| Dog pissed on speaker It's all your fault. If you had trained your dog to appreciate music, as I have, you wouldn't have had that problem: https://www.theaudioatticvinylsundays.com/ | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms I’ve been using the (legendary, so I’ve been told) Sumiko MMT since 1985. Just two weeks ago, I got lucky and found a NOS minty Jelco SA-750EB. Jelco made the MMT and this is essentially the same arm, but better, with newer improved bearings, it... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system “….I highly recommend getting rid of the cumbersome CDs when streaming…..” Cumbersome CDs? Good lord, their raison d’etre is convenience. I must be getting old. Like, really old. | |
| Do you trust your ears more than measurements? Measure once. Listen twice. Repeat. It’s the opposite of construction. | |
| Records and CDs Too each his own. That said …. - to my ears, analog sounds better than digital. For example: I was able to tell that the sound quality of MOFI had declined, but I did not know why until the controversy leaped out into the press. - I like the pro... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? I have been using for 39-46 years the following: - Altec Lansing 604Cs: 101db efficiency, 26 ohms. - NYAL Julius Futterman OTL3 monoblocs, converted to triode, about 135 watts each. theaudioatticvinylsundays.com/about | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms Others have already pointed this out and I may as well pile on: The sound of the tonearm is highly conditioned on matching, to the cartridge and imho also to the table. It’s trial and error. Better for many people to buy them from a dealer who h... | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... @stereo_buff Thank you for that. There’s at least some science in there, and it’s science I can understand and choose to agree or disagree with. It neither confirms nor disproves my view: it can make a difference, but is it an improvement and mo... | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... For the record, I am in no need of rationalisms masquerading as a public service. Let me elaborate. As many here know, I have been at this hobby for 55 years, since I built my Dynakit Stereo 70 when I was 14. Since then, I have had the opportun... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers @amtprod Not sure what it is exactly that I nailed but you are welcome! 🤗 🙏🏼 | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers @raam And some people believe there are tooth fairies. I prefer that which works for myself, so we agree on that much. I will not use that personal experience as a foundational edifice upon which to hang an Abdolutist Audio Ideology that I expe... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers “…But if you had the audio equipment and ears you would be a believer.…” This is the giveaway with Ozzy. He just wants to argue his superiority over everyone else. The scientific basis for his assertion is non-existent: his expectation is instead... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers “….Sorry, but your system looks like a beginner’s system. Like we all started out with. It may be good for home theater though….” Who exactly, is this directed at? You are sounding like a troll now. Why on earth did I respond to this thread? I ... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers I just got off the phone with my audio engineer. He has 40+ years experience in the industry. Besides building and repairing audio gear and guitar amps, he is also a recording engineer. He is also a guitarist and in the blues hall of fame. We w... | |
