Only under laboratory conditions.

At the risk of sounding like somebody's uncle -- vinyl, tubes and Sennheiser!

The Smiths -- The Queen Is Dead New Rhino vinyl.

I know everyone is like soo over the HD800 -- gag me with a JH13 -- but these puppies are wicked with a good analog source. That slightly clinical edge is perfectly set off by the more natural and energetic presentation you can get from vinyl. In fact, for the first time, I prefer listening to the Senns over the Quads. They grew balls, Dinny!

This matte black thing is taking off. Dusty, trend setter.

This for the win!

The Verve -- Urban Hymns Vinyl.

Happy Birthday. Buy tubes!

Rilo Kiley -- Under The Blacklight Vinyl.

And the computer audio thing blurs the line even further. I have more vinyl on the hard drive than in the record rack. Who cares as long as it sounds good!

I might re-acquire a Duet eventually and give that a shot.

On it, DOTU!

It's a Rega 600, with (I think) an OL rewire. The Origin paperwork was in the box although the seller never said anything about it. Cart is a high-output Benz Ace. The cantilever doesn't look quite straight, which is a bit of a bummer, but it tracks fine and sounds fine so I'm going to let it go.

Talking Heads -- Remain In Light Vinyl.

Holy bass slam, Batman! :prettyprincess:

Not before the 4G version, sez I.

Heh. I thought I was bad with two and jonesing to buy another. Spent the morning setting up the Gyro. Fun fun! Anyway, it runs and the speed looks good. Now for the fiddly bit with the cart...

Any new news on the Eddie Current PP? Wonder if they'll be anywhere near the same price bracket?

No arguments from me! Yello -- Essential

Amen, brother. Preach it!

OK to have one for non-specific vinyl discussions?
