    CD vs vinyl playback

    I didn't read all the responses due to time is not on my side, despite what the Mick Jagger said! I would NEVER buy a vinyl record that was done by a modern musician because all they are doing is putting a digital recorded and digitally mixed unto vinyl, that does not magically convert the...

    What do I need to start ripping my vinyl to a Laptop

    I'm assuming you don't have a Bluetooth turntable, like me. There is a way of digitizing your records, and even cassettes if you have a receiver or a preamp type of system. Look into a product made by Behringer called U-Phono UFO202. Do a internet search and do a YouTube search FIRST to see...

    Room 101

    My pet is a lover, he loves me like crazy, as soon as he saw me when he came out behind the door at the pound he suddenly perked up and ran to me and plastered himself to my side, where he has remained 5 years later! I never knew a dog like this one. Even my wife was shocked that this dog did...

    Audiophile witch hunt or basic common sense?

    Actually I remember this stuff, and yes they did, and they still do because most analogue masters done back in the day sound like crap on CD because they try to clean up the sound and ruin it in the process.

    Vintage

    I bought a new 1976 Rotel RP1000 turntable on a end of the year sale price, can't recall what I paid, last cart I put on was a Empire TC400, added a Hudson HiFi Acrylic mat 3 years ago, and isolation pads about 10 years ago, and a Hudson HiFi 16 ounce weight about 2 years ago.

    Idddddd I didn't make myself very clear, sorry about that. Yes, speakers over the $3,000 price could benefit from a subwoofer depending on what you like to listen to, but in some types of music and movies where sub-frequencies are not being generated, there is no real benefit to a subwoofer...

    Sorry, my bad, the initials AR was suppose to be AE, thanks for catching that.

    Everyone hearing is different, so based on that I think the ARs are better sounding the Bronze, the AR's seem more articulate, with a clearer sound, the Bronze sound a bit boxed in and slightly muddy though not as muddy sounding as Klipsch at this price level. However both speakers would...

    Is the resurgence of vinyl LP's a fad?

    When they master a recording today they do it on digital, it is then mixed on a digital board, and transferred to a digital medium...CD, when they make a record from that same recording the vinyl gets the recording from a digital master mixed in digital format. Very few artists today are...

    Cassette Decks

    I agree with getting a high-quality used deck, then taking it to a shop and have it gone through. Most of these decks on the used market weren't used much, especially after CDs came out, so finding a mid-90s era deck will probably mean a lot less wear than one from before the 90s. Blank...

    Is the resurgence of vinyl LP's a fad?

    The problem with new vinyl recordings is that they are indeed taken from digital masters, so you're not gaining a damn thing, just buy the CD and forget it. However, due to the growing trend of vinyl modern recording artists are beginning to record 2 masters at the same time, one for digital...

    The bestest, smallest, budget bookshelf speakers?

    Kef Q150 is pretty decent for the money. Some people thought they were too bright, but others thought they were warm?? Everyone has different ears, best to try them first, you can usually listen to them for at least 30 days, but run them for about 12 hours a day for the first 6 days to get...

    Neil Young - Some suggestions please

    So far I haven't, I assure you. I'm not going to buy a record that only has 1, 2, or 3 songs on the entire album that I like, to me that's a waste of money. I've seen artists that put on a record and I only liked one song on the entire recording, after I did that a few times I have all but...
