| Tonearms: Ripoff? I clicked on this thread because I have a Sumiko MMT made by Jelco on my Oracle Alexandria and have been dreaming of an upgrade that will work within the specs imposed by my turntable. I was hoping for some informed, experience- based options. I... | |
| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? "Of course everyone’s perception will vary depending on what the album is playing through."True, dat. I guess that’s where things diverge from Peter’s points. It’s a lot easier and cheaper to get a decent CD playback system than a vinyl one. One c... | |
| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? Just to get the conversation back on point, I don't think the OP's intention was to open another debate on the superiority on one medium over all others or methods of recording, engineering, and mastering. Although I have really learned a lot fro... | |
| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? Red House, Mapleshade, and New West sell very well made CDs, although the artists are quite an eclectic group. Greg Brown's on Red House are especially good. I have not had the opportunity to compare the same releases on vinyl; but New West does v... | |
| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? Carly Simon's Anticipation sounds better on vinyl than MoFi SACD.I've got a supposedly audiophile Japanese import of Bobby Darin's "That's All". The "Mack The Knife" cut has a lot of over-modulation or some such gunk. The best version of the son... | |
| Zerostat Milty really? I need to discipline myself and just listen to music more. It sounds so good and makes me a better person. | |
| Zerostat Milty really? OK, I did a bit of an experiment this evening by rubbing a small piece of cellophane on my shirt, letting it cling to my hand and seeing how long several methods took to make the cellophane drop.I immediately discovered I was wrong about the polar... | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER @ranjanHmmm. Now that you mention K.D. Lang...... | |
| Zerostat Milty really? I am not a physicist, either; but I do have some training. Static charges are not always + or always -. The polarity varies depending ob the material's position in the Triboelectric series: https://www.alphalabinc.com/triboelectric-series/As we ca... | |
| Zerostat Milty really? I doubt that static on the underside affects sound or tracking until you turn the LP over and play it. It's just that it compounds the problem when it is played. A fellow neurotic advised me to de-stat both sides and the mat before each play. I am... | |
| Speakers for a very large room? I have a similar sized listening area. A bit shorter and smaller at 36'x24'x8 with concrete floor.I am using Canto Ergo 1002DCs. No sub. The front ported speakers are 20" off the wall and 108 " apart and I sit 96" back from the line connecting the... | |
| Zerostat Milty really? I will. I am thinking I can bastardize an old dust bug to make it safer. The dust bug creates static and causes more problems than it solves, even though it has a ground wire. I think using the ground wire with the electrode would be counterproduc... | |
| Zerostat Milty really? Each time I try a new method of cleaning my LPs I examine the stylus under a microscope after 2 sides and again after a few days. Pfan-stat passes the test and the Milty gun doesn't leave anything on the LP that is not sub-molecular.I judge these ... | |
| Zerostat Milty really? BTW, I just ordered those Thoriated welding electrodes suggested by @helomech . Only $13 shipped. Belt and suspenders.https://midwesttungsten.com/2-thoriated-1-16-x-7-red-wt20-tungsten-electrodes-10-pack/ | |
| Zerostat Milty really? I've tested the Milty and it works best for me if I turn it away from the turntable while squeezing and only point it at the LP during release. I believe that only sends the positive charge in the direction of the LP surface. The next time your ha... |
