| recommend a good computer and digital camera? As a professional photographer I have much the same opinion as Gunbei. I have a Mac dual processor tower and the new 17" Powerbook. Both are excellent and you have the choice of several operating systems.I have OS 9.1 on one hard drive in the Mac ... | |
| Customer Service by Alon Good news and the kind of service audiophiles should be grateful for. Companies providing the level of service that Alon has in your situation should be recognized (and rewarded) for their excellence. | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question I was thinking two head shells and two cartridges. 78's are supposed to be wired mono and Shure makes a true mono cartridge. Not certain how each wires to the head shell or how that effects the run to the phono stage. More research yet to do. | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question To do this right, someone would need a sample of five or six of these pieces and do a shoot off. Even then it would be necessary to have more than one cartridge and tonearm so there was no unfair synergy with a certain piece. Unfortunately this is... | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question I just wrote an email to the MingDa people, asking about the MC767-RD Phono Tube Pre-Amplifier.It looks very nice. Wish I had someone who has compared it to any of the others discussed here. There seems to be a wealth of new inexpensive tube phono... | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question Thanks for the link Jphii.Good news too as this is a true mono cartridge according to Shure web site. All I would need is a second head shell and I can spin every everything from 16 to 78 RPM.I wish I had access to the 2000 78 RPM discs you mentio... | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question Then we would have to get one of those dogs like RCA used in the ads. I can see him now, sitting in the living room listening to that old horn coming off the Victrola and ignoring my Soundlabs. | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question Cool idea Dekay. If I take over another room my wife will have no place to sleep. I'm going to have to push it through the current rig. Maybe get a second head shell for the Decca and a true mono cartridge for those old 78's. | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question Bmckenney, that would be perfect. I hope you make that listening session and post results. Johnnantais. I was considering the Seduction kit new and the EAR used. I was thinking the EAR used for $500.00. The Seduction kit is $225.00 plus the recent... | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question Still not hearing from Audiogon members as to which phono stage is best in this price range. Has no one compared EAR 834 to Sound Lab Mini or Seduction kit?Other suggestions? Tom Lyon says I should consider Goldring 1042 Moving magnet for the Decc... | |

| Your latest "HOT " secret music............ Siliab, I agree with your assessment of Phineas, do you own any of his old pressings on Roulette label? I found some at CES (Vegas) a few years ago and have enjoyed them immensely.Any chance your a Bill Evans fan as well? | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question I opened my new Decca arm today and it is BEAUTIFUL. Unbelievable it sat sealed and unused all these years! I picked it up for $50.00. (Thanks for the tip Jean.)My Lenco 75 should be here Thursday. I plan on going through it and determine if condi... | |
| balanced is inherently flawed I prefer single ended interconnect for my 38 foot run between my balanced preamp to amplifiers. My turntable looks to be running balanced from the appearance of the cable. I had a custom built balanced cable terminated as single ended. The purpose... | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question Johnnatais has answered the variable speed questions about the Lenco.As for why this is necessary, here is a section from a page on 78 RPM disc playback. By no means all 78s were actually recorded at 78 RPM. Even in the late 1920s English Co... |
