| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Dsiggia,I am not surprised to learn of your Supratek Cortese purchase; it will be a natural addition to your system, which is quite nice indeed. But you have a very good preamp already with the Sonic Frontiers Line 3SE. I wouldnt expect a huge ga... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hi Doug,If I go with an OL arm, it will be an Encounter or higher. I will pass on the Silver. | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Dsiggia,In regards to the phono preamp, I am willing to spend up to $2,000. In a previous post I mentioned some of the phono stages that have caught my eye. To this list I have added a few more:1. GSP ERA Gold V with either the GSP Elevator, or Be... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Chris,My upgrade path has been a long, but determined one. Its not easy scraping up the money to buy the next component despite my comfortable salary and lifestyle. Audio is damn expensive, but is only eclipsed by cars and jewelry. Thank God my w... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path In this thread, I have spent a considerable time talking about my upgrade aspirations, which for most people who love vinyl, cannot afford even if they won a small lottery. Now I know that seems difficult to believe given the systems of the people... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hey Chris,Hows Halloween? Its quiet here.I took a look at Michael Greens web site, and his racks and stands are first rate. But then so are the prices. I will most likely make the stand for the turntable. I have to find a way to save money some... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Chris,LOL. I got it! You know the reference to your tube amp being a mediocre equalizer. What a sense of humor you have. Why, I was thinking of starting another thread concerning the virtues of having a 10-band, tube-based equalizer in ones aud... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hi Guys!Wow! Thereve been a lot of posts today, and thats for sure. I am so swamped at work. We decorated our area today for Halloween. Tomorrow I will be coming as a clown. Maybe thats fitting so long as I dont make a big fool of myself. So b... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Flg2001,Thanks for sharing your turntable shortlist. Its always nice to get input!I think my time for further exploration and rumination has come to an end; a decision is at hand! During the last couple of days I have entertained thoughts of fanc... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Twl,I am not surprised to learn of your objections to the Aurora Gold in terms of build quality. The pictures of it on the Origin Live web site tell me that story. But it is interesting to learn that you were dissatisfied with the sound. However, ... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path In all of our discussions, not much has been said about mass-loaded tables versus sprung or suspended tables. The suspended table may have an advantage over the mass-loaded design, especially in the area of handling acoustic feedback and being mor... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Flg2001,In all honesty, I have not heard the Denon 103G. Is it similar to the 103D? My first cartridge will be the Shelter 501 II. I am very sure about that decision. I am still working out the turntable/tonearm combination. | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hey Letch,Its only money, right? Thats what I keep telling myself! Hang in there! Not to make matters worse for you, have you seen the Redpoint tables? They are breathtaking to say the least.I know that money will not be the final arbiter in you... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Flg2001,Yes, the Denon 103R is a very popular cartridge, one used by several of the people who have posted here. Can't go wrong with that unit. | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Rauliruegas,The Moerch DP-6 with the precision arm tube is $1,890 in the United States. Sorry, that's the price. |
