| New Upgrade Kit from Zu for the Druids Ton1313,Were these the Druids you bought in 2002? So you were upgrading from the original model? Just trying to get some idea of how big a leap you made. I have Mk4s, so I'm thinking the difference might not be as big.David | |
| First Watt F4 Indeed, I find it interesting that the iterations of the First Watt series aren't meant to be improvements on the predecessor, but are completely different designs aimed at solving a different problem. The fact that he releases the schematics for ... | |
| The Tubes Sushi Girl - Completion Backwards PrincipleBack in 1982 or 83 The Tubes and The Indianapolis Symphony (with the fabulous John Nelson conducting) were both at Valparaiso University on the same night. I really wanted to see The Tubes, but the woman ... | |
| Rawson Resale...... Cdc,One keeps their eye on the classifieds here on Audiogon. He has an amp for sale right now, and had another this morning but it's gone already, meaning he sold it right away. I got lucky with mine as he posted it late at night and I saw it quic... | |

| Dave Brubeck/Ramsey Lewis Jaybo,After looking it up, I see you're right! I had always thought In Crowd was penned by Lewis. That's what I love about Audiogon. I'm not finding much else on Billy Page though. What else did he write?David | |
| Riggle Vtaf w/Rega P9 & RB1000. Good idea or not? Cmk,Pete was never incredibly quick to respond, but always patient and extremely helpful when he did. His product is top quality and he's willing to do custom work if you need it. I'm sure VTAF must be a sideline for him rather than his main line ... | |
| Riggle Vtaf w/Rega P9 & RB1000. Good idea or not? Jbcello,Have you verified with Pete that he has a VTAF model for the 3 point mount Rega tonearms? Last I looked he still only had VTAF for the screw base Regas.I have a VTAF for my RB250 and it's terrific, but I haven't seen or heard one on a P9.D... | |
| Denon 103R with well tempered classic arm I used a 103R on my Well Tempered Record Player arm, very similar to your Classic arm. I used the alternative mounting method as outlined in Bill Firebaugh's original instructions (contact me via email if you need them); one mounting screw directl... | |
| High output MC cartridges? Patrick_odonnell,I own the Zyx Bloom, and while it comes in both a high and low output version, even the high isn't very high; roughly .7mv on the common scale. It still requires a fair amount of gain to be at it's best.David | |
| What would you do? I'd buy something used and inexpensive here on Audiogon, and then upgrade when funds were available. You might even be surprised at how little you're missing versus the higher priced units.Music is too important to do without, even for a few month... | |
| Cartridge & phono stage for VPI Scoutmaster setup? I own the Jolida Music Envoy preamp, in which the phono stage is identical to the JD-9A. It's actually a hybrid unit (thanks Piedpiper! :-) ) with an op-amp gain stage and a tube follower. I love mine - dynamic, great detail, and dead quiet even a... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tonight was loud for me too:Nick Lowe - Labour of LustEmerson, Lake & Palmer - TrilogyPink Floyd - MeddleRecording quality in the 70s was all over the map, sometimes even track to track on the same album, but there was a lot of great music mad... | |
| Difference between Fubar II & III beside headphone Synthfreek,I've owned a Fubar II now for almost a year and I think it's terrific. Totally plug and play via USB with my iBook G3, and the sound quality is way better than the internal sound card of the Mac. In my system using Apple Lossless, sonic... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Indeed, Rushton, that's a lesson I've learned the hard way. Based on a few great recordings I stumbled across, I made the erroneous assumption that all DG vinyl must be pretty good. I bought a lot of them back when my rig wasn't nearly as revealin... |
