Transrotor ZET 3 INFINITY Turntable Review
March 24, 2016 Comments Off on Transrotor ZET 3 INFINITY Turntable Review
” Vinyl is a wonderful music medium. It offers its own, unique in many ways, performance and a mechanical nature of its reproduction brings it closer to a human nature, human needs. It also easily comprehensible unlike digital form of music (that, in my opinion, might one day deliver even better sound quality, but not yet) is completely detached from us, humans, and from music.”
An audiophile’s conversion from vinyl to digital, then back again to loving LPs

” Mark now believes that the original recordings’ sound quality is more important than the format, and the quality of the mastering is more important than the release format. As he plays through his collection of old LPs he feels they were, for the most part, better recorded and mastered than most new albums. He also believes that most newly remastered high-resolution files don’t sound as good as the original LPs. He doesn’t blame high-res for that, he just thinks that tastes have changed. I agree, newly remastered albums are almost always more compressed and equalized to make them sound more “contemporary” than the older versions. Better sound is, as always, a matter of taste.”

HD vinyl records format is coming?
March 20, 2016 Comments Off on HD vinyl records format is coming?
“Imagine a vinyl record that has 30% more capacity, 30% greater volume, and double the audio fidelity of a typical LP sold today.
The ‘HD Vinyl’ name is a working title, though the basic idea is this: instead of the manual and time-consuming process currently used for creating vinyl LPs, the ‘HD Vinyl’ process involves 3D-based topographical mapping combined with laser inscription technology to more quickly generate a far superior product. Not only will the end product be vastly improved, but the time required to produce the LPs will also be radically reduced.”
SME Model 15/A Turntable Review

” The same goes for this SME. Without going into details one might just say that what it offers is a high quality performance, a very “honest” one. Spending more money will give us a richer sound, better definition in both range extremes and deeper soundstage. Soundstage will be also even more precise and there might be less noise from record’s groove. There will be some gain in sound volume, and one will enjoy even better impression of instruments texture.”
Dr. Feickert Analogue Firebird turntable Review
March 19, 2016 Comments Off on Dr. Feickert Analogue Firebird turntable Review
” So I ended up doing much of my listening with just the very familiar Kuzma 4Point mounted on the Firebird’s right armboard. Later, I managed to mount and use the Mørch and Reed arms—but in order to use the Reed on the left mount without it banging into the Mørch, I had to move the Mørch from its rest, then carefully lift the stylus of the cartridge mounted in the Reed over the widely spaced side weights of the Mørch. I was able to use both arms, but not easily.

Clearaudio introduces Double Matrix Professional Sonic record cleaner
March 12, 2016 Comments Off on Clearaudio introduces Double Matrix Professional Sonic record cleaner
” The Double Matrix expands on the company’s previous Matrix cleaners, it retains the double-sided vacuum cleaner, which cleans both sides of the record at the same time, but adds a new sonic component. Clearaudio says the new part uses sonic vibrations to loosen dirt from the grooves in a record, making it easier for the vacuum to suck up the undesirable detritus. ”
Pro-Ject PRIMARY THE ROLLING STONES EDITION
March 11, 2016 Comments Off on Pro-Ject PRIMARY THE ROLLING STONES EDITION
“Even those this is not particularly resolving turntable it still does clearly differentiate recordings by the quality of pressing, mastering and so on. I discovered some real gems among 45 rpm 12” maxi-singles I never thought any good of. Like on the 1987 Gdynia record that includes tracks by different rock bands from that city. The mixing and pressing of these recordings done in Radio Gdańsk Studio were really good. Sound is dense and incredibly analogue – it’s not done this way anymore! And surprise surprise – this inexpensive Pro-Ject was able to communicate all that in a very convincing way.”
Gold Note MEDITERRANEO REVIEW
March 11, 2016 Comments Off on Gold Note MEDITERRANEO REVIEW
“Maurizio’s turntable offers particularly enjoyable listening experience. Elements creating this impression are: a complete lack of brightness and harshness, a rich midrange and an inner richness of the sound that translates into sort of calm: calm or peace achieved via meditation and not castration (of dynamics and attack). Listener immediately focuses on midrange as this part of the range is most charming. Both range extremes are not so exposed compared to midrange, and lower should be more powerful. I confirmed that impression listening to Metallica’s Master of Puppets, the double 45 r.p.m. edition, AC/DC’s concert, or the latest Jean-Michel Jarre’s project. All these albums sounded good, I enjoyed them a lot even though I missed some more powerful, more immediate attack.”
