Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver?
Tom, I hope that you sent a certified letter to yourself with a drawing of the HiFi mods. Could be grounds for litigation.... ;-) 
Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver?
Tom, mucho obligoto for your most considered and detailed reply. Look forward to hearing your impressions and how the hanging counterweight "shakes out", as it were! :-) 
More Music Gemm
I have purchased quite a number of LP's through GEMM.COM both new and used. The availabilty of records is probably unmatched and includes dealers from all over the world. Not unlike other "sight unseen" buying, you take the good with the bad, thou... 
Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver?
Very interesting. Let me ask a few questions further, if you will.By all accounts, the heavier counterweight on the OL Silver and other Rega-based arms is accepted as a worthwhile mod. So much so that one sees, "worth its weight in gold" and other... 
Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver?
Tom, I will be interested in the Illustrious/Silver Bullet comparison. Then, maybe someone can send to me a Silver Bullet so that I can do the same comparison! :-)Why do you feel in advance that the Silver Bullet will outdo the Encounter? No disre...

Which low cost turntable should I choose ?
Francisco, now that I see the goal is to "solve the vinyl versus CD question", I catch your drift...... 
What are you all doing to modify your cds?
Sean, I am in full agreement with your thesis regarding the need to eliminate, to the extent possible, any and all error and that not doing so adds a measure of uncertainty, at the least. I am just not sure that all error is audible and that the 1... 
Is vinyl dead ?
Not sure where you live, Vader, but if it is in the Bay Area California, contact me. I bet that in one afternoon, and some flexibility with regard to placement (send the wife on a shopping trip?), there would be sound coming from that rig that you... 
Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver?
Doug, I think that you will be well served my the Silver. Please realize that when I indicated a preference for the Morch DP-6, it is a matter of rather small degrees. Both are fine arms. I felt the Morch presented the midrange a bit better and ha... 
Which low cost turntable should I choose ?
So, Francisco, why would you advise Layton to eschew the purchase of a table? You have the creature. What in Layton's post makes you think that he will be less able to tolerate the foibles listed in the post link to which you link (real or imagine... 
What LP shows what analog can do?
I noticed something similar to what Marty has said regarding the recommendation of digitally mastered LP's. Nothing much to offer in the way of explanation other than some folks' record collection may not go too far back as some old farts like me ... 
Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver?
The Morch DP-6 is a dual bearing design, while the UP-4 is a unipivot. The DP-6 has a ball bearing damped with silicon in the horizontal. It uses two sapphire bearings in the vertical. Damping in both planes is separate. Vertical can be adjusted. ... 
What are you all doing to modify your cds?
Well, Sean and Ed, neither of your articles really PROVES much of anything. As a side note, if small scratches, fingerprints, smudges, etc., etc. effect the quality of CD playback THAT much, they have more in common with the lowly LP than some mig... 
How much does rock-solid speed stability cost?
Francisco sez: "Even though I'm buying used, demo and price point gear, my system is approaching $7-8K. This has to end--soon. I need to move on."LOL, and good luck, my friend! :-)
