| currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade You've got a nice system and you'll hear the benefits of an upgraded turntable/analog chain. However, the Scout is a high value product ( I had one for several years) and it sits in a sweet spot on the price/performance curve. IMO, going up the pe... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Holiday weekend entertainment! Let's chum the audio waters with troll bait and watch the frenzy! This should be real amusing thread by Sunday evening, | |
| What happened to Jfox Tvad, good to hear from you again, always appreciated your posts & perspective. | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Let's throw another hat in the ring of shame. I was watching a documentary last night about the rise and fall of the Clash. This is another band that a lot of critics fawn over. One of them said "The greatest three bands; The Beatles, the Stones, ... | |
| To remove the belt or not remove the belt that is the question Jameswei's got a good point. I imagine you're doing more harm than good by frequently stretching the belt to remove it from the pulley. | |
| To remove the belt or not remove the belt that is the question I try to take good care of my stuff but never felt the need to go that far. I don't think VPI is going away anytime soon, when you need a replacement belt they'll be there. Belts left on the turntable 24/7 last years in my experience. I suppose a ... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. I should kick myself for even weighing in on these never to be resolved contests over who's good/who's bad. That said, to say that Keith Richards, Ron Woods, and Mick Taylor are "bad musicians" makes me wonder what standards are being applied here... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Rolling Stones??? Just goes to show there's never going to be consensus regarding anything aesthetically subjective. | |
| Paint that helps diffuse sound? I'd love to know how a flat paint film could diffuse sound? Sounds like a case of a reporter unfamiliar with acoustics using the word diffuse when they meant dampen. There is sound absorbing or dampening paint. If there were a textured "diffusion"... | |
| Upgrading interconnects I'd agree with Bigshutterbug and Tls49, if you want the biggest return on the dollar to increase resolution in your two channel listening, upgrade the preamp first. A good preamp can transform the sound of your system. I wouldn't be surprised if y... | |
| Marantz service I had a Marantz Sa11S1 sacd/cd player that was rather problematic. I found the companies reliance on third party service vendors ending up leaving the consumer subject to poor repair service and long wait times. While in theory, multiple service c... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? I agree with you to a point Brownsfan, but all artists are a product of their times. Mapman's posited situation of Bach coming back or existing in our times is an entertaining amusement, but in reality old man Back could only exist in the the time... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I've worked for fifteen years in a college arts program with bright young people whose lives are devoted to the arts of all kinds and I've met very few who had interest in our audio passion. Jmcgrogan2's response is pretty much spot on in my opini... | |
| mold removal I wish this site would let you edit your posts after they're posted! What I meant to post was - Your desire to preserve the original sleeves is probably more trouble than it is worth. Gotta stop posting before the first cup of coffee has kicked in. | |
| mold removal You desire to preserve the original sleeves in probably more trouble than it is worth. You'll need to not only clean the sleeves for aesthetic reasons but also decontaminate and kill all the mold/mildew spores. Otherwise, the whole process starts ... |
