| Best Monitor speaker - low volume level listening JM Labs Micro Utopia BE's! Detractors can say whatever they want, but these transducers are some of the finest, if not the finest mini-monitors extant! Once you've heard what those Beryllium tweeters can do, you're going to be hooked and all other... | |
| Latin Jazz -- Your Top 5 Here's mine:1. Joao Gilberto, Cayetano Veloso & Gilberto Gil, "Brasil", Philips 6328 382, on Dutch Vinyl. Wheew, this will blow you away! One of the finest vocal recordings I've ever heard! Stumbled on this one when I was in Akihibara, Japan. ... | |
| Sold my TT, getting another You're happy, I'm happy! Congrats! I used to own a VPI Jr. many moons ago. It was a very early model and I was not particularly impressed with its performance and build quality. Maybe the current model is built to a much higher standard. Happy lis... | |
| Sold my TT, getting another You're going from a MMF-7 to a VPI 19 Jr.?! That's kind of similar to selling a Toyota Camry to buy a Honda Accord! He-he! If I were you, I will wait a couple of months, save some more money and get a significantly better table (Nottingham Space D... | |
| Anyone try the new J A Michell Rega Counterweight/ Does anybody know if this Michell upgrade will work with Origin Live tonearms, say the Silver 250? | |
| Finally Taking The Plunge "Slained!" What the hell is that? The right word is "SLEW". Sorry for my poor English! | |
| Finally Taking The Plunge The available choices are too diverse! First, you have to let us know how much you're willing to spend. Will you consider buying used equipment?Let me give it a shot!I am recommending the following analog system based on the components you've chos... | |
| What LP shows what analog can do? Have you guys heard the Reference Recordings' Gershwin Mastercut Reissues? A specific cut, "Variations on I Got Rhythm" got me boogying and twirling an invisible baton like a crazy mofo! It's not as explosive as the Firebird, but the overall sound... | |
| What LP shows what analog can do? The Mercury Firebird is one spectacular sounding record! I've been listening to this album for almost 20 years, and have yet to encounter one that can better it in performance and sound. The best version is the 45 RPM Classic Reissue, followed by ... | |
| Tweeter cone on my B&W 805 Naut's is pushed in Just get a vacuum cleaner, attach the extension tube, then place the opening of the tube around the damaged tweeter's cone. Turn on vacuum. It should suck the cone back in shape.Good luck, | |
| Nottingham Audio Space Deck Review Hello Again,Just found a better way to stabilize those wobbly adjustable feet: Rubber washers. You can get some at Home Depot, plumbing and faucet section. They are available in all kinds of sizes and thickness. Very easy to install. Just unscrew ... | |
| Nottingham Audio Space Deck Review Hi Folks!Thanks for all the kind words. Hopefully, discussions like this will attract a lot of attention and sway more music lovers to give analog a serious listen. Mr. 4YANX, just had the opportunity to listen to the OL Illustrious mounted on a R... | |
| Any Michael Franks Fans ? I have been an avid fan of Michael Franks since his very first album, "The Art of Tea." Viridian is correct to point out that this album is the finest sounding and the most musically rewarding of all his releases, with "Sleeping Gypsy" coming in a... | |
| "Beginner" audiophile Turntable for $200-$300? Wait and save your money until you can afford the Rega Planar 3. You should be able to find a used one for 350-450 dollars. For its asking or used price, there is no better table. The Rega will give you a real sampling of what a real high-end turn... | |
| Super Tweak for Nottingham Space TT Jeff,If you are sticking with the stock Space Arm, which is a unipivot arm, you need a high compliance cartridge. Check out the ones from Lyra or Koetsu. The low compliant Shelters (501 II & 901), are in theory, not compatible with unipivot ar... |
