vinyl

So - not quite yet another version of "is vinyl or CD better" - though it might sound like. Just more of an observation/ question/ rant etc. Recently upgraded my CD player from a Marantz CD6005 to a SA8005CD. Now, with the CD6005, SQ and general enjoyment I got from my records was overall...

Hello all, I've had some issues with the speed of my Ariston Q Deck and have solved the issue, so thought I'd post here if anyone has the same issue in the future. The turntable was spinning at 43.7rpm for 45rpm and 32.9 for 33.3rpm. Before you flip the turntable over, remember to remove the...

Hello everyone, I have just signed up here and am looking for advice. I am currently deciding between Dali Opticon 6 Mk2 and Wharfedale Evo 4.4 to listen to my extensive vinyl collection (mostly Metal). My set-up is Technics SL-1500C, Vincent Pho-701 and...

Hi, As I am looking at buying second hand I'm not sure that a HIFi would help.. so any advice here would be appreciated to at least get me in a right direction. Currently I have a pair of Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2's, an Arcam Alpha 7r, and my late Grandads 70's Audiotronic vinyl player (which I'm...

Hello! I'm still pretty new to vinyl even though i've been listening to vinyl for a couple of years, i just never took it seriously until now. currently i have an American Audio TTD-2400 which i understand is pretty bad. i got it as my first table as second hand. Now i want to increase my sound...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if it's possible to plug a subwoofer to the Rega IO since there's no LFE or SUB output. And if yes which one do you recommend and how do you do it ? I 've heard many things using Y connector and so on but this is confusing to me, I'm still pretty new to this. My...

Hi! Total newb here. First post. Here's the thing. I have a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 500 speakers, an Arcam S10 amp, and an Audio Technica LP5 with Ortofon Blue. I love it. But it lacks a punch. The bass falls short and not all music genres are delivering on my expectations. (I stay...

I was not sure which section of the Forum to post this topic on but here goes.... Is upgrading Hi-Fi equipment a dance of diminishing returns? By this I mean to realize a better sound, for say your vinyl then a decent amp and speakers are vital, but then there's the room; is it configured for...

Hey all, I want to record my vinyl (from my preamplifier) to my pc and i require an external audio card, I am looking for kinda cheap options since I dont want to spend too much money just yet, I found the Maya 22 usb model to suite my needs quite nicely, do you think its up for the task? Will...

Since *upgrading* my AV Receiver, my vinyl sounds flat and uninteresting. I used to have a Sony Strda2400es which had a phono stage built in and when listening to vinyl on my Audio Technica ATLP120xusb it sounded wonderful, rich and warm. I have apple tv 4k so made the big move to get a Sony...

I want to find a set of speakers for my computer, but something that can be used for a variety of things. For now, they'll serve mainly as my PC speakers, where I"ll play music through them, and play games occasionally. But, at some point in the future I want to buy a turntable to play records...

I am looking to upgrade a 20-year-old Project 2 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue, using Marantz PM 6010 OSE amp and Monitor Audio Bronze B2 speakers. I’m torn between either Project X2/Classic Evo and Rega Plannar 3/6 and having thought I’d get a Project, I’m now veering towards the Plannar 6...
