| Herbie's mat with NAD 533 Gadfly.......Thanks for the corrected link. Looks cool. A question for all who may know......From whom should I buy the glass platter ? Audio Advisor sells one (10 mm. thick, 3.7 lbs.) for $69, and there's an "official Rega glass platter" listed o... | |
| Herbie's mat with NAD 533 Hey Ekobesky.........That's some terrific advice. I think I'll follow your stepwise approach. I believe that Audio Advisor sells the glass platter, and with their return policy, it seems to be an easy way to try this "upgrade." Thanks a lot.......... | |
| Herbie's mat with NAD 533 Hey Gadfly and Ekobesky......Yes, I'm still using the original MDF platter and felt mat. If I switch to a Rega glass platter, should I also get the Herbie's mat ?.....Keep the felt mat on the glass ?....or place the LP's directly onto the glass ? ... | |

| Question on cable selection for Vandersteen 1 My Vandersteen 1C's are connected to my Rogue Audio Cronus integrated amp (EL-34 tubes) with AudioQuest Type 6+ cables, and the synergy is wonderful. Give these cables a try. You may be very happy with the sound. Happy Listening. | |
| Crunch time: headphones $150.... Grado SR-125............real simple...they're terrific. | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? Okay, don't laugh......the live acoustic cut of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" on the Allman Brothers "2nd Set" CD is fantastic. Also, check out Garcia/Grisman "Shady Grove" and some cuts on Eric Johnson's first record. | |
| Grado Cartridge questions..... Wow, thanks a lot guys........I really appreciate all the input. It seems like Grado and Vandersteen, the meeting of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, will work very well for me. To my ears, beautiful midrange and natural timbre are much more impor... | |
| Grado Cartridge questions..... Thanks for all the responses so far. Okay, so let's assume I go for the Grado Reference Sonata (there just seems to be something very cool about buying an audio product from Brooklyn, New York, from a family owned company that's been in the audio ... | |
