| Acrylic platters & mats??? I will agree with Jofi that Herbie's mat is a real winner for the money. But, though I've not owned a table with an acrylic platter, I thought that one of the ideas of an acrylic platter was that one didn't need to use a mat. If some do, is there ... | |
| Best used SS 100 - 150wpc for a grand or less? I'll umpteenth the McCormack recommendation, and from experience. Great synergy with Vandys. | |
| Speaker toe-in & stereo imaging Rives, your website has grown and improved substantially since last I visited (which has admittedly been some time). Thanks for providing a nice resource. | |
| Isolation platform for non suspended turntable? Vibration control products that are constructed from materials that ring (stone, metal, glass, etc.) or materials that resonate (wood, acrylic, plexiglas, plastic, etc.) should be avoided.What does that leave? :-) | |
| Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor? Taylor 414ce. Very nice. | |
| Selecting Monitors for the First Time The comments thus far are both interesting and appreciated. I was certain that I'd get some good perspectives to weigh in making an ultimate decision, or not making one at all! :-) | |
| Not much buzz about BAT lately? I have yet to own a BAT product, though I've liked what I've heard. I inquired of them once regarding the serial number of a piece that was up for sale her eon the 'Gon. I got a response via e-mail with a production date and some product comments ... | |
| Preamp for Upgraded McCormack DNA-225 Vladimir, it is true about the impedance. One must choose wisely in that regard. A finely discrete voulme contril is also necessary.I tried a Bent passive with the Mc at one point. It was superb in many ways, and turned out to work perfectly in an... | |
| Analog Upgrade Suggestions Welcome Or ignore it all together.Which is likely what we should do as a matter of course, as difficult as it may be sometimes. I suspect that Raul loves nothing more than the attention and the reactions. | |
| Analog Upgrade Suggestions Welcome And I'm trying to "enjoy the music", but your trite little closing (given the offensive content of your posts) is ruining it for me every time I see it now.Me two (or, is that umpteen?). | |
| Graham IC-50 -vs-IC-70 "shotgun" Yes, I agree, and also with respect to break-in time. I bought the 2.2 and the IC-70 shotgun (have not heard the other) as a package. I wound up selling the 2.2 separately and used the IC-70 on a couple of other arms. I sold the IC-70, too, and wi... | |
| Preamp for Upgraded McCormack DNA-225 I did a bit of cursory research on the LS-5. Why would a pre with that kind of original price tag come with what appears to be a regular, fixed power cord? | |
| Preamp for Upgraded McCormack DNA-225 Labtec, they will drag me out of my stereo room before a multi-channel unit finds its way in there. In the big screen room, OK, but not in my sanctuary! :-)How do you think the ARC you mention compares with somethign like a BAT VK30SE?I was under ... | |
| Analog Upgrade Suggestions Welcome Oh, forget it, Raul. You impressions are probably just as bogus as your demeanor, anyway. You seem to end so many posts with "Regards and enjoy the music", yet you show little or no regard for the folks on this site and do even less to further the... | |
| Analog Upgrade Suggestions Welcome What, Raul? You said the 103R was a garbage cartridge. I asked you nicely what your impressions are that would make you say that when many others have said they like its performance. I'm not sure I've ever read ANYONE else who said it was bad. Won... |
