| Morrow IC's Show me someone who doesn't believe that some cables need to be broken in and I will show you someone who has never had a set of new Morrow cables. IME they go from OK to barely listenable to quite good within the 300 to 400 hours. Some might fi... | |
| Analogue-free system I'll take your jazz LPs if they are in the way. | |
| Accuphase pricing Japan vs. USA I wanted to buy an Accuphase but ended up with a Luxman (which I am very happy with) because of the exorbitant markup by the distributor. At the time it was more that twice the Japanese price in the US. I could have ordered two from Japan, even ... | |
| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? IMO the Technics can certainly compete with all the tables you listed with exception of the latest LP 12. The LP 12 I heard at RMAF sounded very good but cost $25,000. For that kind of money, I would buy a Technics SP10R instead.The presentation... | |

| Zerostat: Old is Gold? Well, I guess I will have to "bite the bullet" and pony up $40 or so for a used Zerostat gun. Why they sell for so much use is one of those many audio mysteries I will probably never understand and just have to learn to accept.It should be easy t... | |
| Dynaudio Special Forty vs. Contour 20 I heard the Special 40s at RMAF. They sounded really nice, clear, punchy and a little warm. The thing that put me off was the finish. They put such a high polish on the things the wood looked like plastic. I like wood to look like wood! I don... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G I would go with the Technics. If you don't like it, you could sell it with very little loss.I don't get people knocking the arm. It is quite good for the price and not inferior to the Rega arm IMO. Of course you could buy a Triplanar 12" for th... | |

| How good is the Technics 1200 Mk2 with all the KAb upgrades? I have a KAB modded 1200 with isonoe feet, damper, 78 rpm, an Achromat and upgraded headshells. He was still working on the tonearm rewiring when I bought mine so I didn't get that done.Since you bought yours, Kevin has come up with a couple more... |
