| Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig... From my personal experience. Had MMF-5, my understanding Music Hall is sister company of Pro-ject using the same components, and was not impressed to say the least. Moved to Marantz TT15S2,by Clearaudio, very significant upgrade. Went through seve... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @benanders enlighten us then, how confirmation bias work. | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love Zu Cube speakers, the shrill of the Lowther Shout was unbearable. McIntosh MA6500, the ridiculously bad phono stage, not to mention the overall product quality (illumination bulbs, meters, screeching potentiometers). @artemus_5 the same here, I ... | |
| Help with Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grand I think it would be good idea to try different amp. However, if your Crown worked well with your other speakers...? Still, lack of synergy, maybe. | |
| Warped record I just received Crime Of The Century LP through Amazon, mastered for vinyl and cut by Ray Staff at Air Studios,180gr. Not only lots of loud pops and cracks, no visible scratches, but remastering is simply pitiful. Sound level lower by 5dB, yes I m... | |

| Which Vintage CD Player To Use As A Transport? No, it is not a good idea, based on my experience. I switched from Arcam 192 being used as a transport some time ago and the difference versus Cambridge CXC was enormous, since than I climbed the ladder higher, but this is different story. | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally Well, I have devoted today to ABC comparison in a serious way, I think. Here is what I found. CDs outperforming Staccato after all, mostly in soundstage region. My original assessment must have been due to being greatly surprised by how much bett... | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally @romanesq I was thinking to try optical connection between Staccato and Venus, but I thought, based on opinions I came across, that optical was inferior to high quality coax. Well, I will give it a try. What toslink cable do you use? This is one ... | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally @lalitk @jond I might give it a try, nothing to lose. |
