| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Firing blanks for sure. | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? It was painful viewing for me.... popular artists since WWII have until fairly recently included enough political musings, challenges and insights in their music that they did not have to lamely preach between sets. And yes, the whole circus was m... | |
| Looking for a Phono pre around 1K Musical Surroundings Phenomenon II sounds great if you have clean power in your house and knocked spots of 2 other phono stages I tried that are mentioned above. Brought everything out of my Dynaudio/Classe/MMF9.1 Lyra Argo based system. Good cabl... | |
| Best value record cleaner/cleaning system [Use carbon brush and zero stat before playing thereafter. All new sleeves and outer sleeves after cleaning.] | |
| Best value record cleaner/cleaning system I have used two methods so far - Spin clean and microfiber towels for drying works well, get more background noise out with a Record Doctor V after Spin Clean on very dirty records. Record Doctor V is less painful than spin clean if dealing with ... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? 1973-1987 - bought tapes and vinyl. Made many mixed tapes on Maxell chrome dioxide tapes.1987 - impulse bought Cure double cd and had no CD player. Sounded better than my cheap turntable. Was cheaper and portable in car.1987- 2015 bought thousa... | |
| MC cartridge input - Lyra Delos or AT Art9 (or higher AT) That is very helpful tablejockey - thank you. | |
| MC cartridge input - Lyra Delos or AT Art9 (or higher AT) Solid advice Matt, and that is certainly where I will go if my research shows AT is less accomplished for a similar rig, at the same or less price point. Just wondered if the economy of scale and advanced design claims could be what is causing so... | |
| MC cartridge input - Lyra Delos or AT Art9 (or higher AT) Thanks tablejockey. I had seen this and it was partly why I am interested in the ART9. I was just looking for any more direct comparisons for the well reviewed Delos, and the ART9 that has minimal coverage. I have not had a Lyra Clavis or any o... | |
| Clamp or Weight Suggestions for a MMF9.1 I have tried the Pro-Ject weight and that elevated the sound of some marginal recordings I have - details were clearer and bass tighter. Still more listening to do as time allows. A noticeable improvement so far. Thanks for the inputs. | |
| Clamp or Weight Suggestions for a MMF9.1 Tremendous - thanks for the inputs! I will experiment with these. | |
| Clamp or Weight Suggestions for a MMF9.1 I still enjoy using Audiogon and it has allowed me to get input and gear living in a typical wasteland for audio in the US - anywhere not near a big city. Keep it up AG! | |
| Clamp or Weight Suggestions for a MMF9.1 Audiogon appears to be more "Gon" than Audio these days - comparing the Views and Responses from 2 prior posts I made years ago. Admittedly, I asked that folks with the same or similar TTs weigh-in - but given the amount of similar TT's out there... | |
| Anyone replaced Fuse with Circuit Breaker? I went with the fuses and they added a sense of ease and increased musicality that was stunning - worth every penny. | |
| Anyone replaced Fuse with Circuit Breaker? Thanks for the very informative input so far. It seems the main stream audio designers go with fuses (cost savings and/or ease of export to the myriad voltages and resulting current ratings?) while a couple of designers and mod shops do promote th... |
