On Collecting Audio Gear and Music
February 9, 2017 Comments Off on On Collecting Audio Gear and Music
“Many of the older audiophiles I know still have large collections of gear and the software to play on that gear, with multiple copies of audiophile faves such as Dark Side of the Moon or Belafonte at Carnegie Hall. But how many is enough compared to too much? That is a tricky question – sometimes it comes down to the conditions of storage – If you still have room to keep everything properly (not resting on their sides underneath 100 LPS stacked on top of them) you are a collector, not a hoarder, I suppose.”

Shinola Runwell Turntable $2,500 Review
February 8, 2017 Comments Off on Shinola Runwell Turntable $2,500 Review
“The machined top plate of the turntable plinth reminds me of a vintage Thorens TD-124, both in color and feel. A massive aluminum platter, tonearm and light wood base (it’s also available in black) rounds out the package, complimented by the medium toned leather mat on top of the platter. I’ve seen plenty of ten thousand dollar turntables lacking this level of fit and finish.

Shinola Runwell Turntable Review
February 3, 2017 Comments Off on Shinola Runwell Turntable Review
“For those of you that haven’t been following the Shinola story, Mat Weisfeld, and his father Harry, the guys behind VPI have been very involved with the Shinola table, and this turntable shares a lot of visual as well as sonic DNA. Yet, this isn’t just a Camaro rebadged as a Firebird. On one level, the visual styling of the Runwell is a step above the basic VPI tables, with an overall look that is more reserved, yet more sophisticated than the VPI Classic Line. (And I say this as a happy owner of a Classic One and Two.) The Runwell is also more compact than the VPI tables, and even though these tables are brothers from the same father, they each have unique identities.”

“To that end, the French company claims the orbital bearing structure of the Omega 100 RIAA BT’s tone arm is ideally balanced for precision and accurate tracking – and on the nose it has attached an Ortofon OM10 cartridge, a staple in the past for many of our favourite turntables at this level.”
