you've got PMs ;)

I guess you should rename this thread to "fullbright's gratuitous post count inflator" stop it you muppet.

ahh stax.. how I missed you.. my srm1-mk2 died last september.. I took a while to deliberate whether it was worth sinking money into repairs or buying something that wasn't built 2 decades ago .. then this week I happened upon an auction for an srm-Xh with a Golden Reference Low Voltage psu...

wow, that song WAS awesome. early videos are so silly. "ok guys this is a real hot number, so... sit there barely tapping your heels for over half the song, then we'll just cut to you up and dancing for a while... aaaand roll credits"

oh my god I actually went and read the comments on the Popcaan videos and now I know why the world is falling apart. "When u listen popcaan and yuh check out other artiste song on the same riddim, you will realize popcaan just they on a whole other level, yuh thing up poppy" "the hurtful thing...

^^ LOL! now this I can get behind...

each recording takes you to a space you are right there with them... in a shack on stage.. ascending to heaven and becoming one with god

an autotuned dude with lyrics about p-ussy. my how the bar has lowered... or is this satire?

too many girls up in here rip soulman

does anyone want to do a repair service on my amp? i'll pay well ;D

thanks for replying.. I do remember a quiet mechanical buzzing coming from some caps in the amp for a while now but it wasnt audible in the signal.. guess they finally went. now putting my ear to the amp i hear more of a quiet tone than a buzzing coming from the electronics. when the incedent...

oh stax-fi-er's, I call for your help! today a terrible thing happened. I was listening to my SRM-1/mk2 = SR-404 ..and suddenly a smooth volume drop over a few seconds happened... now the sound is dirty and farty bass with weak volume in both channels...the drop is pretty significant, 2'oclock...

these guys are edm with soul youtube doesn't even do them justice... I have most of their vinyl

I'm still trying to work that out.. I'm new out here and don't have a car. I still have to see if I can borrow my friends.. but if not, I'm coming from beaverton and the earlier the better for me cause setup takes a little while.. I can't manage transit with my bag + a crate of vinyl

is it possible to reserve a spot off in the corner somewhere? my rig is rather open and delicate.. and yet also quite loud ;)

I am interested!! will need some table space for my stax vinyl rig..

looks like I will be moving across the country right around this time.. so unless someone wants to make an adventure of it and host me the night before.. (I'm coming from Traverse..) you'd get to hear vinylstax in a more ideal setting than the meet ;D

and yet here you are denying what I hear.. I've had stax for 13 years. I know exactly what a noise floor is.. ever even heard a nagaoka 555 with a lounge pre? I've tweaked the hum and rumble out of my debut, and that's with my amp at 2-3 o'clock..

yep just as I thought. learning is obsolete ;) the greatest hilarity of this thread is using the word love and rational in the same sentence perfection is ****** boring.. and also relative. its music you're trying to talk about here right?? vinyl will teach you pretty hardcore about physics...

well what are you listening to, the quality of silence? or the quality of music? if you think LPs can never be as quiet as a cd ... for actual human listening. you've not heard a good one yet. proper alignment takes skill almost nobody makes the time for. a manual car will l drive like **** if...

to think.. if lightning struck that building..! I will plan to make it to this Pleasant meet.. my rig is now something I am proud of :D

elbow - takeoff and landing of everything sound scientists at their peak

if I could find a good standalone recorder (any reccomendations? ) id show you the light. I laugh at anyone that spends over 500 on their vinyl rig.. (preamp included) stylus and transducer is everything. my setup is revealing enough that I hear tape pre-echo in many modern recordings, not...

that's a pretty stupid example.. you can do "better" 45 rpm remasters are the best sounding vinyl there is. higher physical resolution and they don't even use the inner grooves. what is your bias contributing to the OP exactly?

lmao, do you know how simply a needle is designed and works compared to... any digital rig? less components indeed... its a preference thing. don't really see how you can have a meaningful thread about it. my first 10 yrs of headfi were in digital, and I don't miss a thing. as an audiophile I...
