- Please join your host Steve Westman as he welcomes the Roundtable gang.
They will rant, prattle, tantrum, vent, boilover and yammer about everything audiophile vinyl related. As well as their journey into the rabbit hole of high fidelity gear.
Plus, a discussion on the "grails" not yet achieved in their collection. - Розваги
LOL good job George for standing up to Steve and his “let me stop you right there” interruptions. Let your guests speak, man!
And audiophile release of Lindsey Buckingham‘s first five solo albums would be brilliant asbrilliantly recorded and enough popular to be bankable.
Great show George , Mazzy , Patrick and Steve I remember working at Sam Goody music I was given promo vinyl in the late 90’s I missed those days I got Blur 13 vinyl I still have .
Lots of promos out there that's for sure. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great conversation
Thanks for watching. 🙏
Great stream & REALLY enjoyed the gear talk...always enjoy when VC channels mix gear & vinyl discussion. As per usual, the Roundtable does not disappoint, always learn something new. Also, loving the Marquee Moon RE/RM...next level job again by Rhino Hi-Fi.
Mush appreciated. I appreciate the kind words. Yes MM sounds fantastic. Thanks for watching.
I have spoken to the head of pure Fidelity and I was very impressed. I’m looking forward to hearing your opinion Steve.
I have done many shootouts with the Harmony turntable in the past few years. It's pure joy.
Can I just say the new Television Marquee Moon is wonderful! (And I was there for the ‘77 release)
Yes. I agree. Thanks for watching.
Steve the visuals/photos really enhance the discussion, especially of the panels personal gear.
I appreciate that. I have been doing the visuals on the roundtables since the beginning. I really enjoy putting these shows together with them. Thanks for watching.
the new rega naia is a game changer fantastic!!!! less is more
Scottish, newby viewer of you guys, love the show.
I've had my Rega P3, Denon amp and B&W 603s since 2001 all imacculate and serving me well.
I upgraded the belt in 2005, fitted a couple of shims to raise the arm, and was using my prefered MP110 cartridge, which is sonically nicer to me on my system than ortofons, goldrings etc.
Though currently using an AT440mlb microline , it tracks like a bugger and is great at picking out detail, but I do miss that warm wrap around hugging sound of the MP110, will be getting another
I'm heading towards my 60s now, so I'm looking to get the Rega P8 upgrade to a newer amp as a treat to myself within the next couple of years when I hit the big 6 0.
I've never had any hum issues WITHBTHE RP3 till last year,
Rega's are earthed the wire is inside the arm and If it breaks its a sod to sort, but my issue was my Nagaoki MP110 body, once figured out ,I fitted my back up AT and all good, will get another MP110 soon.
Welcome to the show. I will be having a live show featuring the founder of Rega Roy Gandy next Tuesday. Stay tuned for that. Hope you have some questions for him. Thanks for watching Walter.
Mazzy, you must let us know how you were able to solve the sibilance issue! I’ve been battling it myself and cannot figure it out for the life of me.
An audiophile is a lover of music that enjoys good playback of music in their home.
i worked for my college radio station and they had closets full of promotional albums
I think most radio station were given promos.
A "fresh" cup of coffee...a bowl of good pipe tobacco...and your conversations. A GREAT way to start the day!

aging hippie
Thanks for watching.
Fremer is out to lunch on artist’s’ intentions. Unless an artist is publicly explicit about their intentions we just don’t know. Including Fremer
FALSE
No, it’s true
Patrick i am a fan of VPI for a few reasons they are made in America, its family owned they make quality stuff, i have a Nomad turntable, and VPI HW17 purchased prior to the ultrasonic cleaner the first edition vpi traveler is highly regarded no longer made sadly.
very funny George you had mazzy going there
Kirkland does make the best toilet paper.
Love the in groove, but holding $$ hostage at time of pre-order is a bummer. Wishing that they could post the charge on ship date like AP, Amazon and most others. Not a big deal most of the time but paying for expensive preorders like Steely Dan UHQRs a year in advance seems like a missed interest opportunity for the buyer. That said, Ticket Bastard does this all the time with concert tickets.
The transparency of what was given to folks on this show makes it Seminal.
@Patrick, at some point I want to pick your brain about the linear tracking arm on your VPI.
patrick had a great idea about a sundays box set i would buy it harriet wheeler has a beautiful voice
Yes I agree. I want to see more box sets this year. Not just the one off albums. Like a no thrills box set. No books or extras. Just the albums.
Those Meta R3 are $3G's a pair. I have always liked KEF. They must be good from your's and Mazzy reaction to hearing them. BTW, a good example of how good Kevin's Marquee Moon mastering is on the track Guilding Light. Check out the drums, the sound of the cymbals etc. It's got a detailed tonal quality with the shrill. That track is a good example since it's arguably the best recorded song the record. I can hear Kevin's tube signal path in the overall sound is really good.
Borden and the beans 😂
You guys need a second table ! Mono setup ! A proper Mono setup will blow your mind!
Hey guys open up you minds most of Mark Knopfler records are fabulous. The last two were particulary good, Tracker, and Down the Road Wherever and the sound is some of the best sounding records I have.
I'm excited about his upcoming Blue Note release.
There are actually two versions of GOLDFINGER, the one recorded that you hear int he movie and a seance that was specifically released a s a single that is slightly different a recording and in arrangement that was released as a single. Whether they had the same exact musicians I do not know, but we'll have to find out.
Thank you Nicholas.
Buy the Pure Fidelity Steve, you won't regret it. It's the perfect neutral table to mess around with plenty of arms and cartridges down the road if you want.
Oh I know. Been using the Pure Fidelity Harmony for a few years now at the HI Fi Centre for my shootouts. It's fantastic. I know you are enjoying your Pure Fidelity. Incredible craftsmanship and made in Vancouver.
One other one I missed.. Cool panel. Watching now.
It was fun show.
@@stevewestman7774 none better than this one in the last few months.. IMHO. And I refer to all so called VC channels. This is historic in content with 4 great guys.
@@thebuxtstopshere very very much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
Nothing better than my old VPI TNT. Just dont drop it on your foot.
Ouch 😓.
It doesn’t matter how well you set up a turntable if a cartridge isn’t run in it will probably sound sibilant and weak at frequency extremes.
Running in TIME is the only thing to cure the sibilantS
NOT set up 🤪
Borden speaking a lot of sense on this one. Personally, I think the 3 guests or fewer format works best. Many thanks, gents.
Yes. 4 seems to be a good number for flow. I agree.
The cart story makes sense.. Same as cables. Get good studio cabling and way to go..
The turntable should not be the source of the sibilance, it’s likely the cartridge, tracking force possibly , also have your guy check the azimuth. Steve let Mazzy know.
Thank you. 🙏
Humans enter and exit the world in diapers. Cartridges enter and exit the world in sibilance. 😊
When did cartridges become carts? Is the extra syllable too strenuous? No wonder you guys don’t like 45 rpm LPs
good one lol.
The Dream Team!
If the glove don't fit.........
my rega rp-1 sucks also i have hum I've done everything to eliminate hum cheater plugs running ground wire from receiver ground to a screw on rega tt i have a filtered power outlet Sorry i will never buy mega again i got the hum very reduced but not totally eliminated hum is worse with external preamps hum is better with my marantz stereo receiver Really horrible design REGA
I enjoy your content but I get tired of pbthal talking over everyone. He is a very knowledgeable guy but he comes across as a "know-it-all".
