Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Mike, great minds think alike. I also picked up a AT 20ss replacement. The sources are getting slim, and after Harold's situation, I was thinking how close I was to not hearing the beryllium 20ss.I think the Stanton 881s is very good. Stylus ar... 
Beatles Reissues on VINYL Finally
I noticed almost all of the feedback is from the US. Are there other pressings from other countries? If so, what are you hearing?I picked up Rubber Soul to fill a hole in my collection, and other than the mid 60's funky stereo, found it good. Also... 
Amp for Joseph RM-25si ?
I am using a Butler hybrid with my RM25xl's, so it should work with your 25si setup. I thought the Bel Canto 1000 amps were real good, but drum's were TOO good for everyday use for me.I used the Speltz cables with the Joseph's with an old Carver a... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear John, I would rather get some confirmation from someone else in case the problem is on my end. I am not adding load, so other people may get different reactions and my copy of the recording is almost 30 years old. The results may only apply t... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Frogman, did you ever get a chance to listen to the Jack Dejohnette " Pictures" recording? Those cymbals on the 1st cut have proven to be hard for several other cartridges. I was wondering if my copy of this recording could be bad or if you h... 
I can't handle digital after analog light my fire
I know exactly what you are saying. I came back to records from CDs and have not listened so much to music since I ,well, started listening to CDs in the mid 80's. So much better to me. Seems more natural.As to what is next, you will put together ... 
Advice on Equipment Upgrade
Mattmiller, Did you hear the digital system in the current room? We are always trying to keep our tonearm resonance between 8 and 12 Hz, is it possible your room is getting to this area, or the tonearm/cartridge resonance is out of this area? You ... 
What Sets Price on Turntables?
The mmc20cl does indeed have a standard mount adapter, although it is a PITA. I have installed my mmc20cl and it is very good sounding as I remembered. This will allow you to take it with you if you decide you want to upgrade your table latter.Som... 
What Sets Price on Turntables?
I agree there is sometimes no logical answer to your question. Sometimes there are 5 people fighting over one item and the next day you steal an item, with no other bidders, for the same item.Btw, if the mmc20cl is not shot, it is worth more than ...

Sorry about the double post.

As an aside, does anyone remember the Outer Limits episode where the Dr. spent the whole show trying to help a horribly disfigured women, with her face in bandages, only to find she was a pretty girl at the end, and they were the ones, to our thin...

I missed the room size for sure, and as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Rrog is correct.

It's All in Your Head
For me at least, I don't enjoy a fat base.Good discussion and analogy, but can we make bad sound, sound good? An unattractive girl attractive? More to this once you get past the surface.Real to me, with all it's warts ;), has been better than the ... 
Advice on Equipment Upgrade
Hello Matt, I'm going to assume the digital was not to warm for you, so the problem is in your phono chain. The first thing I would do is get some way to adjust VTA and see if this solves your problem. The Rega uses shims for adjusting, but an aft...
