Whats on your turntable tonight?
Reubent!I didn’t think Romeo Void was issued on LP. Love warm in your coat, but I only have the CD.Also, I have a few C. Simon SACDs on my wish list. Maybe I’ll save some money and search out some vinyl. The problem is that my 2 CS LPs are pretty ... 
Cartridge recommendations
@sunnyjim Please don't hold the sanctimonious, self-promoting preachings of some put you off of this fine forum. I certainly interpreted your post as a request for information. @tablejockey  & @oleschool,  I too looked at the ART-9 before I bo...

Maybe a Denon DL-301 would be a closer sound to the Shelter than the 103. 
Last CD player?
I have my eye set on an Esoteric DV-50. My system is a 100 WPC Rotel receiver, which I think sounds wonderful with my Canton Ergo floorstanders. None of my cables cost more than $70. My question is should I expect to be able to hear a significant ... 
Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable?
How about a relative way of looking at it such as ’equal to the amount spent on speakers’ or ’1.5 x amp + pre’?I just did a quick calculation: I spent 66% more on my analog front end than on my speakers. In fact the  analog front end was almost e...

@mmporsche  Let me make a proposition. I will gladly spend day after day auditioning TT/TA/pre/cartridge combinations until I find THE one that resonates with heaven. I will bring it to you and if you allow me, set it up. (I have such fun doing th... 
Long lost songs
I haven't found Gary White performing his own composition, "Long Long Time"; but I did get a version by Melanie. It's on her Silver Anniversary double CD and it is a nice interpretation.I'll still hunt for Gary.

Just finished cleaning my old copy of CS&N. Thought I'd give it a listen after so many years. I wonder if I wore it out in my teens. Suite Judy Blue Eyes!

I have to laugh when someone writes that a media is dead. I don't give a rat's a$$. I have over 100 LPs, 80 CDs, a few SACDs, DVD-As and HDCDs. I am not going to put them in the trash no matter what. I got a better TT and cartridge last year. I en...

@mmporsche You seem to know what you are doing and how to do it.To answer your original question, although I don't know why anyone else's opinion should even matter, I couldn't hold my head up if I couldn't complete the task with $15,000. Much les... 
Downsizing
Tekton Mini Lores? 
Looking for SACD player............
Is there any experience or comparison with the Arcam DV137 or DV139? 
Help, my system sounds lifeless!
Bump on the Vandersteen Treos. I heard a pair of Treo CTs with a Belles Aria at Audio Connection in Verona NJ. Very, very, nice in a space more compromised than yours. They are good people, too. 
High Quality Universal Player??
2 things:So now that the Oppo BDPxxx supply is being cut off and the UDP line is coming out, what effect do you predict on the price of used BDPs>And regarding my previous 103/105; MCintosh/Yamaha post, what I was trying to get at is would I be... 
...a second listen
@atmasphere Interesting take on felt mats, since Linn ships them with their tables. Since no mat is not an option with the Basik, I chose a cork blend. That was before I started spending stupid money on my addiction.On my Oracle I use the original...
