| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @elliottbnewcombjr A quick search lead me to this Car & Driver article. I am sure you can find more articles around the benefits of using a higher octane. I was bit surprised to see the results for Ford F-150. https://www.caranddriver.com/f... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? “It’s not about the money, it’s about feeling like a sucker. ” @elliottbnewcombjr It’s all about the perspective under given conditions. You can buy a 10 year old used BMW and fill it up with cheapest gas and not feel like a sucker. Would you... | |
| Accuphase e5000 and EQUI=TECH I have my Accuphase E-650 plugged into a balanced power transformer (Shindo Mr. T). I am using a pair of Mr, T’s, one for all source components and other one for E-650 + phonostage. To my ears, I prefer this configuration better than E-650 directl... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? “Are you concerned with aligning/calibrating an advanced stylus shape” @elliottbnewcombjr No, I have all the necessary tools and dealer support to ensure proper alignment and accuracy. I am still contemplating my options as far mono cartridges. ... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? “what a mine field the whole mono record business can be” @billstevenson You’re absolutely right! Fortunately, I don’t own any pre-60’s mono vinyl. I am aware of the grooves width on mono reissues, so I am considering to start with Miyajima Zero... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? “I have all of the above: true mono cartridges (Myajima and AT), bridged stereo to mono (Ortofon 2M Mono SE - personal fav), and a stereo switch (KAB). all work. @billstevenson Thank you for weighing in on mono vs stereo cartridges based on you... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance Indeed you did and I ordered the NOS Telefunken based on your initial suggestion but then I completely forgot about them….lol! @macg19 post reminded me that I had NOS Telefunken’s sitting in my closet. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @macg19 You’re welcome! Sorry to hear about the issue with left channel, hopefully you can get it repair easily. I really appreciate your feedback on tube rolling, I am still using stock JJ’s …the phono is now fully “broken-in” and I’m really en... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? @mulveling A# you know, Canterbury has that rich, tactile mid-bass and midrange that make it one of the most emotionally satisfying experience. IME, when a sub or pair of subs integrated carefully like my REL’s; they flesh out the much needed fo... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? ⬆️ It makes sense not to chase a specialized phono stage for just one anomaly, especially when the rest of your collection sounds great through RIAA. Thanks for your participation! | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? It’s just not the speakers, it’s sum of all parts. To highlight the tap on the snares—those crisp, delicate transients and subtle microdynamics—you’ll want speakers that excel in speed, resolution and transient accuracy. My Tannoy Canterbury’s w... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? “I don’t understand exactly what you are after” @lewm Let me try to clarify. You described how your UK EMI mono pressings of Ella & Louis sound “off” with RIAA EQ, while the US originals sound wonderful. I was just curious: have you ever ... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? “I’d say that in this case, everything hinges on the design and sound quality” @goofyfoot Exactly, the value of a two channel mono phono preamp comes down to design execution, sonic character, how it complements my system’s voicing and not some... | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! @zavato Congratulations on scoring a vintage TD124. I went back n forth between TD124 and Garrard 301….end with 301. Both great TT’s and while restoration can be PIA, the end result is well worth it. I am really enjoying tweaking my 301 to nth d... |
