| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Amen. | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl There are bad records and bad CD's, and there are examples of both that are quite good. I have always believed that vinyl is superior just because of the way it's made......it's a real time recording of a musical performance whereas CD is is littl... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? aAberyclark A couple years ago there was some sort of hubbub over their assembly operation in China but I think it's been resolved. Jolida has changed their name to Black Ice according to their website. I have several of their products and have o... | |
| Where is great audio going? - Headphones and Mid-Cost Orpheus......Exactly. In the period of about 1965 to maybe 1985 high end audio was by no means out of reach for the serious audiophile. Not so today. Just as in anything else, there is a point of diminishing returns. I’m not convinced by gushing h... | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart Thank you, Peter. I wish you the same enjoyment. | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart Well, Lewm, I never asked to be "left alone" by stating that I have never had and will never have a dd table. The fact remains that (1) most tables are not dd. (2) they never had a majority share of the market. (3) a platter direct coupled to a mo... | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart I will take your word for that. | |
| Measuring impedance with multimeter I have never heard of a 12ohm speaker. Guess you need to get in touch with the mfgr. Good luck. | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? I got a Jolida tube integrated amplifier about 8 years ago after reading several good reviews. I've been satisfied with it and have had no problems. One of the things that finally convinced me to get it was the fact that there is no plastic on the... | |
| Where is great audio going? - Headphones and Mid-Cost Yeah, these days the system in their car is the best sound most people ever heard. Everything is downsized and portable now; convenience over quality. Also, I don't think very many people actually sit and listen to music anymore; it's more of a ba... | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K Watkins Gen4 is the best choice. | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart Well, guys, I’m not cutting new vinyl on my turntable; comparing how records are made to the pros and cons of belt vs dd is a strawman argument. I understand that dd is higher torque and more stable speed but higher torque is not necessarily neede... | |
| Looking for thoughts/opinions on tube seller's response to my question... Spencer, that tube was originally a 6SN7GT/G and the GT/A ant GT/B were later versions that were rated for higher plate watt and current. If you go to Brent Jessee Audiotubes you can find detailed descriptions of the different versions of these tu... | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart Peter, I have a speed controller for my table so I don’t have to move the belt when I want to play a 45RPM record; the controller has a three digit digital readout showing the speed. I will claim it’s as accurate as your motor that runs on 60 cycl... | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart The only advantage of direct drive is high torque and more stable speed. The extra vibration and noise from a direct drive turntable is why I would not have one. My turntable has one belt. Don’t know where you’ve been the past 40 years or so but y... |
