| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade davey, Thank you for complimenting my system. I presume you refer to the Sound Lab-based system. As you may know, I also have a pair of fully functional Beveridge 2SW speakers in my second system, augmented below 80Hz by a pair of TL woofers I b... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I guess this thread should be a discussion only including LP12 owners, who also do not own the Bedrock. | |
| Specific SUT with unusual case scenario question from a LOMC N00b Priceless advice is worth what you pay for it. | |
| Specific SUT with unusual case scenario question from a LOMC N00b I would suggest you try to listen without any SUT if your phono stage permits, before committing to a SUT. Too many of these discussions begin and end with the supposition that a SUT per se is beneficial to sonics. From what I read here, there is ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade newton-john. Of course I see the irony. Which is why I posted. But the title of the thread indicates that the Bedrock is the subject, which, unless I missed something, you also do not own. We have that much in common. Anyway, I hope you know I be... | |
| Unipivot tone arms Most modern (meaning brought to market within the last 10-20 years) unipivots are not really unipivots in the original sense of the term, because most manufacturers have modified their unipivot designs to reduce or eliminate their capacity to rota... | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? This list is still fairly parochial. Pianists. No one mentioned the very late very great Chick Corea, Hank Jones; the pianist who made the young Oscar Peterson cry (Art Tatum); the guy who alternates with Bill Evans as pianist on KOB (McCoy Tyner)... | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? I've got about 2500 jazz albums. I would wager that more than 2000 of them could be classified as "great". | |
| Record cleaning formula using Triton X-100 I totally agree with Antinn based on personal experience. When I finally adopted the practice of rinsing with distilled water after washing with the above concoction, I definitely heard an improvement compared to prior years when I did not rinse b... | |
| Re-tipping a press-fitted stylus tooblue, I bought the UNIverse with very low hours on it from Halcro, who is now departed but was a great guy. He owned at least two UNIs. I was motivated by the fact that I heard one on my neighbor's very high end system, and I thought it was fa... | |
| Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading? I don't think you can aurally separate a turntable from the tonearm/cartridge, or at least very few of us can, because you would have to take the same tonearm and cartridge en bloc and move them from turntable A to turntable B, and back to A, in o... | |
| Record cleaning formula using Triton X-100 I’d been using 20% IPA and about .01 to .05% TX100 for decades before the Wizz’s post. As you know he recommended other detergents and ethanol, not IPA. | |
| Re-tipping a press-fitted stylus Folks on audio forums might know which pros to ask. That was the crux of my question. Was thinking of Joseph Long, too, after posting. i could remove one of the constraints in my question; has any one had a press-fitted stylus replaced with a pre... | |
| Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading? I certainly posted a general answer. | |
| Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading? Building a system that gives you what YOU want out of the system is a long term project that results from first deciding what you like. That means developing the capacity to hear in your subconscious the way you want to hear it. Then you try out ... |
