The MOABs are scary. Not going to lie.

Oh my...

Nice bass boost eh?

Oh wow! Just PM me and I'll pay for the shipping. Don't need a lot, just a few...so... @kve777...your 'pile' has me concerned...😂

Cool! I'm just looking for stuff like dups or whatever. Like a 'starter kit' of old (ish) and perhaps unusual stuff to play. I will give them back if you want them back at some point. Some LP's I'd be willing to purchase, if a good offer is made. Thank you so much!!!! I have a Thorens TD115 mkII I'm working on.

Anyone got some spare LP's? Doesn't really matter what music or artist it is. Just looking for a few to add to my...not so distinguished collection right now.

As Kevin suggested, please start a topic about your experience and we'll go from there. It encourages more participation anyway!

Faulty - Hidden (House, cool vibe)

Where DeadMou5 got his inspiration... Windsor/Detroit rave scene.

For those that may not know, @SteveFord is an ORIGINAL Carversite member. So don't mess with him...he is your senior.

Diana Ross - Missing You (2:20 to 2:43 to 3:20 She is a goddess. In the fucking pocket man.)

Exiark [Morgsch] - Let the Sun Rise (Drumstep remix) Lots of bottom end on this one. Can your system handle it?

Bank Pain - This too shall pass

The music files haven't been uploaded to the server yet...

I used to have it in vinyl...but gave it away years ago. I agree with you... it's an excellent album. Underrated...just like Fair Warning.

Welcome! You sound like you'll fit right in here.

Welcome! Many great people to meet here and of course, they all have an opinion to share.

Welcome! We love projects!

At least on Amazon, there are remasters of VH II, WaCF, DD, FW and 1984. Also the Best of Both Worlds has remastered tracks.

@Daddyjt Did you happen to listen to the remastered versions? Also, Eddie hated the studio when they first started. He didn't know how to overdub or track his part without the band playing with him. SO I wonder how much of the band's disinterest in doing things 'right' in the studio muddied the outcome. Wasn't till later that he mastered the art of the studio gig.

If everything goes right - the Album will be accessible on the 'Now Playing' application for that week. Previous weeks will still be accessible by going to the 'Archive' folder in the player application. So everyone will be able to listen to the album of the week live, right here on the site.

Dirty Deeds is a ballad.

For most audio signals, this isn't an issue. But a Moving Coil's output is only 0.3mV, with a peak voltage of about 4mV with music dynamics, with a vast array of capacitances and inductances and impedances already inherent in the cartridge. So any cable capacitance will add to the low pass filter that already exists, and with such small voltages, the high gain stage of the phono preamp will amplify everything coming out of the cartridge/cable filter. As I said, this could be investigated technically, but it's complicated, very complicated. I would hate for listeners to be too worried about the cables, but at the same time totally neglect them. Suffice to say, it's important to realize that the sound 'quality' is not the same as the frequency response, in that, a high capacitive cable will cause some kind of intolerable distortion or compression of the dynamic range. There are many things to consider, but I think if we understand that the tweaks we are making for loading is to reach an acceptable frequency response, as opposed to trying to affect the overall quality, we can rest easy. An example of loading: Notice that the major differences exist starting at 8kHz-10kHz, and that some fairly major changes need to occur to make that much of a difference. So cable capacitance shouldn't be too much of a worry if you're using good ones.

This could be investigated technically, but it seems people are more inclined to the assessment of their ear. Properly understood, all the loading really does is adjust the frequency response of the TT output, particularly in the high frequency range above 10kHz. Setting the load resistance too high will cause a spike in high frequencies right before the 20kHz roll off. This will create a shrill sound. Setting too low will cause a gradual roll off at about 8-10kHz, which will sound muddy or muffled. Starting at 100ohms for the Denon means going up to 470ohms will have a very small effect, if at all. Going up to 47k ohms will have a major effect, as well as going down too far like 10 ohms. The Nelion phono board has a 150ohm setting, so that should suffice very well. At the very least a great starting point. Moreover, we shouldn't forget that most pre amp's have tone controls, and if ever there was a good use for them, TT cartridges would qualify exceedingly. So if some strange (or superstitious) reason one doesn't feel comfortable with the loading scheme, the very same effect of dialing the loading can be made much easier, and perhaps more satisfying to certainty, with the tone controls.
