| BEST TURNTABLE AT COST NO OBJECT Gerrym5, correct! The Linn sounds really good, but no contest against the big dogs in this discussion. To tell you my personal experience, I have owned two Lynn's, The Rock, a Versa Dynamics, Gyrodeck (JA Michell), a Winn labs, two VPI's, two Basi... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Gerrym5. On EBAY, go to "Books, Movies, Music." Then before hitting search, click "Records" under "Music." When the search page comes up, click the box that says "search only in Music: Records." By starting this way, you don't get photo's or memor... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Bmpnyc, great story about the industry. Do you know Russ Burger from JPR, the design group for Sony/CBS. He and I used to work together when I was a rep for a bunch of audio lines some years ago. He too ran a Recording studio, and even did some wo... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Bmpnyc, I could not help but notice your comments about analog VS digital. I agree that digital will win in the end. But not for the reasons that you state. After all, there are more McDonald's than steak houses, and CD's are a perfect answer and ... | |
| Black Diamond Cones ADVICE No experience with the Rogue, so my comments are probably not needed. I still think (like Redkiwi) that there are too many things going on in a system to depend on one type of foot. I use the following: Simply Physics, Mod Squad Soft Shoes, Stainl... | |
| VINYL SURFACE NOISE If you have not used Record Research fluid to clean your LP's, you are in for a treat. I have tried all the fluids, and it is by far the best. As far as noise, all the comments are correct. You should not have that much problem with good, clean LP... | |
| Need Cable Advice Please!!! If you are without sound, make up a cable with Belden 8281, this is a precision video cable, and is a true 75 Ohms. You may find this hard to beat, even with expensive name brand cables, its certainly worth a try at $1.50 a foot. | |
| Black Diamond Cones ADVICE David, most of what is posted has covered my comments as well. I have a bunch of Black Diamond feet but no longer use them. I had two Black Diamond platforms, and sold them. The comments about Walker cones, I agree with, under some equipment, but ... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... I am pleased with the postings here. At least they are on the subject of music. Even a disagreeable posting at Audiogon beats the heck out of what's on my television in the front room. Carl has given me some hard words too, but we "fought" it over... | |
| Turntable Recommendations please. Bob went back to school to pursue higher education. I'm not sure what his plans are after that. I do all the photography for the lines represented by Musical Surroundings, including Aesthetix, Basis, Benz, Lukaschek, Graham. I do others too, but t... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? I have heard Jeff Rowland's amps, and for transistors they are one of the three best I have ever heard. The others being Griphon from Sweden, and FM Acoustics from Switzerland. I still prefer tubes, for the same reason I stated before. It after al... | |
| mac 67 mac71 yamaha ct 7000,marantz 20 . Boy is Pgbramsen@aol correct! I actually tried all those about three years ago in my attempt to find the "perfect" tuner (the Marantz 10B won!). One only other possibility, and actually is a near contender to the Marantz, was the big Fisher. I thi... | |
| DACS - Need Advice I agree with the Bel Canto suggestion, amazing sound for the dollar, however, they just took a big price increase, so not as good a deal as it was. Another choice that could be less expensive is the Audio Research DAC 120. It is several years old ... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? As long as all of us are touting our favorite poison here, I must confess, I am a tube guy all the way. One main reason that tubes sound more musical is that they don't "switch" on and off like transistors do, and when tube designs produce distort... | |
| Turntable Recommendations please. Carl, sometime you amaze me. I didn't know you knew about the Phonomena, much less heard it. I did the pictures of it that are currently being used. By the way, you are right about the sound of same. Pretty amazing for the VERY low price. I do thi... |
