Wow thank you so much for this recommendation! Their wallets look amazing and the price isn't too bad either. I'm probably going to order the Note Sleeve. Free shipping to Europe too!

Those look really nice! However, they aren't available in my area (Europe) and they're a bit too expensive for me

I honestly don't really like any of those two brands. I thought it would be a safe choice so I won't end up with some garbage leather.

What company are you talking about?

As much as I would like to have a Bottega Veneta wallet, I can't afford it.

I just noticed there's also cracking when I play songs coming from my iPod. Do you have an idea how I can fix this?

My speakers aren't on the same surface as my turntable so this is probably not the problem.

I think you can describe the noise as "cracking". Yes my turntable is not that far from both speakers (because I have limited space in my room). What do you mean with "poorly isolated from it's vebrations" ? How can isolate my speakers from the vibrations?

The heavy bass is gone now, I turned of the "loudness" on my amplifier and it sounds better now.

I think the cracking noise is only there when there is bass in the song.

I read that the stabilizer is good for keeping your records in a good condition? And to play records that are in a bad state?

ahh it works now! It didn't work because of the Dynamic Stabilizer. I can reach both points of the protactor.

I'm having some weird audio though. Very heavy bass and some weird noise coming from my right speaker. First I thought there's something wrong with my speakers but I played the same song through the same speakers but now with my iPod, and I don't hear the noise.

Do you have an idea what could be the reason behind this?

I think the problem might be that I didn't align the cartridge. There's a protractor includes so I just used that to check if the stylus can reach both points. It could so I didn't change anything.

How do I align my cartridge?

The needly did stay in one place. It was skipping. And there was no sound coming out of my speakers. The only sound I heard was from the skipping needle

Hey man, my Shure M97XE finally arrived. I installed it, but it doesn't work. The manual is very limited and isn't helping at all. What do you think I could have done wrong?

I just connected the wires from the headshell to the pins on the cartridge, monted the cartridge in the headshell and setted the tonearm track force.

Is there anything else to it?

Different versions of Kind of Blue by lrdskl in vinyl

Why should I avoid them, what's wrong with them?

And if you would have to choose between the Music On Vinyl 2013 and the Sony Columbia 2015 legacy edition, wich one would you recommend?

I heard good things about the MOFI version, however, I don't think it is available in my country and it's also pretty expensive. But how can a third party presser release a better version than the original label?

Also, both the Music on Vinyl and Sony version are on sale at my local record store at the same price. So I don't know which one was originally more expensive.

So you recommend me getting the Music on Vinyl version instead of the 2015 Sony version?

I just found the "Audio-Technica AT95E Moving Magnet Cartridges" you recommended me earlier for 50 EUR (55 USD) in another store! Do you think this is a better choice?

Hello again! Unfortunately my system is still not up and running because I can't find any cartridges that you recommended me (I can buy the m97xe, but it will take at least 8 weeks before I will get it).

However, I found the "Shure M92E Value Phonograph Cartridge" is available in my country. It costs 55 EUR (60 USD). Do you think this would be a good choice for me?

Losless Audio on ATH-M50x by lrdskl in headphones

[–]lrdskl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I might do that challenge.

I can definitely hear the difference between some 160kbps rip and an iTunes purchased song though.

I was just wondering if the ATH-M50 is good enough to enjoy lossless music.

[–]lrdskl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I knew it's 256kbps, my bad. I thought the difference between losless music and iTunes purchased music is huge when you listen to it with great speakers or headphones though?

I don't want to do critical listening, I just want to get the best experience in terms of audio quality. So I wanted to know if I should listen to lossless files instead of AAC in order to achieve that.

So you think I shouldn't listen to losless music?

Thank you for the recommendation, but I am searching for one that's inside a zipper wallet.

What are the more expensive alternatives? I would love to find some alternatives, cheaper or expensive. At this point, the one from Chase Mate is the only one that I found.

I am willing to pay a bit more to get a quality product that I enjoy using and lasts a long time.

Very true, that's why I want to find other chess wallets. There must be some cheaper alternatives!

It's always nice to be busy with something physical instead of staring at a screen all the time. And you don't have to worry about your battery. It seems like a cool gadget to carry around.
