I recently purchased a new Linn felt mat, because my previous felt mat was smaller than the platter (see pictures below). And in total, this is my third Linn felt mat. Fortunately, each new mat has sounded better than the previous felt mat. Previous felt mat, smaller than the platter: https://i.imgu...

I appreciate the input Charlie, and I'll be sure to look into this topic again.

Thanks

Sounding really good Tony. The dropbox title gave it away for me but I enjoyed both anyway. The Ekstatik deck is sounding particularly good. Thanks Charlie, I am very pleased with the Ekstatik cartridge, perhaps more than I had expected. It's certainly the best sounding Linn cartridge that I've eve...

As for the mat clips, GV1 sounds quite a lot better to me.

Good ear, that was the new Linn felt mat...

Hopefully this works correctly now... Greetings, After approximately five weeks, the Klimax Radikal 2 upgrade seems to be completely burned-in now. However the Ekstatik cartridge still hasn't completely burned-in yet, but it is sounding much better. So below are two music links, both are the same a...

Thank you Charlie,

Are you talking about the two different power supply and cartridge comparisons, or the two different Linn felt mat comparisons?

Brief playlist for this week: Al Stewart, "Year Of The Cat" an original release copy, 1976 Janus Records label. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91w-XaPkfqL._SL1500_.jpg Boz Scaggs, "Silk Degrees" an original release copy, 1976 Columbia Record label. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DRdZLcrQ...

Another item that was replaced on my LP12, was the Linn felt mat. The previous felt mat is much smaller than the platter, and a portion of the platter edge can be seen beyond the mat (see picture one below). The newer felt mat was a much better fit, and the platter is fully covered (see picture two ...

Absolutely... (+1)

The subject line of this topic (currently 'Two clips to compare') will change when I reveal what we're comparing. The reveal will be the 1st of February 2022.

A nice and elaborated review on Boazu has just been posted on PF: (thanks to Hans for the heads up) https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/boazu-integrated-amplifier/ That certainly is a nice review, especially since the Ongaku integrated amplifier is priced at $79,350.00 and the Bo...

Here's an interesting article regarding the difference between modern vinyl records, and older vinyl records.

https://vintagerock.com/the-difference- ... -old-ones/

There is no "like button" readily available, but there are some extensions that are possible to add. For instance one is called 'Thanks for posts' and another 'PostLove'. The question is whether the positive consequences of adding such a feature outweigh the negative ones. I am skeptical. Forum mem...

Received an original copy of the "Grand Funk We're an American Band" vinyl album as a gift, and it's in pristine condition (Capitol record label, 1973 and Todd Rundgren was the producer). Plus the cover is still in good condition, although not perfect. It's been even more enjoyable to play, since up...

In addition to an original copy of the "Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here" album, I have a half speed mastered copy as well. And needless to say, it's simply hideous. In fact it's the worst sounding half speed mastered album I've ever heard. I was going to give it away or sell it, but decided to keep ...

Glad you were able to resolve the issue, enjoy!

Cheers

Although not an original copy, it's still very musical and very enjoyable. "Merl Saunders, Jerry Garcia, John Kahn, Bill Vitt, Live at Keystone" (Fantasy Records label, July 1973).

Thank you Tom, Fredrik and Pete for your impressions, conclusions and suggestions. My impressions this week are that the performance of my Lenco has more ‘body’’ and i’m aware of more details too, all integral as a whole. It is like churchbells chiming during the day you ‘re not hearing or aware of...

I picked-up an original release of "Emerson Lake & Palmer Works" album - Volume 2, in mint condition and at a very good price as well (1977 Atlantic Recording Corporation). It is very musical, although not considered to be their most popular album. However, the song "I Believe In Father Christmas" i...

This might be the best sounding Moody Blues album (or one of their best) that I've heard. However, I haven't heard them all either.

"Days of Future Passed Moody Blues" with the London Festival Orchestra, conducted by Peter Knight.

In spite of being a blue and red piece of vinyl, this particular Jimi Hendrix album is very musical. Apparently it's a first ever release on vinyl from a 1967 Olympia Theater live performance in Paris France. The album does weigh 150 grams, and is mastered by George Marino (Sony Music Entertainment)...

I was fortunate to find this album used but in mint condition, except for the cover which is a little worn. "Grace Slick & The Great Society - Collectors Item from the San Francisco Scene." Not only is this album musical, but it might be the best recording of her voice than any of the Jefferson Star...

Nice! You have some of his best albums there, enjoy! Agreed, that's a very nice collection indeed Springwood. I've been able to get most of my Neil Young albums used, in either excellent or mint condition for very low prices. Of course a few were purchased new, but they costed a lot more. Cheers
