| Grado Gold versus Denon DL-160 ???? I have owned dozens of cartridges and the Denon 160 is without a doubt the king of budget cartridges. Has the PRAT of the Denon 103 but with more detail.It really likes a warmer sounding phono stage like the Pro-Ject tube box or the Rega Fono. Whi... | |
| More CD Player selection woes E.buzz. Like all things in life nothing is certain. I did my homework, stared at photo's of the inside of equipment I was interested in (thanks to 6moons) concluded the engineering and construction looked good. Perhaps I have been lucky so far but... | |
| More CD Player selection woes Trelja. Very sorry your experience with an inferior made Chinese product has clouded your perception of what is available for purchase by discerning audiophiles. Making sweeping generalizations (at best) or displaying a personal bias against produ... | |
| The Best Sounding Beatles CDs Buscis2Like you I really prefer the Parlophone Box for a vinyl listening session since I don't own many of the ultra rare original Parlophones. If forced into CD listening mode I always reach for the Japanese Parlophone CD's with the letters TOCP-... | |
| Best sounding Beatles albums I also prefer the Parlophone Blue Box. I have a number of the later Beatles on MFSL and initially they sound quite impressive. However I found that "the mix" seemed to differ a fair bit from the Parlophone set. The MFSL dynamics in particular are ... | |
| Setting antiskate on a Pro-ject arm TooterYou are correct that VTF and antiskating should match up.Easy to verify if you have a Rega table and RB 300 tonearm. Eyes and ears will work best in your case. Pretty sure you will end up on the middle notch which I believe covers the VTF ra... | |
| Brag About Your Vinyl Collection Pawlowsk6132"Miles Davis was a racist A-Hole". Will you just settle for a black man with attitude who just happened to be one of the greatest musicians EVER? I didn't think so. You are entitled to believe whatever you want. I just wish you would s... | |
| Setting antiskate on a Pro-ject arm TooterNarrods advise is okay. The sure fire way to find out is by placing the arm about half way over the record and then allow the needle to drop onto the record (use the cuing lever). It should drop straight down. If it drifts either way the ant... | |
| "Original Jazz Classics" Without a doubt the OJC catalog was the bargain of the century. Hundreds of great performances and a great price to boot. Ah the good old days (2 years ago) when they could be purchased for less than ten bucks. Then along comes Concorde Music Grou... | |
| Top ten tube preamps Wyetech Ruby. Where to find one you ask ?? Sonic Frontiers Line 3. Only in Canada, eh? Very cheeky Mark!! | |
| I want to talk to Wyetech Topaz's owners Congrats Stony40 on your Topaz purchase. It may be only 18 watts but it certainly kicks hard. Myself and a couple of friends spent the afternoon listening to the Topaz with the Opal pre and the sound quality was amazing. That 211 tube is Rogers fa... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Very interesting debate. For the most part conducted in a thoughtful and considered manner (not withstanding the usual sarcasm from he who must not be named). We can attempt to guess the future but that is a fools game best played by fools. Digita... | |
| Vintage vinyl or new reissues? EmenelYou make a very good point. The remastering of an original masterpiece can often lead to creative interpretation regarding the mastering and can change the "sonic character" of a great performance. I don't want to open up another can of worm... | |
| Vintage vinyl or new reissues? *This thread is not about price but about which, if executed properly, will deliver the best SONIC results.*Welcome back Verigo. Sure hope you have received an answer to your question. You have quoted my statement regarding sound quality as oppose... | |
| Should I Brush My Cartridge After Each Use? I second the Zerodust gob as the quickest and most importantly SAFE way to clean the stylus tip. I for one do not have the eyesight or manual dexterity to precisely vector in on that diamond nugget. Sittiing in the goo for approximately five secon... |
