| Tubed Phono Preamp - Too many Choices! I owned a Precision Fidelity C7 (designed by Bruce Moore of Paragon and MFA). Wish I hadn't sold it! Bought it new from American Audiophile NYC back in '78. Cost $600. Superb SQ! Competitive with today's units costing multi-kilobucks! If you can f... | |
| Best LPs to Test Turntables And not to be overlooked: "1983, Moon Turn The Tides ..." from Hendrix's Electric Ladyland. Along with "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp". Jimi at his psychedelic best! | |
| Best LPs to Test Turntables I will add Quicksilver Messenger Service's Happy Trails - "Who Do You Love" - and the two instrumental tracks on side 2. Recorded live. John Cippolina was a phenomenal guitar player! | |
| Best LPs to Test Turntables I can recommend side 2 of Procul Harum's Shine On Brightly - "In Held Twas In I". A twenty-minute multi-section progrock suite! | |
| Best LPs to Test Turntables @pgaulke60 : All the Weather Report LPs can be found used on EBay. I only buy original (non-digital) pressings. I assume that their later post-1980 music was recorded and mastered digitally. So look for their earlier recordings! | |
| A comparison between two DACs, one R-2R, the other ES 9038-based. Spending money on a new device is a powerful incentive to believe that the new device is somehow "better". | |
| A comparison between two DACs, one R-2R, the other ES 9038-based. All well-designed CD players and DAC's measure essentially the same. The oddball ones that use tube output stages are of course subject to the higher levels of noise and distortion typical of tube circuitry. | |
| A comparison between two DACs, one R-2R, the other ES 9038-based. If DAC's really did sound different there would have to be some X factor that is responsible. Since the arrival of CD's and players in 1983, no such X factor has been identified. | |
| A comparison between two DACs, one R-2R, the other ES 9038-based. The proliferation of DAC's is a clever marketing ploy to get the insecure and gullible to spend more money. The same goes for IC's and power cords! | |
| Should I replace my Conrad Johnson PV-2 with a McIntosh C-28 I regret selling my C28. A fine example of vintage Mac! | |
| Best LPs to Test Turntables Lou Reed: Rock And Roll Animal (Heroin, Sweet Jane)! | |
| Best LPs to Test Turntables Stravinsky: The Firebird (Boulez and the NYP). Mahler: Symphony 1 (Ozawa/BSO) - last movement. St.Saens: Symphony 3 (Barenboim/CSO) - last movement! | |
| Best LPs to Test Turntables Weather Report: I Sing The Body Electric (The Unknown Soldier). Sweet Nighter (Boogie Woogie Waltz). | |
| Best LPs to Test Turntables Sheffield Labs direct-to-disc: Wagner, Prokofiev Romeo and Juliette, Thelma Houston. Spectacular dynamic range! | |
| need some help with Denon DL-103r OR Suggest a different cartridge 1. Get a Jelco tonearm. 2. Get a SUT (step up transformer). I have many years experience with Denon mc cartridges. At the moment have a 103R on the Pioneer PLX1000, used with a Denon SUT. Sounds just fine! This cartridge is capable of excellent SQ... |
