| Rega P25, would it sound better than my CDP? Sorry Agent, from your original post it sounded like all of this was new to you. It sounds like you are well on your way to discovering vinyl heaven.I also hate to point this out and embarass you, but wayyyyy is actually spelled waaaaaaaaaay :>) | |
| Buying used when you should have bought new... A dealer who only services what they sell is a jerk and a poor business person. Does he think you will return? If the dealer would not assist you then you should contact the manufacturer. You might not have a warranty but they are obligated to ser... | |
| Rega P25, would it sound better than my CDP? Agent193, listen carefully to Stylinlp's advice. You can't assess the difference between the 2 media on the basis of a few records played on a cartridge that isn't broken in and possibly improperly set up. I don't know about the others but LZ II i... | |
| Rega P25, would it sound better than my CDP? Repeat after me: "My name is Elizabeth and I am a Vinyl-holic."Mind telling us where your "local area" is so we can shop there too? I guess L.A.That is a lot of vinyl. If each record is 35 minutes long and you listened 4 hours a day it would take ... | |
| Can 5AR4 be replaced by 5U4G or 274B? Its really not odd that tube X can be universally substituted for Y and not the other way around. Tube X may be be able to handle more voltage or current than Y so it can deal with whatever Y had to handle, but Y can't handle what X can. However, ... | |
| The very best new/used under $3k for classical? I personally have found the Vandy 3A to be a very weak performer. Polite and inoffensive but falls way short of what the best has to offer. It sounds to me like it chokes off the music and is sluggish. It is the only speaker I've heard that actual... | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products Tarasando, I'm sorry, I don't follow your logic. Either my point was valid or it is not. Either getting a response on reliability from <20 people about a product that has sold in the multi thousands will help to determine the overall reliabilit... | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products I think whatever feedback you get here will be close to worthless. The satisfied owners who read this and have had no problems will defend their choices and tell you they are very reliable. Those who had problems and are disgruntled will say they ... | |
| Record shops in the Nashville Tn. area. I forgot Lawrence Records down on Broadway near Tubb's. All new sealed LP's and 45's. They haven't gotten a new record in years and what they have is pretty picked over, but I've gotten some good stuff there. Prices aren't great but OK for sealed ... | |
| Record shops in the Nashville Tn. area. Rossi's Record Room south of Nashville towards Franklin on Franklin Rd though it might be closed down.Interesting story: It was a father and son store, both of who were pro wrestlers back in the days before Monday night madness. I believe they eve... | |
| Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded Second some from Tom Russell. I'm not familiar with all his work but I have and really like "The Man From God Know's Where" and "Modern Art," very well recorded and good tunes, but "Hotwalker," while very interesting and a good listen, is more of ... | |
| What is the difference btwn dolby digital and dts? As usual, a google search (dolby digital dts) can answer many of your questions, but I will save you the trouble. http://www.timefordvd.com/tutorial/SurroundSound.shtml | |
| More newbie tube questions You are wise to read the manual and to be careful around fragile glass bottles wth high voltage inside, but the tube cage is designed to keep you from dropping things in and breaking the tubes and to keep small children and pets from falling in. R... | |
| 6moons review of FAB Audio Model 1 speaker Hi Larry, I think your premise is flawed. The only way to determine if a particular piece of gear is a good match for the rest of your components including your room is to do it at home. I suppose if you visit an audio show and find a room you lik... | |
| More newbie tube questions A 12AX7A is somehow enhanced from a 12AX7. In general a higher letter will work in an aplication designed for a lower letter but not always the other way. Unfortunately there is no standard for what the letters mean. It could be a higher voltage r... |
