| Not Enjoying My Turntable @elizabeth Can't you read? The OP says he's not happy with the sound and he's wondering if an equalizer or troubleshooting with the turntable might fix his problems. I've merely suggested that fiddling with a $300 turntable is not going to bring h... | |
| Not Enjoying My Turntable @elizabeth I said no such thing. But if you think you can get 'audiophile' sound reproduction with a $300 turntable I would kindly suggest you put that vacuum cleaner on your ear and suck out whatever's stuck in there. | |
| Not Enjoying My Turntable I think we can all agree that playing vinyl records has become a 'cultural' fad. A sure sign it has entered the mainstream is the sheer number of tv commercials that are riddled with turntables. The 'climax' always seems to be that close up shot o... | |
| Micro Seiki BL-111, how good is it ? That would explain your ’issue’. Frankly, putting a Denon 301 (mkII I assume?) at the front end of an analog set up like this makes no sense to me at all. I don’t know the rest of the system they used for the demo, but the BL-111 / FR-64fx combo a... | |
| Vinyl reissue labels to avoid? I also agree with Syntax. Compared to the originals most reissue labels are a waste of time and money. Unless these originals are in the 'trophies for the rich' category.....I make an exception for the blue note reissues by Music Matters (both the... | |
| Micro Seiki BL-111, how good is it ? What cartridge? And what mat if any? A laidback attitude or 'mechanical' flow are not characteristics that I associate with the gunmetal Micro’s I’m familiar with, nor with the FR-64fx...... | |
| Micro Seiki BL-111, how good is it ? @bimasta,I have no experience with the SS-300, but several members here speak highly of it. I think they mostly use it with high torque DD's like Technics SP-10 and Victor TT-81.I did try the CU-180 with the BL-91's standard aluminium plateau and ... | |
| Micro Seiki BL-111, how good is it ? That’s a beauty! Unfortunately I never heard it, but I expect the BL-111 to be a good deal better than the BL-91. Why? Well, for one thing the BL-111 has a 10 kg gunmetal plateau as standard. The basic version of the BL-91 (and the RX-1500 for tha... | |
| MC suggestions @fourwnds I'm wondering how you loaded you Grado Statement Reference? The low output Statement series needs to be loaded at 47k, just like the high output Reference series. I hope I got that one right, as Grado surely has the most confusing nomenc... | |
| Any advice on buying quality vinyl @voiceofvinyl,I certainly don't have all the facts, but apparently the industry practice was either to send lacquers to foreign markets (used on location to press the discs) or to send second generation copies of the master tape and have the maste... | |
| Any advice on buying quality vinyl Those tube based recordings from the golden age of stereo are incredibly lifelike, no argument there. Less (technology) was more. But the mastering equipment had a limited frequency range, so records made in those days could not approach the sonic... | |
| Any advice on buying quality vinyl @voiceofvinyl,I must be one lucky fellow then. You made me go and play a number of my early LSC's and the background is just silent. For the record, I have cleaned all my classical records in three steps: Vinylzyme Gold, Quality Service cleaning f... | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? Rock is not dead, it just smells funny....... | |
| Any advice on buying quality vinyl @voiceofvinyl,I can appreciate your expertise as a veteran record dealer, but are you seriously suggesting that DGG is to be compared to Decca? It's a generally acknowledged fact that the vast majority of DGG records sound mediocre and dynamically... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Let's hope that in the end we're all crushed by the music...... |
