| How to soundproof my turntable? Can you give me the name of that company again? I need a door like that for the cellar where I stash the hitchikers that I pick up on I-5. Sometimes, their screams wake me up at night or interrupt my marathon listening sessions covering all of Wag... | |
| So where from here? If you are using the stock cartridge with the P1, you will find a nice upgrade by purchasing something a bit more ambitious. The Ortofon 2M Red or Blue, Clearaudio or Audio Technica cartridges would probably be worth a look. The better polish on t... | |
| Newbie Analog High Expectations?? BTW, the Rega P3 and P5 tables are in a completely different league from the Expression, both in performance, and cost. My advice is to go to the P3, at a minimum, and stretch for the P5 if you can. | |
| Newbie Analog High Expectations?? To answer your question, yes you could be disappointed with analog sound compared to the digital that you are used to. And much of this will have to do with your expectations. But let's take off our anal audiophile geek hats for a second and look ... | |
| How to fix a lack of bass Null Put the sub where your listening seat normally is, and play some bass heavy music. Put your head where the sub normally sits. Move around until you can hear clear bass. The sub belongs where you found the best bass to be. | |
| Looking for help on tube preamp Well, that should be plenty high, so it doesn't seem like an impedance mismatch is the issue. Contact Audiogon member trelja, he is the importer of the Consonance products. Joe is a great guy and will give you honest and forthright guidance on his... | |
| Looking for help on tube preamp What is the input impedance of your power amp? Tube preamps without cathode followers can have somewhat highish output impedances, which could cause the bass weakness that you are hearing. | |
| cable doubter no more It seems that we have strayed from the thread. Some more intemperate gushing regarding the virtues of cables would be more appropriate. And please, lets all use all capital letters and percentages in our posts to validate our dissimilar positions. | |
| I need an economical but good phono preamp? Even though I suggested the Cambridge, I would second an X-LP if you are buying used. Having owned both, I think that one, or the other, will have more appeal, however. The X-LP is richer, more liquid, softer and nicely dimensional. The 640P is a ... | |
| cable doubter no more I'm always amused by those that ascribe percentages to these things. Where do you guys buy those meters that tell you that an improvement is 18% or 20%? | |
| I need an economical but good phono preamp? The Cambridge Audio 640P is quite excellent and well within your price range. Do not cheap out and get the 540, it is not in the same league. | |
| Syrnix PU3 - Armlift Oh, by the by, it is spelled Syrinx. | |
| Who needs power cables anyway? Check your local electrical codes and have a warm heart-to-heart with your insurance agent before you have any more epiphanies. | |
| cable doubter no more There is nothing more tiresome than those who have recently been reunited with their religion, those that have recently renounced the evils of alcohol, cigarettes, drugs or sexual addictions, or those that have found cables to make a 20% improveme... | |
| What makes for a GOOD turntable. Hey, you nutjobs are right! I had an old Pioneer F-445 digital tuner in my garage and just got it out and hooked it up. Wow, what depth, what flow, whatever other audiophile descriptors come to your drug-addled mind. I gotta go; I'm dropping off a... |
