| Converting LP to digital. Advice please... You can buy a phono pre-amp with a usb output. I think Hagerman might make one. Pro-ject makes one, too. Audacity is a free software program to do the management of the uploaded data.Cheers.Tom | |
| Best Turntable/arm/cartridge system for $30k I'd recommend not taking a $30k plunge. Vinyl may not turn out to be your bag. It's the best format available for music (IMHO), but it is labor intensive compared to other formats. You might not care for all the cleaning, changing sides, mounting/... | |
| How many times do you play a CD/LP? It sure does make sense, Rubber. At least for pop/rock music which is comparatively simple music. There are great albums that I no longer wish to hear anymore because I've just heard them too many times. The first one that comes to mind is "So" by... | |
| VPI Rim Drive vs. belt drive sound files I was having speed stability issues with my VPI. The problem was that the belt on the circumference of the rim needed to seat itself properly after being installed. Once seated, stability got better, but was still not perfect due to the fact that ... | |
| man do I miss Tower records and Well, you probably are being a little too harsh. Each generation has a different value set from the next. Our parents didn't care for a lot of things about us. Being so sure that your values are the right ones is just ignorance or arrogance or bot... | |
| EAR 834P and gain Oh, ok! I had a feeling I was wrong in my initial assumption, because people often substitute 5751 tubes for 12AX7's. Thanks! | |

| Dynavector cartridge upgrade decision Referring to Raul's post... The tonearm is the single MOST important factor when choosing a cartridge. The weight and compliance of the cartridge have to match the effective mass of the tonearm. That's why you liked the Dynavector more than the Sh... | |
| Direct Drive or Belt I'd say buy records with the money you have left. The question you have to answer is whether you believe that motor noise or motor-induced vibration is affecting the quality of sound you are getting. A second question is whether the speed is stabl... | |
| Turntable upgrade or not ? Well, the Scoutmaster is a great turntable and reasonably priced. I think you might have to go quite a bit higher in price to substantially upgrade the table. You might consider sticking with the Scoutmaster and buying a Graham or Schroeder tonear... | |
| Mozart P. Conc 17 Ashkenazy Philharmonia Orch I also have the Decca set (mine is 10 CD's?), but you are right. Vladimir Ashkenazy is one of the best I've ever heard with the Mozart piano concerti. Rudolf Serkin is the only one I think I like better.Cheers. | |
| Which Classical Recording is Best? My advice is to hit the used record stores. Firstly because there is virtually no new classical music released on vinyl. Secondly, even if there were, it probably wouldn't sound as good as the old records. Thirdly, used classical titles are usuall... | |
| Record is noisier after cleaning: Actually, I use the brush supplied with the VPI 16.5 to clean the felt pads on the pickup tube. I also use it to clean my MoFi brush before I clean a record. It works really well. Cheers.Tom |
