Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? So use the .5 meter cable instead of the 1.5 M one? | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? I know price does not always equal quality, but this cart works perfectly with the phono stage which has the load setting dialed in at 200ohms, precisely the carts recommended setting. | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Agree with cart being most important. I’m not looking to do anything there. I have a Van Den Hul one Special that I may need to get serviced within the next year. I got a great deal on it a while back and don’t think I can come close to its sound ... | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? So would you swap the 1.5 meter cord out for the .5 meter one? My cartridge output is on the high side for a MC, .65. | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Hey Chakster-should I worry about my 5’ or 1.5 meter interconnect going from my phono stage to my preamp? It’s a Kimber PB&J.Moving the boxes around and switching to a shorter Interconnect cable (which I have a .5 meter one of the same brand) ... | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Michelle- MM owners can certainly be audiophiles-they just choose to spend less on a cartridge. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this Is one area I think Is of universal Audiophile agreement. In general MCs sound better than MMs, just cost more and yo... | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Thanks so much Chakster. Sounds like it is an issue for long interconnects and Very special situations within the home audio context we discuss. There was another discussion about this and the guy had to have balanced ones.My turntable cable can’t... | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Separate question that I haven't been able to get answered in another discussion about phono stages (not sure why). What is the advantage of a balanced input or output for phono stages? Is that feature only available on very expensive models? Is t... | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Glupson said only an audiophile can be deluded into thinking directional wire and wire elevators work, but before that said they don't get sucked into that thinking. Which is it?French Fries is right on the money.Vonharaland - people come to PCA m... | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? You said only an audiophile deludes themself after saying they wouldn’t get sucked into directional wire or Cable elevators. | |
Looking for phono preamp suggestions bleeds - what are the advantages and at what output voltage range can it help most. Are these phono stages inherently more expensive? It never came up in any conversation when I was looking for my phono stage. I'm thinking it is high end - big $$ ... | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? You contradicted yourself saying an audiophile likes old equipment and tries to keep it if it sounds good to them, then you say audiophiles are tweakers who delude themselves with useless stuff (which is true much of the time). | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? "Accuse" you of being an Audiophile? I didn't know it was a crime. I think the older the gear that you know about and appreciate (and hopefully some new stuff), the more serious of an Audiophile you are. Same as with Porsches - the guys who know e... | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Why do you have 350 records? Since you admittedly don’t care about sound quality, I would not consider you an audiophile.Car or lack thereof has no impact. Probably are lots of audiophiles in NYC and other cities without cars. | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? We want as good as possible for a given amount of $$ investment. |
