| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? Adding to the many great suggestions… Definitely Chick Corea - Trilogy and Trilogy 2 live, and Chick Corea Akoustic Band Live are all great (Dave Weckl is crazy good on drums) If I remember correctly Chick wrote much of the music for Time Out? O... | |
| Got Hit With My First Tariff today Do you realize how ridiculous this post is? Whining about an extra $2.20 for an accessory or part for what is essentially a luxury item (hobby). And the Subaru sales guy: $8-$12K increase anytime now for cars made in the USA and Japan. Really? Cl... | |
| Advice on turntables Dr Feikert is in a different league than anything made by Pro-Ject. But you also need a great arm and cart to take full advantage at the blackbird level. Personally I’m on my second Clearaudio TT. | |
| Definitive Technology Mythos STS crapped out... worth repairing? Having owned the 'flagship' Mythos ST-L's, I'd move on. You can do way better, especially on the used market, and I think you'll realize the bass they produce isn't that musical / natural. (IMHO) | |
| Raven Audio Soniquil Cables: Misrepresented Build & Tarnishing Connectors? @devinplombier Pretty interesting how some folks are making all kinds of excuses for a manufacturer that, until proven otherwise, misrepresents its products. Here in the USA, folks are innocent until proven guilty. I based my favorable commen... | |
| Raven Audio Soniquil Cables: Misrepresented Build & Tarnishing Connectors? There are no indents - having owned an Osprey, having multiple, long conversations with Dave and James, and purchasing several NOS tubes from Dave, I find it hard to believe there was any intentional misleading going on, especially for a low dolla... | |
| Raven Audio Soniquil Cables: Misrepresented Build & Tarnishing Connectors? I own the same cables - I use them for my AVR and manually swap them with my 2 channel cables routinely so they get way more wear and tear than most - they are not tarnished at all. I don't really want to peel back the heat shrink to see how they ... | |
| Directional wires/cables I wouldn’t buy a cable based on whether it it was directional or not, but if it was, why not follow the manufacturers instructions? | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? Ain’t nothing wrong with being a 3! ...as long as we are all on the same scale, with 1 being super-awesome and 10 being not-even-close-to-awesome | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? I had to check...I listed mine: amp>speakers>sources with related cables etc. after components. Now I'm not sure if I should reorganize my VS to fit into options 1 or 2, or just agree I'm a 3? | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM? @mrkrichman No two people see Color the same Actually lots of people see color the same. 8% of males have a congenital color vision deficiency, but only 0.5% of females. Roughly 15% of the general population, regardless of gender have an acqu... | |
| DIY Spekon Cable For Rel Get these they can configure/terminate however you want, use genuine Neutrik connectors and in your budget delivered from the UK way better than stock https://www.designacable.com/rel-twincore-subwoofer-cable-for-dual-stereo-sub-setups.html | |
| Question about high current amps versus "not high current amps" How does any of this inform a future purchasing decision or help us enjoy what we have now? | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge I’m pretty sure JB means adjusting VTA or stylus rake angle. This won’t help. Regardless, you have a decent TT and a very good PS and a cheap cart. I’d be looking at something like a Hana ML as a starting point if I were you. | |
| RCA Interconnect recommendations Good suggestions above - personally I use Zavfino Fusion interconnects (DAC and PS) which I think are hard to beat for the price, but I love my Acoustic Zen Hologram II speaker cables, so at some point I may try the AZ interconnects, but I dont fe... |
