i have one of these Harman/kardon speakers for my computer... and a good enough Philips stereo... But the cd function is broken. So i play my cd's from the dvd with the stereo's amplifiers... It works very weLL... it's got Woox base... Im satisfied. I use the stereo speakers for my turntable asweLL.... All in all... i really can't complain. |

no. i fucking hate cd players. can't seem to find one that works without "bugs", no matter whether it's a cheap portable one or an expensive hi-fi one. |

CD players got really shit when they started using standard CD-ROM units to cut costs thus relying on shitty error correction to iron out poor disc reading. |

I realised why I like vinyl today. Its fucking BIG! |

when i tried to put ok computer, which i bought 5 years ago and hadn't listened to for 2 years , into my cd-player a few days ago (the first time in ages i used my cd-player) and the player couldnt read it i realized that that's another main-pro for vinyl. you dont have to sit in front of your cd player for 15 minutes and clean the cd again and again til the player finally reads it. |

i don't have speakers yet except my computer's, i almost always use headphones... if i get less shy about exposing my music tastes in public maybe i'll get speakers : ) if i want to play a cd, i have: • my computer, but the ventilator makes a lot of noise when playing it (whereas it's really silent otherwise) • a philips portable cd player which spits some parasite noises on some cds, in-between the tracks, but also sometimes inside the tracks (rarely but it happens) • a marantz cd player which keeps on skipping (short bursts of silence where there shouldn't be any, and when i replay the same part it plays fine again) from time to time for no apparent reason (or maybe it's because my room is dusty), and also can't read hidden tracks before track 1 (ok, i only know three cds who have this, so it's no big deal - the skipping thing is annoying though) ... sometimes i just convert the cd i want to listen to in mp3 256 kbps. |

I'm not satisfied, but I would have been if I hadn't listened to all that amazing stuff at the hifistores all the time... it's a H/K dvd 22, Yamaha RX-v440 amp, tech 1210 turntable and vestax pmc 05 pro III and audio pro focus sa-5 speakers. The audiopros pack quite a punch for two-way speakers, so bass isn't a problem, and the highs and lows are well enough defined that I puke at mp3s if I have the vinyl version... I wish I had a clearaduio master reference turntable running through a decent vinyl amp (haven't been looking too much at dedicated amps for vinyl) to two classé mono-block amps that drive either martin logan electrostatic speakers or Bauers & Wilkins nautilus... and then a separate surround setup, but I don't know which amp/player I would go for then... I know there are better setups than this, but this is about the best I've heard (not all in the same setup, though, and never the clearaudio master reference, 'cause it takes too long to set up). |

also, another wise thing to do is to clean your vinyls too - then the needle suffers less |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
you mean with some cleaning fluid? hm, i never thought it was neccessary since all my vinyls sound very good (pretty few cracking noises), but then again i already had to replace my needle 3 times, i guess, or even four (but one time was because i accidently actively destroyed it) from 1999 - 2005. |

i mean like taking the dust off a record with a specific tool. i once saw such thing at my friend's house. i was surprised and she said it should be done everytime you want to play a vinyl - dust it then play it. i don't do it though :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, sounds slightly stressful. i even used to have such device, but it didnt really seem to work though, there was not less dust on the record after i tried to dust off the dust. you merely shifted the dust to another place on the record. maybe my fault. |

|
yeah, it's crap anyway :) off-topic : are You coming to that Autechre gig in Berlin ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess not. since i would have to go by train this would mean around 110 euros for train-tickets and i dont have that. at first an acquaintance, who wanted to drive to berlin on the same day (even though not to see autechre) wanted to pick me up, be he doesnt go, so i aint either (i neither have a car nor driver's license). |

I need to upgrade my speakers as I have to limit the volume as my amp overdrives them and decent CD player. I was orginally planning on panel speakers but they have been superseded. The warmth of sound is great in any case my vinyl probably best (Marantz Gold Series Class A turntable). I was building my system before I met Flea 12 years ago and he made me broke so we will see. |

I have a wide angle brush for the vinyl and a tiny brush for the needle, I use the brush each time I play a vinyl as it stops dust from accumulating as you play the record you clean it. I used to buy a spray formula and clean my vinyl on a regular basis with a soft cloth. The CD/DVD cleaning cloths will do the job as long as you follow the grain. |

If you're not satisfied, insure it and invite flea to come and live with you. |
