| higher end jazz vinyl: where to turn? Pregnant pause during conversation..."A shop vac with a modified crevice tool? Against these delicate vinyl platters?"After the shock wears off, allow the thought-experiment to continue. Where might one find or how to make a modified crevice tool?... | |
| The difinitive recording of AJA chill, brother. one needn't be all-knowing to know that $500 for a used mass market record that was a best-seller for years and years and is in no way a rare item IS a very high price indeed. one needn't be soaking in ressentiment (what Nietzsche ... | |
| higher end jazz vinyl: where to turn? Following up on Ghosthouse's suggestion above, does anyone have experience with KAB Electro Acoustic's EV-1.Their website says the product is Nitty Gritty type (Lexan top plate) with manual record turning attached to your own external home vacuum ... | |
| higher end jazz vinyl: where to turn? I wonder though about the record cleaning machines and quality-price ratio amidst an entry-level hifi setup like mine (rega p3-24, elys 2 cart, linn amp, vienna speakers, audioquest cables, cambridge audio 640p preamp). I worry about overkill (hav... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Listening to jazz on freshly cleaned lps. First, Pres and Teddy and Oscar (Verve reissue twofer). Lots of good music here worthy of close listening, but recording or pressing is thin sounding as one might expect of and 1952 and 1956 recordings. In... | |
| The difinitive recording of AJA I was just reflecting on this very question as I listened to an beat-down LP copy of AJA from 70s or 80s. I need some of the mid-range magic and punch of good vinyl, but where to turn with this oft re-released classic?I was eyeing the CISCO 180g v... | |
| higher end jazz vinyl: where to turn? Thanks for responses, folks! Lots of good food for thought here. And I can afford to do research. I am really struck by the general enthusiasm for record vacuum cleaners like the vpi 16.5, but I'm curious if there's a useful mid-point between thos... | |
| need advice for budget preamp for Rega p3-24... I'm tempted by the delicious idea to buy ALL of the competing phono preamps from Audio Advisor (or wherever) and then doing blind a/b/c/d/e/f listening comparisons--and sending all but one back as insufficiently warm, liquid, quiet, dimensional, e... | |
| need advice for budget preamp for Rega p3-24... Thanks, folks. So I've been researching all these suggestions--up to 14 now! Unfortunately, the chance to audition and compare them is negligible where I live. How frustrating. So I read up on these little boxes.I know grade inflation well as a te... | |
| need advice for budget preamp for Rega p3-24... Oh, thanks, thanks, for these ideas. I will research them. I should note that the Rega p3-24 has a MM cartridge (elys 2; would possibly upgrade to exact later). Any particular reasons why these recommended preamps hit the sweet spot at this (admit... | |
| Vintage Thorens turntable -Good or Bad? I've recently come upon the same model in a possible sale. The owner is asking $525 for the Thorens 126 mk ii in excellent condition. With a shure m97ex cartridge (not a pricey item, to say the least). Any thoughts on that? I would think this is a... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Great thread. I just bought a Rega Apollo and am using van der hul ICs to a Cambridge Audio 640R receiver then to Vienna Acoustic Mozart Grand speakers. But honestly I can't tell the difference between this and my much cheaper new Samsung bluray p... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System My hat is off to many of the writers in this thread: so informative from 2001 forward! I'm a total newbie and just bought a 100$ monster cable for my new tv but have no idea what cable is best for my new cambridge audio amp. Is there a recommended... |
