| list of speakers “But, but, but, what about [fill in the blank]!“ Only a few folks suggesting this so far. Kudos @grislybutter I enjoyed scrolling through this. Solid work. So far? | |
| Buying online, online searches and Scams oh my! One blueberry deal at a time over time adds up. | |
| Anyone See Downside to an Ionizer blowing on Turntable? I’ve had this in my cart for a few months now thinking it might work as well as if not better than some of the MUCH higher-priced options. Thoughts? And don’t suggest “increase humidity, DERP!” Increased humidity increases dust mites which incre... | |

| USB Digitil microscope advice Thanks for that, @dogberry After some fiddling and futzing around with my cell phone (Moto 5G power, $199 from the global jungle store) camera, lighting, trying to get 4cm from the needle with a Hudson HiFi VTA scale behind getting everything in... | |
| USB Digitil microscope advice @ketchup Seriously? I got exactly the same scope a few months back and this was the BEST I could get of all angles/lighting. Depth of field on the thing was about as deep as the point on your stylus. I’d BREATHE in the same cubic yard of spac... | |
| Lowest priced MC thats better than a Premium MM? I’ve been playing a Benz Micro Glider SL through first a Musical Surroundings Nova III phonostage, then a Quadratic MC-1 SUT (for reasons). For over a year now I’ve been enjoying its reproduction of sound. I bought mine through Kron out of HK som... | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? I have a Technics ST-9038 tuner I recently upgraded with better OPAMP, decoupling caps, MUSE bipolar coupling caps and it sounds better than ever. Just acquired a matching MICOM timer unit for it I’m reconditioning (it works after a fashion). I g... | |
| What to do with a large collection @rvpiano ”I have to decide if I want to sell in bulk or individually. It seems a shame to have forked over so much money and wind up with nothing.” Well, if you consider the hours, days, weeks spent searching for, buying, then listening to ... | |
| Hum in speakers, and suggestions for stopping it “pureclarity 12-30-2023 at 07:23am Start unplugging components and plug back in one at a time. Coax for cable, hdmi cables, and Ethernet and like mentioned power cords next to speaker cables all can send signal to a power amp to amplify it. It ... | |
| Why do people like reel to reel players? I have a box of RtR tapes (Couple hundred on various high-quality Maxell, BASF and other reels) my brother made from vinyl in the early-mid 1970’s. From LP’s I couldn’t afford now in mint condition. But that’s what the tapes sound like now, 50 yea... | |
| I found the best way to recycle my old tubes! Man this sent me on an innerwebs rabbit hole adventure… When I was a kid (about 9 to HS) I lived in St. Pete, Florida. My brother knew this guy — Tom Shuren — who was a record collector. Tom had something like 200,000 records, a nearly comple... | |
| High quality recordings any genre @larsman - thanks for the suggestion. I spent the evening going through my Miles Davis collection, playing several LPs including the one I mentioned. I’m not enamored of that one LP as much as I was in the past. While the song “All Blues” is still... | |
