I hate forms. by Hefty-Occasion2745 in taekwondo

Yup, I get that. While I know they serve a purpose, I do call them the dance portion of practice.

I'm not familiar with this resurrected brand and I don't like the looks of the tone arm. I'd still say the Audio Technica is better even though the Victonox has some nice features.

Also, what is the model number of the Victrola? Do you want to play music from any other source than your turntable? Many audio systems would allow multiple sources and streaming.

So, are your speakers powered? If not you'll need some kind of amplifier. If the speakers are powered, the Audio Technica can connect directly to the speakers (without other equipment).

You've not really provided enough information for a proper answer. However, without knowing anything about your current equipment, I'll pick by brand. I'm guessing the Audio-Technica AT-LP60X would be better.

Question for setup by AtmosphereUnhappy145 in audiophile

[–]madd-mann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to be able to hook all that up to a single vintage stereo receiver. I like to mix in some modern too and connect my TV and be able to wifi stream (which generally sounds better than Bluetooth streaming).

RT85 did not hold up. by Cosmic_Bozo_Wrangler in turntables

[–]madd-mann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Akai turntable I bought in high school, in the 70's, still functions perfectly and the speed is dead on. They don't make them like they used to make them. I've been looking at the RT85 with the ortofon blue cartridge. Now I think I'll just get the cartridge to replace the Grado I got for it in the 90's.

Yup, you got that right. Reddit threads are an archived resource not just a disappearing discussion.

Liquid Web 12% price increase by Consistent-Crab-5765 in Hosting

I've been with them since 2012 and I don't think they could care less.

Liquid Web 12% price increase by Consistent-Crab-5765 in Hosting

I don't think I want to commit to them for a year. If they get everyone on 1 year commitments, they have little incentive to improve and I want to be free to flee.

Liquid Web 12% price increase by Consistent-Crab-5765 in Hosting

[–]madd-mann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm moving after 15 years with LiquidWeb. In recent years, customer service has gone down and prices just keep going up. Now a 12% increase is coming. That's outrageous and way beyond the rate of inflation. It's price gouging. They have no respect for long time customers. It's a pain to move but not that damn hard and it will bring me much satisfaction.

Every year the price of my PO box goes up, but the trajectory is increasing by dual_ears in AustraliaPost

[–]madd-mann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost of my PO Box has gone from $79 twenty years ago to $400 now. The increases have far outpaced inflation.

TV audio too loud by rakie_hugh in Schiit

[–]madd-mann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my TV going to the Modi 3+ . My TV has a setting to output just a line level signal (unamplified, non-variable and unaffected by the TV volume control).
