| What tonearm will better mine? For those who don't want to shell out for the MINT protractor: Conrad Hoffman wrote:Ok, I admit it. I tested this on the unsuspecting folks at the asylum first. After a few revisions, here's my cartridge arc alignment template and strobe disk gen... | |
| Looking for SACD player............ jayctoy - " 2 Channel, the technology is so good. And it's cheaper, why go with the old tech"Limited funds. Besides, I love getting something of value for a low cost. It's part of the hobby for me. I had pretty much settled on a used Oppo bdp-10... | |
| Happiness achieved sjtm - I'm in the same boat you are; but starting in shallower water. But at least my ancient Oppo plays DVD-As. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Isolation is vital! Mostly from the wife and kids.But seriously, folks. I am lucky that my speakers are sitting on concrete. They sound best that way. I've tried a few intermediaries. Wood platforms, steel points, stiff felt. None helped, most mad... | |
| Arcam DV139 vs Oppo 95; any thoughts? But will they play SACDs and DVD-As? | |
| Favorite guitar players not named...... After a short listening session last night I'd like to remove Steven Page & Ed Robertson - Bare Naked Ladies from my list and substitute Nils Lofgren. Also, did anyone mention Waddy Wachtel? | |
| Happiness achieved Very nice system except the Marantz SA8004. You need a SA-11. I'll give you a good price for the 8004. ;^) | |
| My final table , hopefully ! Is the Rock 7 (or any turntable) still available from Townsend? | |
| New dedicated line & outlets sound worse, not better- HELP! How do we know it's not our neurons that are burning in and getting used to a new sound?"Crap is crap no matter how long you listen to it. "Forget crap! The third time you listen to a good recording you hear more than the first time. After becom... | |
| Need assistance in selecting an integrated/power amp. I recently heard a Belles Aria integraed ($1,900) with Vandersteen Treo speakers ($6,900). It was an awesome combination. Very impressive!I know that is over your budget of about $6,000 combined; but I think the Aria is a very, very good value and... | |
| TurnTable Quest I don't know where the $1,000 budget came from (not the OP?), but for about that you can Get a Thorens 240, a Sota Moonbeam III, or a Pro-Ject RPM 3, since you like decoupled motors. I don't think you will get a worthy VPI in that range.One to kee... | |
| Favorite guitar players not named...... Good call on Glenn Campbell. I never knew how good he was until recently.I saw a Jimmy Webb concert and he played a video of Glenn doing MacArthur Park. Check it out at about the 4:30 mark. His health is already affecting his voice in this one; bu... | |
| Your first component that was "special" I could say my Stax SR-40 electret head phones. My first amazing transducer, Shure V15 III notwithstanding. Circa 1980. Still enjoying them.Or the Linn Basik I bought last year that re-infected me with the stereo bug and introduced me to vintage b... | |
| Phono Stage for Marantz 5009? I was told by Schitt to leave their phono preamp powered up all the time for best performance. For a moving magnet cartridge I have used a Schiit Mani and an Emotiva XPS-1. Both are quite reasonably priced and sound good to me. They also got good ... |
