| ARC Ref150 or Aesthetix Atlas with Vandersteen 5A I changed from Pass Aleph 2 momoblocks to ARC VTM 200 monos several years ago and I really liked the tube warmth that I gained. And ARC hybrids are not known for having a full clasic tube warm sound. Also, the Aleph 2s were regarded as one of the ... | |
| Confusion Mike, Audiogon is is a great site for analog info and digital too up to a point.If I have questions on a something that falls into the HT catagory too, I go to AVS forum.I have no connection, just a user.Start here, and yeah the threads can get in... | |
| Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad? "Undercover" from 1983 just might edge out any other Stones lp that I have on the over all sound quality. It is not their best stuff but it is a clean recording that I enjoy. Used, one might find this cheap.While checking my other RS lps I saw tha... | |
| Who uses high end TT setup for vintage records ? What are the best recent Jazz releases. Looking for the best sound and performance. Hopefully its analog. For the most part my modest jazz collection was recorded 50 years ago. I would like some new stuff to compare it with. | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Rual, I admire your efforts. Having ben involved in venture capital (on a small scale) I think highly of anyone that has the balls to start a company or produce a product.I have known about Sheffield since the 80s but I will put B&K D2D on my ... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Atmasphere thank you, I kinda forgot about the direct to disk stuff. I will keep my eye open for that while searching through used vinyl.TD | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Rual, I want to be clear, when you say digital is better what digital are you talking about, CD? SACD? 96K/24? 192K/24bit? This is in the interest of learning.And your "electronics that have the capacity to shows the best of LP/analog the best of ... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Raul, if you recognize the "digital superiority" why not focus on a digital prouduct?I must say that want to be manufactures make some of the most interesting posts on audiogon. Its always a position of the expert but yet there is usually little t... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Mapman, I got back into vinyl 9 years ago because I feared that high res digital would evolve slowly. Which it has and not for technology reasons. Big record companies drag their feet because as you know they are afraid of unauthorized copies and ... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? One reason new releases dont sound as good is the compression that is put in during the mastering process.Here is a Rolling Stone article on it.http://web.archive.org/web/20080724194200/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/17777619/the_death_of_... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Yes I am recomending current music. I am over 50 so naturally my golden age stuff falls into the so called golden age of music. Perhaps even a little more so if I was 5 or so years older.To be straight up I am an old rocker. I like some jazz, coun... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Lets review red book CD for a second. At 44.1 K HZ you get 44 data points to define a 1K HZ wave that is about a foot long. Not exactly high res. At 10K HZ there are 4 data points, yes 4 to define a 360 degree wave. 4 points works for a square?Wit... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Its amazing that some out here holding them selfs to be experts can be exposed to have so little understanding of analog. I am not talking about Atmasphere! | |
| Is tonearm bias a compromise, maybe a myth? I use no anti skate with my zyx Universe. Info from posters here on Audiogon had much influance on trying none. I have tried it with the Triplanar with slight differences but nothing that I could say that I could dial in. With the Raven 10.5 I got... | |
| Highwater Sound Made two purchases in the last three of four years, an AC 1 and a Raven 10.5. I like Jeff's approach, he is easy to work with. And I like that he doesn't work the dark side. You know, taking the position of a know it all expert who is constantly d... |
