| About your music collection Proving again that there are many ways to get to heaven, my approach to new music is the polar opposite of Baroque lover's! I have a continual need for new music and I'll try almost anything. The internet is a great resource for discovering new mu... | |
| How would you run an audio salon? Reminds of Richard Branson's reply when asked how to become a millionaire he quipped "Start with a billion dollars and buy an airline"! | |
| Review: Galibier Stelvio Turntable Mike,I had also a great time. I really enjoying sharing new music with friends. I went through my wife's LPs I can't find the Al DiMeola record...I'll have to find out about the CD. I just got the new Alejandro Escovedo, Menoma, James Hunter and R... | |
| Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? Stickman451,I have listened to the VPI's in a variety of systems and had the opportunity to directly compare against multiple turntables. My only opportunity to compare the Raven and VPI was at RMAF. Obviously not the ideal way to compare, but the... | |
| Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? Outlier,I have compared the TW Acustic to the Galibier and Teres (and many others). All three are excellent. It's not a question of better. It's really all about how each table matches your personal taste. To my mind, auditioning is critical prior... | |
| Review: Galibier Stelvio Turntable Tvad,One last thing I forgot to mention. The EquaRacks made the biggest improvement in the Andromeda CDP, followed by the preamp and lastly the amplifiers.Cheers, | |
| Review: Galibier Stelvio Turntable Tvad,I had already purchased the EquaRacks (which I believe have been discontinued) and the Grand Prix shelf in anticipation of a new vinyl rig.I initially used 3/4" thick acrylic for a turntable shelf on the EquaRack which didn't make much differ... | |
| Review: Galibier Stelvio Turntable Mike - Looking forward to getting together later this week. BTW, bring some vinyl if you want! Pictures will follow...Tvad - I could be speaking out of turn, but it was my impression that the set-up was included in the Stelvio price.Sorry, I omitt... | |
| Best jazz covers of rock songs Is there anything better than The Bad Plus' version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"? | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? I second anything by the Assad Brothers and Christopher Parkening. Another contender: Joscho Stephan "Django Forever". | |
| Your experience with Collectorz database...? Yellowstone,I've recently purchased and started using Collectorz. It is clearly easier to enter CD/DVD/SACD data when compared to vinyl. I have found a found a way around the data entry problem: I am paying my 13 year old son to enter the data. In... | |
| Recommendations For New Table/Arm Under $4k Dave,Sorry if my last post was confusing. Hopefully this will clarify. It has been my observation for the turntable brands I listed, that an owner is highly likely to stay within the brand if they decide to upgrade. For example, I know a new Galib... | |
| Recommendations For New Table/Arm Under $4k I would concur with previous advice. I am a new Galibier owner and can chat with you off-line regarding my experience (it was excellent). If you are willing to stretch your $4000 'limit', you might also consider the TW Acustic Raven or the Teres 2... | |
| Review: Aria WV5 XL (Line Stage only) Tube preamp Jafox,Wow! First let me commend you on your review. I enjoyed how you structured the piece by providing your background and then detailing your journey with the Aria. BTW, this type of writing is not easy and you are an excellent writer. This trul... | |
| Music Matters Blue notes Maybe I'm so used to the RVG piano sound that I find I am able to listen around it. I agree, the Mobley album is spectacular, even better than the 200 gm version. |
