| What is your favorite budget audio component? sevs, it's Nak 682ZX. Studer project is in the future, I hope. | |
| Tchernov cables. Anyone knows anything about them? When I fired them up a few hours ago, among other things that I could easily identify right away there was something else, very nice, that I couldn't figure out immediately. So I thought - What's this ? Then it occured to me - distortion level is ... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? While recording from anything to tape some coloration is inevitably added but it's not the whole story and it's not necessarilly what is found pleasing. Tape recorder 'rearranges' the elements of the incoming signal and lays them down to tape. Thi... | |
| What is your favorite budget audio component? You guys go ahead and listen to all that stuff, I'd rather stick to my Grado phones and tape deck. We are talking about audiophile budget components not grandma budget components. | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? It doesn't matter who and what the OP is. For as long as we are talking analog not digital, it is fine | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? And if it was possible would we want it ?Ralph, I see. Not that I was thinking of 1/2" machine, the cost would be prohibitive, and yeah few titles. | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? Oh yes, it is much better to overfill with the oil than underfill. One bottle is good for five times, I think. It is recommended to change the oil once a year if you play it a lot and every 18 months if you don't. Besides getting small metal parti... | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? I don't know about the Shelter cartridge, but with my Goldring MM it took me some patience to set the anti-skate right. It was slightly better in one position with some music and slightly better in another with other music, but these were very sma... | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? Great. Yes, the Shelter is liked by many with Nottinghams. If you have questions regarding the set-up you might want to talk to Larry from Hollywood Sound, he knows Nottinghams and I think the only distributor/dealer in the US. He also likes MC ca... | |
| Tchernov cables. Anyone knows anything about them? It will be here today. My ritual with new cables is to put them for a few hours right away on the source I intend to use them with to see how they sound brand new, phono stage in this case, then I move them to the cd player to burn in, 230 hours r... | |
| What is your favorite budget audio component? And this is something that might be an ultimate bargain.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ8YIow9m2s&t=289s | |
| What is your favorite budget audio component? Yeah, I'd say Grado 225e headphones, $200. Not good enough for me but for youtube listening mostly okay.Next would be $5000 used previous generation Gryphon Diablo integrated amp with or without phono. Great value even if not exactly inexpensive. | |
| Tchernov cables. Anyone knows anything about them? Yup, Jim is there in Ontario.So I decided to keep the Classic MK II in any case. If the Reference MK II is much better I will keep it too, though by doing it I will use up all my upgrade allowance for the next year. In this case the Classic will g... | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? My approach is simple. I upgrade the cartridge last. For as long as I hear improvements while upgrading other elements of the chain I will not touch it. So, trust your hearing, be nice to your wallet and stay cool. When the time to upgrade comes, ... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Yeah, that's perhaps too much even for "extreme audiophiles", as Orpheus10 put it. But why not ?Ralph, which one sounds better, 1/2" four track or 1/4" two track ? Assuming 7 1/2 ips and 15 ips speeds. |
