| 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... | |

| 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... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau singing Schubert's Die Winterreise, with Jörg Demus on piano, Deutsche Grammophon 2707 028Recorded in a studio and close miked. Fischer-Dieskau's baritone is crystal clear as is the piano that accompanies him. It's as if ... | |
| The AR turntable If its so good, why do you want to upgradeStringreen, you know better than to ask that question - this is Audiogon, after all. :-)Bbopman, if you decide to sell and replace the AR, you'll get many different recommendations. I've had suspended tabl... | |

| How many hours weekly do you listen to your system Pawlowski6132,In our case my wife is a pastor and we live next door to the church. She has office hours when she needs to be there, but the rest of the time she prefers to work at home as there are less interruptions. The cordless phone signal fro... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. "Audio actually used to have a goal: perfect reproduction of the sound of real music performed in a real space.""The playback still doesn't sound 'just like the real thing.' People, let's start getting back to basics. Let's put the 're' back into ... |
