Analog Software...Mobile Fidelity + Little Feat.

Analog Sources

Wasn't sure if this was an "Analog" or "Rock" forum thing, but...

Mobile Fidelity is going to release a re-master of Little Feat's first LP.

I never thought the sound quality was all that with the original, so I'm wondering how the Mo Fi re-issues will sound.

To keep this more in the "Analog" realm...

Anybody know what turntable/arm/cartridge they are using to evaluate their pressings?

Cable layout - Preamp - Amp - Speakers cable length

The Entry Level
Submitted by karijavi on

I've gotten lots of good advice re. my Spica TC-50s. I moved into my modest new house a year ago. The layout of my living room doesn't permit me to center the equipment between the speakers and my Kimber speaker cable is about 3 feet short of one speaker now that my equipment is offset from the speakers.

Here's the question:

Do you recommend a long run of ICs from the pre-amp to the amp, with a short run between the speakers, or do you recommend a longer run of speaker cable and just leave my amp connected to my pre-amp via my 1 meter pair of Kimber PBJs?

Since this comes up alot. Turntables under or near 1,000 dollars.

Hola,

As long as we have this cool Entry Level Forum, I thought I'd try to make a thread for a commonly asked question: Which "budget turntable?"

Since Stereophile can't review EVERY entry at this price point, I thought I'd start things out with a list of turntable at about that price point that I've heard, and maybe other people can add to it as a resource for future "new shoppers!"

I'll try to stick to tables with arms included for now...

Max Roach, R.I.P.

Max Roach, R.I.P.

I have a <I>Slate</I> <A HREF="http://www.slate.com/id/2172543/">column</A&gt; today, an appreciation of Max Roach, who died last week at age 83. (Sometimes my editors let me break away from war and peace, though I have one of those <A HREF="http://www.slate.com/id/2172634">columns</A&gt; today, too.) The headline writer has me calling Roach the “greatest drummer” in jazz. I think Billy Higgins was probably better, but I didn’t make a fuss. In any case, all great jazz drummers who came up after the mid-1940s, Higgins included, leaned or built on Max Roach’s innovations. Listen to the sound-clips that I link to in the column, and be sure to watch the YouTube clip toward the end. If you didn’t know before, you’ll see and hear what we’re all now missing.

Subwoofer Interconnect

Cables
Submitted by Elk on

I admit to being a semi-convinced skeptic when it comes to cables and interconnects; I can readily hear differences between cables and interconnects even though part of me does not want to admit that this is possible.

Yet, I am a holdout on the concept of special subwoofer interconnects. I have a nice flexible Monoprice RCA terminated interconnect that seems to do fine. But if this can be improved upon in an audible way I am interested.

Beatles and Stones MFSL Box

The Universal Pulse
Submitted by gpercy on

I am going to sell my Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab box sets ... "The Beatles" and "The Rolling Stones". The Beatles was played 3 times and the The Stones was played once for recording to tape. They were played on a SOTA vacuum turntable, but it's been too long for me to remember the tonearm and cartridge I had at the time. Is eBay the best place to sell these? And what would you say a fair market price would be?

Cheers,
Gerry
