| My final table , hopefully ! I'm going to add a vote for the Oracle Origine...with qualifications.It looks like the closest thing to an Alexandria that you can buy today, and while I haven't heard the Origine, I love my Alexandria. Also the tone arm looks very intriguing. It ... | |
| Are Bang and Olufsen turntables any good? I inherited a Beogram RX2 some years ago. It sat in storage for years. About 2 years ago, when I set up a second system, I got it out and tried it. It sounded horrible! I discovered that the stylus was gone. Epoxy probably degraded. As I recall it... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I stand corrected. It was low capacitance. Damn newbies! | |
| Shopping for an integrated, advice s'il vous plait. I heard a Belles Aria yesterday. Very nice! A little above your budget at around $1,900 at the shop I was at. The owner was demoing $9,000 speakers. He switched to a Rogue Cronus Magnum, which didn't sound as dynamic to my ears. At least one of th... | |
| Long lost songs Just scored another one: Greg Brown - 'Cept You & Me Babe.Heard it once on the car Radio in 2001 or so, and never found it because I remembered the verse as "Except Me and You, Babe."I don't think I have any more to search for. I feel a little... | |
| Speakers for 15K - Discounts Hope you haven't pulled the trigger yet. If you have do not read further! I heard the Vandersteen Treo CTs yesterday at an audionut gathering in NJ. Never been a Vandy fan; but these were exceptional with a Belles Aria!Paying retail is bad. Buy... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? About 4 months ago I bought a custom tonearm cable that is claimed to have exceptionally low impedance. That is not the reason I bought it, but I noted that it might negatively affect my Shure V15 RS - I usually play a LOMC which has better bass. ... | |
| Music you Hated but now Love Greg Brown's Covenant was delivered today. " 'Cept you & Me Babe" is better than I remembered. It will take me a while to see if I like the rest of the CD, though. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Just arrived. Greg Brown, COVENANT from Red House Records. Been searching for it for about 7 years. I heard 'Cept You and Me Babe' on the radio but I didn't know the title. I thought I had tried every combination possible in all the search engines... | |
| Shopping for an integrated, advice s'il vous plait. "Pourquoi pas Marantz ? I have had yamaha (18 years old still alive), arcam alpha 8 amp + integrated (dead after a few years), adcom (dead after a couple years), NAD (dead after 6 years), and finally marantz pm8004, as good or better than anythi... | |
| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound Chiguy,Hurry up and decide! We're waiting for the results. ;^)Seriously, take your time. Speaker shopping is such a sweet distraction. | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? I am not using it as a DAC, except to play a few files loaded on a USB thumb drive. I may want to with the new unit.Yes, I have it connected to an HP PC monitor for programming and a little DVD playing. I have discovered that Oppo makes, but sell ... | |
| Shopping for an integrated, advice s'il vous plait. Another endorsement for ami and yogiboy. But I love my Rotel RX-1052, so maybe add the RA-1570 to the list? Also, the Musical Fidelity M3i. If I were in the market the first three I'd audition would be the Rogue, the Wyred4sound, and the Musical F... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? Thanks, Bill and pmiller. Congrats, Randy. Let us know the results if you do any comparisons. | |
| Best Turntable for the Price - Linn Basik I think the Mitchell must be OK. I may try one, but right now I'm using a cork mat (and a graphite/felt/graphite brush), and that helped the static a lot. But I don't think it's a good match for the clamp - very little give.Obviously, you wouldn't... |
