For Shure – The end of an era If you love tubes there is a good chance that you like vinyl as well. I fall into this category. I have been an Audio Technica cartridge fan since I first got into vinyl. I talk about getting into vinyl in my last post to the right.</p>
Vinyl vs. Digital — FIGHT!
Vinyl vs. Digital — FIGHT! About 10 years ago I got serious about vinyl. I started scouring craigslist and driving stupid amounts of distance to buy record collections. If the price was right my wife and I found the money and I went. It was fun and actually created an opportunity to start a small
Life Without a Remote – The preamp search starts!
Life Without a Remote – The preamp search starts! My system currently runs from a Primaluna Prologue 3 into a custom-made tube amp that will allow plenty of tubes to be rolled in. Currently, I’m using some =C= 6550 tubes that are special, and offer a great soundstage and low end that has the impact
