| Record to break your lease. My version of Pines, Fountains and Feste is Muti's. But I think I prefer the Ancient Airs and Dances, Sinfonia Drammatica and Church Windows. | |
| Question for the older folks- did you ditch vinyl when cd arrived? I kept my LPs and never touched a CD until my wife bought me a CD player for Christmas in 1985. I had left my Garrard in the UK on moving to Canada and was making do with a Radio Shack turntable (I know, I should be shot). So soon enough, CD becam... | |
| Saving a MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE - Forums that use old and outdated software are very vulnerable to spammers, and that is why VE no longer accepts new accounts. Unfortunately, transferring thousands of posts from old to new forum software is sometimes impossible, requiring a specif... | |
| Posting photos? The Olympus has good in-body stabilisation, and it works in conjunction with the vibration reduction built into the lens. The photo was taken with the lens resting on the rail of my back deck. | |
| Posting photos? Even Canadians can do it: PS I never change the width or height, but let the forum adjust it itself. This chap passed through my pond a few weeks ago. Olympus EM1, MkII, Zuiko100-400, MC-20 teleconverter. That equivalent to a 1600mm lens on a ... | |
| What does "Warm" mean? When we had tone controls, 'warm' and 'bright' were easily defined by what you did with the bass and treble knobs. No one agrees on which is the best loudspeaker. But most everyone agrees the second best is the LS3/5a. That made me laugh. Pos... | |
| 1st Impression, Join the Forum? There are indeed many knowledgeable people here who are generally kind to those in need. We do see posts by dealers who do not always declare themselves as such, and we do have an international membership. It does mean that when English is not one... | |
| MM vs. MC: What Happens When People Jump Into MC Too Early? @pindac I can send you the whole Gramophone article if you like. It is entirely possible that the particular IV you own was luckily made with parts that would have passed the V quality control. Or perhaps the spring-applied VTF wasn't as nice to y... | |
| MM vs. MC: What Happens When People Jump Into MC Too Early? @rauliruegas You can still buy the damping trough kit for the IV, or at least you could two years ago when I enquired of my contact at SME. But they were £369 each. | |
| MM vs. MC: What Happens When People Jump Into MC Too Early? My understanding is that the IV (which came out after the V) is made with laxer tolerances. In other words, the parts that go into a V are carefully selected to ensure they are within strict tolerance limits. For a IV, the parts are simply taken o... | |
| New TOTL MC Cartridge from Ortofon...The MC Vertex @pindac The Kontrapunkt? | |
| MM vs. MC: What Happens When People Jump Into MC Too Early? @lewm I was indeed referring to the fact they are MI. But I expect I have a bit of a reputation as an MI-maniac, so I try to tone it down a little. | |
| MM vs. MC: What Happens When People Jump Into MC Too Early? The very good full Grado line are all moving magnet. Funny.. Ahem. You know what I'm going to say, don't you? | |
| Where do classical vinyl records get their rumble from? Can I ask for clarification - your title mentions rumble on classical records. Are there records, of any sort, without rumble? Because if there are, your turntable is not at fault. | |
