| Vintage vinyl or new reissues? Interesting thread. As audiophiles the sound quality as opposed to performance quality is often a main concern and sometimes our primary concern. As I see it, the reissue market is a very healthy and positive development in that it frees us from t... | |
| Cartridge Wow... lots of reasonable responses to your question. As an owner of three Pro-Ject tables including the Expression 11 I would say that Viridian's advise is on the mark. The table is a little dark sounding particularly compared to a Rega. I starte... | |
| TETRA 120u Excellent speakers. No crossover to speak of (only a cap on the tweeter). The sound is best described as smooth and transparent. The port is on top of the speaker and makes for easy placement. The only question might be room size. They can be play... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? I echo Ben's sentiments. I have both the CD and the vinyl. The sound is certainly better on the LP. I only own the CD because my wife hates burned CD's. I don't give a rats ass if the mix is muddy or the LP was stored on a hard drive. The vinyl ce... | |
| Aimee Mann - Lost in Space Also own this this vinyl album and can honestly say I was underwhelmed by the sonics. I have a number of older 80's MOFI albums and the sonics are noticeably better. I have known at least two friends that purchased Patricia Barber albums recently ... | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have So we are now into the musical portion of the program. My ride is a Honda VTR 1000 sportbike which is just a clone of the basic Ducati design (same bore and stroke--but not the exotic valve arrangement). I used to be a Honda V-4 man and that beast... | |
| Rega P25 vs VPI Scout Won't be able to answer the question exactly since I do not have experience with the VPI Scout. I do however own a P-25 (recently acquired) for around 50% of its original price. I assume that given the two tables being examined, that the originato... | |
| Can anything beat Vintage Amps for the $$$? I agree that there are some great vintage amps out there and some can be had for a song. Some of the vintage Sony amps, particularly the Sony V-fet components of the early seventies sound silky smooth with awesome PRAT (pace-rhythm and timing). Ce... | |
| Newbie wants tube recommendations This is the way discussions about equipment should be conducted. Nobody here is attempting to influence Gssrjpc to buy a Jolida and in any event the point is now moot since he has taken the plunge. What he has received for starting this thread is ... | |
| Newbie wants tube recommendations Glad to hear that your new equipment has had a positive influence on your wife. It is important to note that to arrive at your present destination you went through the Jolida portal. If anything this proves that products like the Jolida have a use... | |
| Newbie wants tube recommendations I have a Jolida 502 B and it is fun and incredible value. I am tired of people suggesting that CJ or made in North America is better Other esoteric equipment with higher price tags may offer better bragging rights to some but to suggest that these... | |
| Prologue 2 Integrated Work Well With Axiom M80Tis? A bit taken aback by the rhetoric against the Prima Luna amp. Certainly one is entitled to speculate about politics and religion on any forum out there...... not so sure this is the best place to air such views unless of course the person posting ... | |
| NOS Ortofon VMS 30 MkII I use my NOS VMS 20 MK 2 on my Grace 707 which is a low mass tonearm, The 20 seems to be fairly high compliance so it really takes well to this tonearm. The cantilever has a fair bit of movement (as is typical for this cartridge) so it tracks very... | |
| Vinyl lovers--in case you haven't tried this yet I love this forum. Humour, sickness and knowledge all in the same paragraph. I was unaware why I so enjoyed vintage LP's that were done in mono. Now I feel pretty smug about having a mono switch on my line stage. I certainly cannot add much techni... | |
| Pro-Ject Xpression & Debut Modifictions....read Just when you think someone has finally developed a plug and play piece of kit and along comes Mattcecil to shake it up. Who says Rega owners have to have all the fun. I also own the Project 1 Expression and until now loved it for its elegant simp... |
