| Does anyone use white gloves to handle records? I used a laundered pair of brown cotton gloves for handling my LPs! Detective Monk would have approved! I'll have to get another pair (lost the first pair)! | |
| Muse Model 2 DAC The Muse DAC 2 is a fine unit and is worth restoration! Be sure to get a 75 ohm 1 meter (or longer) RCA-to-RCA cable to connect it to a CD/DVD player/transport. Canare makes a good one! | |
| Muse Model 2 DAC Throw that Prima Luna CD player in the trash! Go to EBay. You can find plenty of older CD players there for cheap and in still-working condition. Same for DVD players! They play CD's just fine and will work as a transport to connect to a DAC! | |
| Muse Model 2 DAC A fuse either works or it doesn't! There is no "half-way" point. Take that fuse out and hold it up to a light. Look inside. Is the wire within broken? If not, the fuse is still good. There should be lettering near the fuse holder indicating type: ... | |
| Denon DL 103 modifications and re-body questions thread @lewm : Read Mitchell Cotter's article in The Audio Critic (circa '77) where he lays out the case for the superiority of MC's and the SUT/active stage controversy. I owned his Verion P transformer and used it for years with the GAS Sleeping Beauty... | |
| Road to Hana - Best Audio CD ?????????????????????????????????????? | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? Check out the new Luxman L509x integrated! See the review in the May Stereophile! It might be what you are looking for! | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? What speakers do you own? And your source: analog or digital? | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Avoid new pressings made from digital files! NOT the same sound as original analog first pressings. I had the Led Zeppelin LP box set made from digital remasters. NG! Thumbs down! Couldn't stand to listen to it! | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @unreceivedogma : If the DL103 sounds so bad why has it remained in production since 1962? While many cartridges (both mm and mc) have become extinct! The marketplace sorts out the winners from the losers! How about those old-fashioned Ortofon SPU... | |
| Denon DL 103 modifications and re-body questions thread @dover : Thank you for your cogent explanation! My first encounter with a 103 was on a TOTL Denon DD TT with the 307 arm (1976). A Levinson JC-1 clone was used as a pre-preamp. SQ was phenomenal considering that this was a venerable cartridge desi... | |
| Getting close to giving up on CD's +1 bigjoe! I too value a nice collection of LPs, CDs and RTR tapes! Knowing the provenance of a recording is important! Something rather lacking with downloads and streaming! | |
| Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss? The Robert Grodinski Research (RGR) Model 4 preamp and Model 5 amp. Superior sounding products that can compete with today's expensive gear. I have both! | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. I have never had a system set up where the room adversely affected the SQ. But I like to listen closer to the speakers than most! | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. I will accept whatever the mastering quality is on the CD/LP/RTR. Trying to tweak the SQ with tone controls or equalizer never seems to yield a satisfactory result. |
