| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor I send my wife to Europe to visit her family every year, while I stay here and work, she gets a beautiful vacation..... last summer , she came back to find my new 6' tall horns in the living room, along with some new tube gear. I think she complai... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green I consider JJ Cale ten times the bluesman Clapton is...... I just don't get this Clapton Blues god b.s., There are SO many Bluesmen who you can't even star to compare Clapton to.... it's like Calling Diana Krall an incredible Jazz singer. Give me ... | |
| Rothwell SUT & 103R I can tell you that Peter (the fellow who sells them) is a great guy to deal with, and would never steer you wrong, he lives here in Vancouver and I have done a lot of business with him, he is pretty knowledgeable when it comes to analog. My advic... | |
| Eastern Electric minimax phono vs. Hagerman Cornet I'm fairly certain I will be selling on my cinemags and seduction to make room for the minimax. Someone was saying that they felt the seduction was so close in performance to the mm that it wouldn't really be an upgrade per se, but I like the conv... | |
| phono pre amp giant killer? Hey andy! Good choice, you won't be disappointed! I have some nos tesla tubes, and some amperex holland orange print tubes. The amperex are magical in my setup. | |
| phono pre amp giant killer? Tbone, I'm looking for a step or two up in performance over the seduction as well as waf. I love the seduction, but I am ready to upgrade and I'm thinking minimax or cornet. | |
| phono pre amp giant killer? Paulfolbrecht, how would you say the seduction compares to a hagerman cornet or ee minimax? I have a seduction with c4s and mundorfs and I love it but I am looking for something with a touch more WAF and of course, better performance.... I posted ... | |
| Eastern Electric minimax phono vs. Hagerman Cornet Thanks for the input! I am really dead set on the Hagerman or the minimax, those are the two! I'm hoping to hear from someone who has actually owned, or at the very least heard both..... Anything to give me that 'push' in either direction.... Hear... | |
| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? Jwglista... I think you would have been better off with the dl 160, or 110, or a decent mm cart, the 103 really wants a step up..... I think there is a synergy inherent with step up transformers and LOMC's.... and this is what folks seem to 'rave'... | |
| What is "rich mans" DL-103? Why don't you send it to the soundsmith for a level 2 or level 3 cantilever upgrade? I sent in a 103 and a 103r and I am very, very happy. All of the strengths of the 103, and extra, air, and detail..... I mounted the 103, and haven't even bothere... | |
| Beatles Without George Martin? Just listen to the beatles 'Love'...... then decide if George Martin had a hand in the Beatles success or if he is worthy of the 'fifth beatle' status.I unashamedly LOVE the album. And yes, I think George Martin is a genius. | |
| More convinced of analog than ever I'll kick the dead horse just one more time...... Applebook makes some good points. And I am one of those who have yet to hear (in my system) CD's or Sacd's match vinyl for realism, immediacy, transparency, and so on. OTOH my digital front end isn... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II This stuff is so sad, I'm not going to name names (or rather 'nick'names) but the idea of grown men engaging in sniping, sideswipes, character assassination,and the like, over different types of turntables is truly pathetic. It is sad that the sit... | |
| Last song on most LP's pressed with compression Ha! I just went thru vinyl HELL!!! the humming, the buzzing, the wondering if my alignment was right, the wriggling in my seat, listening for hum, giving up on it all...... Finally cursing records, my stupid noisy (when it wants to be)! tube phono... | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. 'That is why for me yes, analog is annoying, over- populated and endorsed by terminal anal retentives and loonies but so worth it'As precise an encapsulation of the issue at hand as I've ever read!OTOH, you have to ultimately ask yourself if it's... |
