our respective comments I think you will note that we are, actually, in agreement. I have a strong suspicion that when you refer to musicians you are referring to musicians in the pop or rock genre; musicians who... | |
| $$$ vs music enjoyment That there aren't musicians who are also audiophiles is a myth; that they "don't know that the high-end exists" is an even bigger myth. This notion keeps coming up time and again, and is completely false. Consider how many people in the general po... | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Wow, what a nice compliment; thanks. The Stax are very easy to move around, being considerably smaller than the Quads. Don't know if you have seen/read these, but you may find these links interesting:http://www.estatsolution.com/index.php?bod=7htt... | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Brownsfan, this thread got me thinking about returning to a project I started four (!) years ago and put aside. Sitting in my basement is a pair of MGIIIA'S that I used for about fifteen years until I lost the midrange sections on the panels due t... | |
| Weakest Link? Your honest opinions. Not very slik, Ric. | |
| New VPI Classic I vs. good used VPI HW-19 MkIV. In that case, I would take the HW19 MK4 without hesitation. The Graham is a very very good arm and IMO a much better arm than what is on the Classic. The Graham is also a good complement to the HW19's fullness of tone. I lived with a MK4 for a few... | |
| New VPI Classic I vs. good used VPI HW-19 MkIV. What arm on the HW19? Missing key fact for a recommendation. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ****Anyway they (my bones) certainly need some exercise. However I also discovered that my Glanz M5, AT 180, Signet 9 Cl, Stanton 981 and Glanz 31 L are better carts. That is to say 'better for my testes**** Apparently, one bone in particular ;-)R... | |
| What do you mean by "better" when it comes to cabl ****In other words, how does it become "better".****1. It becomes better if, IN YOUR SYSTEM, the resulting sound brings you closer to the sound of live music. It is popular to dismiss this concept; but at the end of the day, precisely because ther... | |
| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. Thanks for the kind words, Al. Regards. | |
| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. Dear Rower30, I thought that this issue had been put to rest; but, it seems that I struck a chord earlier since you have brought it up again. One of the things that I really like about this forum is the opportunity to exchange ideas. But, the pers... | |
| need an amp... Mswobo, don't let the jokes discourage you. My advise, which will cost you very little:-Don't change any major component yet. Sounds like you are relatively new to the audio hobby; this is a great opportunity to learn about some basics that will h... | |
| sleeving AudioNote tonearm wiring Dear Raul, that is not correct, the insulation on the AN 300 tonearm wire is multiple coats of polyurethane, not Teflon.Regards. | |
| sleeving AudioNote tonearm wiring Hi Anatoliy, I bought the Teflon tube, copper and polyester mesh from Michael Percy (Michaelpercy .com). Sending the wire through the tubing was tricky. What I did was to solder the preamp end of the twisted pair to one end of a piece of uninsulat... | |
| sleeving AudioNote tonearm wiring That is a great way to do it. I did something similar with my ET2 air bearing arm, although with this arm I kept the wire external the entire span. With this arm the wire needs to make a loop for free lateral movement of the arm. Up to that point,... |
