| Preamp questions for new vinyl fan It's going to be tough, if not impossible to find a tube preamp with a phonostage in the $500 ballpark.The Consonance is a nice unit, but is old enough to possibly need some maintenance. If you know the history of the Consonance or if you can see ... | |
| Room treatment These are very affordable and attractive panels usually hung at 1st reflection points, behind listening area, and sometimes in combination with bass traps...http://www.acoustimac.com/acoustic-panels/?pid=5&gclid=Cj0KEQjwlYqoBRDajuaTvsyq1PQBEiQ... | |
| Vinyl Record Cafe's Check out the TT and cart they're using and bring your back-up vinyl. (clean the pops out of them or you'll really have some splaining to do)."what are those noises? my ipod doesn't do that" | |
| Vinyl Record Cafe's Great way to go, as long as there is some music they're familiar with. If they're 20 some things, it's a tough call. | |
| Vinyl Record Cafe's And definitely don't bore them with tales about the old days of record cutting. :) | |
| Vinyl Record Cafe's I would hope that the younger generation who has only listened to MP3s on ipods or computer audio would be able to hear the difference.In a cafe setting like this where you play an LP for one of these youngsters, the SQ of the music should be evid... | |
| First Turntable Advice My 2 cents... good description by Pani; plus the cartridge will be a major impact on the sound.And as far as the Rega RP3 mentioned above, I think you will be very disappointed in this budget table when compared to the fine RP6 or the VPI Scout. | |

| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? The Sphinx is an entry level model, so I wonder if Mark would do any mods to it. With the Magnum models he upgrades the caps, power supply and adds cardas wiring.Food for thought. | |
| Equalizers - don't listen to the nay sayers Broadstone, how was the learning curve on the Behringer for an analogue guy? | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? Mapman, no contest between the Pharaoh and the Sphinx. The Pharaoh measures up to Rogue's high-end gear. You won't hear any complaints about hum passing thru the balance control. lol. | |
| SACD & other Formats More of the classical labels have become committed to Hybrid SACD, so they will be here for a while. As for rock/pop, we all know the cd is dying a slow death. | |
| SACD & other Formats Although I'm all-in with Redbook (ARC CD 3 mk II), it's been said by many members and reviewers that it's hard to find a standalone CD/SACD deck that plays both formats equally at high quality SQ. The one that is always recommended is the ModWrigh... | |
| SACD & other Formats The digital recording and mastering technology has improved to a much higher level since you were buying CDs (especially Redbook). However, there have been many negatives along the way; have you heard of the "Loudness Wars?" This came about due to... | |
| Rip or Copy? It seems that exactaudiocopy is for Windows only. JRiver and XLD are for Mac and easy to use.(I only found exactaudiocopy in beta test). |
