| Nat Cole's "Love is the Thing" on Groove Note Jfrech,You're absolutely right about the Groove Note's LP's. That's why I have high hopes for this pressing. BTW did you hear Jacintha's "Jacintha is Her Name" album? The sound is nothing short of revelatory! Please let us know how you like the so... | |

| cartridge recommendations for Nottingham table Dude, get a Shelter 501 MK 2! You will not enjoy your Spacedeck/Space Arm ensemble to the fullest if you skimp on the cartridge. Other worthy candidates: Ortofon Kontrapunkt A or B, Denon DL-103's, Benz Micro Glider 2, etc.., There are plenty of g... | |
| Cary V12 and other tubes Trelja, I concur. I was also puzzled by the result. I biased the amp exactly as recommended by Cary. A friend of mine has the V12i monos. He also tried the KT88's and arrived at the same conclusion. Another friend tried a set on his Jadis DEFY 7, ... | |
| Cary V12 and other tubes Stick with the EL34's. The V12's sound with the KT88's (Svetlana's) was bland and lifeless. Dynamics were also squashed and constricted. Don't waste your time and money! I still have the Svetlana KT88's with only a few hours on them just gathering... | |
| Is there a worthy 6922 presently made? There's an ad just posted asking $800 for a pair of pinched waist Amperex! Is this price still within reasons? Are these tubes really that good? | |
| Input on a possible new system.... Sorry for the late response, I was out of town. I need to know how much you're willing to spend to make my recommendations. If I were in your shoes, I would pick up a used Rega Planar 3 or a P25. You will also need a quality moving coil cartridge ... | |

| PS Audio P500 vs VPI SDS Thank you for all the great responses. Mr. Cylinderking, you just saved me a bunch of dineros! You da' Man! | |
| Spacedeck Owners: Have you experienced this? Make sure that the belt grooves on the platter are perfectly aligned with those of the motor. You can raised the motor up or down by loosening the allen screw of the motor base. Good luck, | |
| i hate to ask but I Really Need Help Holy Mother of Godzilla! I feel I just graduated from college and earned a Master's Degree after reading Mr. Sean's response! Wow...! A thousand-and-one kudos to Mr. Sean for such an enlightening and thorough dissertation. | |
| PS Audio P500 vs VPI SDS Coffee Nudge, thank you for the thorough response! Blcube, I am currently using a Nottingham Space Turntable, Origin Live Silver 250 and Shelter 901. Well, I guess I may have to spring for the SDS or the Nott's Wave Mechanic. | |
| A novel passive preamp design One is already in production from Audio Synthesis, a British high-end company. I'm using one right now in tamdem with a heavily modified EAR 834P to play vinyl. The product is called Pro-Passion. It has one balanced input and one balanced output; ... | |
| JMLab Micro Utopia Be vs Dynaudio Special 25 I've been the proud owner of the Utopia BE's for a few months now, and I'm one happy Mofo! Do not..., repeat "do not", judge these transducers right out of the box. Once broken-in and mounted on sturdy stands, they will astound and mesmerize you w... |
