Kronos Pro Limited Production turntable review
January 16, 2016 Comments Off on Kronos Pro Limited Production turntable review
” Louis Desjardins is of no different than others, he is confident in his design and in the way he perceives musical playback. He has been an audiophile for many years, a collector of fine records, of vintage loudspeakers and has had exposure to reel to reel playback. Thus, he believes it vital that the energy stored in the music, may it be emotion, artistry, or soul, be projected out through the audio system and this has to start at its source, the turntable. He wants the musical playback experience to be as native and raw as the actual performance captured on the master tape. The list of what Louis seeks in an audio system can go on and on. I can assure you it’s not a short list. I can assure you that my list is not short either, being an audiophile traveling on this high end journey for so many years. I think you know where I am going with this … we are both fanatical about our hobby.”

Columbia House: ‘We’re home’. And it’s vinyl
January 3, 2016 Comments Off on Columbia House: ‘We’re home’. And it’s vinyl
” Reports of new vinyl pressing plants, vinyl sales numbers from the only important demographic, and lots more positive news have inspired recently bankrupted Columbia House to rise Phoenix-like from the ashes of cassettes and CDs (remember them from the 70s, 80s and early 90s?). An easy way to load up your music collection on the cheap, but tricky to cancel. Remembering that cutoff date and returning a monthly form was a pain in the ass. Most months, the lastest Cheap Trick CD cassette arrived because you couldn’t be arsed to send in the coupon.”

Audio Technica AT-LP5 Turntable Review
December 15, 2015 Comments Off on Audio Technica AT-LP5 Turntable Review
” The Audio Technica is a full size turntable that is built around a direct current motor that spins the platter via fixed connection. The advantages of this should be a level of pitch stability and accuracy that are challenges with belt drive. Equally, with the motor acting directly on the playing surface, any noise in this process risks being transmitted directly to the stylus of the cartridge. The reputation of direct drive as a home audio concept suffered from decks with cheap motors introducing audible rumble into the playback. As a direct deck, one immediate bonus of the design is that speed control is available via a switch rather than changing the position of a belt.”

WOULD YOU SPEND $100,000 ON A TURNTABLE?

” Where vinyl really starts to show off, however, is when you climb a few rungs up the ladder. Boutique branded turntables, bespoke tone-arm and phono cartridge choices, along with dedicated pre-amps, really do offer significant sonic benefits. You could expect to pay anywhere from $2500 to $20,000, with the benefit of being able to upgrade individual components as you go.”
