Bigalt: Reading (further) into your comment "and the sound it provides" makes me think that, you could provide all of us great insight on, (what I hope) are your further comments based on your (obvious) long history with analog, (specifically the ...

Bigalt: I think you, and maybe, only you, can appreciate the 3.5 platter/bearing and other mods I've done to my TT. Despite your pronouncement that you may not be able to hear nuances, I think you can at least appreciate your past history/vs/curre...

Ct0517: Bigalt's 8 tt's should not surprise you. I think it is more of a "I wish I was there" factor. ha ha. (Shhhhh... you are very, very close)

Bigalt: My hearing isn't like it once was either. The saving grace is.. even though humans' listening range doesn't go past 20Khz, an lp has the ability to go to 40khz. This can't be heard but can be experienced!!!!The once reported range of digit...

My personal experience with my and my friend's ET 2.5 is the lack of precision in manufacturing these parts. This is most likely the reason for his holding down the cost for so long.When I take my arm/housing off the post/arc block.. it is an issu...

Best Rock Album of 2015
Regarding My Morning Jacket & Death Cab For Cutie.. their latest' sound very good. My top pick right now for "best rock album" is DCFC. The differences in them as I see it, for sonics are:MMJ = an overall feeling that this is an album that get... 
Songs that Inspire or Move you
Mihorn:I'm referring to what I think should be our ultimate reference, live music. I've never come home from a live show and thought about hearing say, cymbals 10' high in a certain part of the stage etc... I'm not trying to degrade your system or... 
Extraordinary recordings on vinyl
...this may help...My definition of thin or sterile is not a lack of bass but a lack of "soul". This "soul" is the essence of music. To me it (is) the hard to explain (in words) factor that finds whatever is within us and somehow gels with what th... 
Extraordinary recordings on vinyl
Qdrone: I'm not familiar with the Bowie you referenced. I'm really not sure if you are agreeing with me now on the RO lp or making a stronger case? The artists I mentioned above, all have bass and none are sterile or uninvolving, IMO.I'm willing t...
