| Listening Just listen to music. I can't stand reading when music is on. I have to read in silence. I can't stand doing housework with music on either! I can listen to NPR though! | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge I use moving coil cartridges because they are immune to capacitance loading, same for Grado moving iron cartridges. | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge You can also experiment with the capacitance loading by using a phono cable with more or less capacitance. Moving magnet cartridges are quite sensitive to this in their high frequencies. I would try adding more capacitance. What is the capacitance... | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge Try lowering the back end of the cartridge. That will alter the high frequencies. Something I have done on Grado's. The VM740ML is an excellent mm cartridge! | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Back in 1978 you could buy a LP12 for $450 here in the USA. Even less in the UK! Ivor Tiefenbrunn was a clever marketeer and milked the hype about it during the onslaught of cheaper Jap direct drive turntables invading the UK. The LP12 is basicall... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable As to the idea that only a Linn specialist can properly adjust the LP12 that's nonsense! Just another money grab from Linn! It is no more complicated than the original AR - one of which I have from Vinyl Nirvana. Plus I have two Ariston RD11's - ... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable I have an older LP12 that I bought from an eBay seller in England. I paid less than $1K for it, including shipping - and no sales tax because this was seven years ago. It had a Grace 707 arm and a mm cartridge. The Grace arm is worth at least $300... | |
| 75 Ohm BNC cable You shouldn't shorten your digital cable. I read that the optimum length is 1.5 meters. As the cable gets shorter reflections can become a problem. I am using two different lengths: 1 meter and 1.5 meter. I started with the 1.5 but had to switch t... | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles These remind me of the Bozak Concert Grands, which had four 12" woofers, two 8" mids and four tweeters. They sounded fabulous! Go to the Stereophile archives to read a review. | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. I have a pair of Snell Type A's. They are designed to go flat against the wall and face straight out. They rate in the top category for sound. | |
| What would you save in a fire? My pair of Futterman H3aa OTL tube amps and the stereo Futterman Harvard Music H3 OTL tube amp. Then my two pairs of Quad 57’s. Third my Linn Sondek. | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! I refuse to stream. All my listening is to physical media that I have searched for and bought. | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! Quantity over quality. When music becomes almost free it becomes worthless! | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! Half a cent per stream is a miserable way to earn a living producing songs. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT The OP is overthinking this issue. Regarding DAC's: they as a category have been transparent to the signal for a long time. For a DAC to have a distinguishable "sound" it would have to be poorly designed. Practically all DAC's today are competentl... |
