| Review Almarro 318B Plangco:Where did you get the new speaker posts? Where they hard to install? | |
| Blue Note Lacquers, Mothers, & Stampers From what I know on this subject (which unfortunately is alot though I can't remember my wife's birthday) is that there is no mother/stamper/lacquer, etc. identifications. Please remember that BN pressed very few records by the Pop/Rock standards ... | |
| What are you using to clean LP album covers? Lysol disinfecting wipes for odors, etc.I also clean up glossy, laminated covers with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge. | |
| Rega P5 Benz Micro Glider, Ace, or Stay w/Exact? I have a P5 and all I listen to is 50-70s jazz. I would also recommend the Dynavector 20XH if that option exists for you. I have also heard good things about the Benz. | |
| Good Sound Quality From 10 Inch Records? Nope.My experience is the material used on those 10" is different from the vinyl from the mid-50s onwards used on LPs.It seems much more brittle and easier to scratch, hence the poorer sound on average. | |
| Speaker Choice for Almarro 318B I have the 318B and just ordered a pair of the Hornshoppe Horns (www.hornshoppe.com). The price is $850 delivered from Ed Shilling who makes them.They have gotten good reviews on 6moons and other sites. Srajan at 6moons also thought the Horns and ... | |
| New Cart? Best all around performer...MM or HO I am running a Rega P5 with a Dyna 20XH and the Graham Slee Era Gold and am happy with it.The only comment I would have is that my CD player seems to play a little louder than the analog rig. Not necessarily sure why and doesn't make a difference.... | |
| I want more from my Rega P5 I am running the P5 with a Dynavector 20XH and a Graham Slee Era Gold phono preamp. This is my first vinyl rig, so I have no basis for comparison, but I am happy. I haven't checked out the TT PSU, but am interested in seeing if it significantly im... | |
| Tubes for Eastern Electric Minimax I posted this a while ago:Here are my limited thoughts on the tubes I tried:NOS Amperex 6922 PQ Gold Pin US Version White Lettering: Most expensive and the clear winner. Clean, detailed across the spectrum, great soundstage and depthAmperex Bugle ... | |
| Rega P25 vs VPI Scout I would have gotten the Scout had I not had 2 young kids. Instead I got the P5 which is a bit cheaper but has a real dustcover. The thought of my Dynavector 20X cart stuck in a glob of playdough was enough for me to leave my purism at the door for... | |
| Sound Quality of New Blue Note Jazz LP Reissues I would agree with Mlkiz's observation.I don't think it is limited to those BN reissues's either. The Columbia ones I picked up are thin sounding too. The vinyl was flimsy and thin, I think I could see my turntable platter through the spinning rec... | |
| battling the pops and clicks As a newbie getting into vinyl (just picked up a Rega P5 and a Dyna 20XH), I think that all the posting on this site and AA are very misleading regarding how "dead-quiet" everyone's vinyl is after using their RCMs (I also have a VPI 16.5) and spec... | |
| Good Quality Led Zepplin CD's do they even exist? $60 at yourmusic.com | |
| Eastern Electric Minimax CD Yes. I have had one know for several months and still enjoy it. Tube rolling adds another level above the stock version. | |
| Best budget $100 - 200 Phono Pre-amp? Graham Slee Gram Amp 2 Special Edition $199 right now on the 'Gon.Have heard/read very good things about it. Lists for $350 or so. |
