| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth "Captain Fantastic, I really wanted the newer looking and much quieter sounding copy to sound better. But it was no contest. The noisy one that nevertheless sounds so much better goes back on the shelf. It really does sound good! I mean just amazi... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts fsmithjack-Your choice for another go around is a serious piece. Along with the Chinook, If it doesn't grab you, maybe your ears simply prefer digital perfection?If I were getting a top notch table like that, I would up the cart budget if possib... | |
| Unexpected Tom Petty "stamper" discovery I clearly remember gravitating towards the $3.69 sale bins,or going to the used stores for $1.00 or less, for current, hardly played albums.During the 70/80's, 7-8 dollars for an album was outrageous to me! | |
| Leather finish This will help getting opinions:http://hansenaudio.comAccording to the site, it's faux leather. Pleather. Based on its appearance, I'm guessing it has an M.S.R.P to match the "high end" vibe?Because of that, I say...FAIL. It should have real leath... | |
| FM vs. HD RADIO.... anybody think FM is better? After hearing a REL Precedent and Marantz10B in ideal conditions,I can't imagine HD being more convincing.Having not heard a home HD broadcast, I'm quite curious. I don't know if I could give up my humble Mac MR71, for a "modern" SS tuner. | |
| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth millercarbon-At least you can return it if it doesn't play as advertised.What grade is it...hot, super hot or WHITE HOT?Unless the copy you purchased hasn't been taken off the site, I see a super hot for $250. Considering an average copy will go f... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts "Sure they are new and no disrespect to Rega owners but not sure the Apheta 2 is the greatest cart either."fsmithjack-I think final opinion on the cart is premature , because you DIDN’T hear it through a tube phonostage. Doesn’t necessarily need t... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts fsmithjack-That system certainly wasn't entry level, although I personally would have gone tube phonostage.Still curious if you've heard a table based system you liked?20K worth of table,cart, and phonostage.No fancy cables and doodads, can sound... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need This has been an entertaining read.The thread title was enough to know what's coming...What kind of "relavent data" is necessary? What is a manufacturer expected to answer?5 pages of comment, and no real direction from the OP.Just subjective opin... | |
| Unexpected Tom Petty "stamper" discovery wlutke-I looked at my copy MCA 2015- DJ- 55.3cryptic stuff. Gold embossed on cover, has me thinking its some kind of promotional copy? I have many albums like that.Bases on what I posted earlier, TP's albums just aren't in demand. It's not a Beatl... | |

| Unexpected Tom Petty "stamper" discovery shadorne-Yes, just being anti-reissue, stamper geek while thinning the herd.Revised comments of SQ of TP's debut on the Shelter label. After playing side 2, it is maybe another notch below in sound quality. Still quiet, but doesn't have the impac... | |
| Where's the love for my RP-10 and Apheta 2? Stay off audiogon or any audio forums and listen to beautiful music. Toss the audio mags as well.Play with your room treatment while enjoying your clean records.With that setup, you won't need affirmation from a bunch of audio wackos!If you can't... | |
| Unexpected Tom Petty "stamper" discovery millercarbon-It is mind blowing and depressing to realize the "value" of our hard earned cash these days.I have a small stack of double/triple buys of albums from the cull.A DTT is in the pile. It is a later, MCA rainbow. Since you'll just have to... | |
| Unexpected Tom Petty "stamper" discovery millercarbon-I would be terribly conflicted,if I had to give up TP's debut or "Damn the Torpedoes.TP's music was caught up in the 80's MTV movement, and I thought that was the "jump the shark" period. Also, Rock radio was turning into what is now-... |
