Benz Micro LP S vs Air Tight PC-1 w/ files
Dgad & Dean. Thanks for the responses. I have never known where this sampling of carts began & didn't know of Fremer's part in it. DeanI can understand where the recording of 2 different carts would be a great practice and very informative... 
Whats the best $1500 tonearm for a Teres
Thanks gentlemen for your encouragement about the arm. The OL seems to have its share of detractors and those who love it. I think the detractors do not like the inability to adjust all planes ie azmuth. I'm not a big tweaker so i may not find thi... 
Whats the best $1500 tonearm for a Teres
OK, I've settled on an arm. I am picking up a Teres 340 on Monday and have bought an Origin Live Illustrious III for it.This may not be the final arm on this table but it was all I could afford at this time since I've really stretched to get the T... 
Benz Micro LP S vs Air Tight PC-1 w/ files
I've never understood why someone would post a digitized sample of an analog cart/system that they want others to play over the cdp in their system and then think we are hearing the same thing that they have been hearing. The amount of variables i... 
Turntable in $155-2500 range
The TNT mentioned above is a good table as is the VPI Scoutmaster w/Signature arm. 
Whats the best $1500 tonearm for a Teres
DougI moved the Goldring over to the JMW-9 which comes with the Scoutmaster. It was a terrible match which surprised me since, according to specs it should have worked nicely. That is what made me wonder if it was a mismatch in the table and cart ... 
Whats the best $1500 tonearm for a Teres
Thanks for the informative answersFWIW, my question was spawned from my experience with an upgrade from an MMF-7 to a Scoutmaster. I had a Goldring Elite cart which had performed very good on the 7. However when I put it on the SM, I was very disa...

Will a Conrad Johnson fan like Modwright LS 36.5
Downunder, I'd love to have the ART but I think it is probably out of my budget.......................well, unless you are feeling generous and could make me a good deal. I'd promise to give it a good home. (-:BTW did you mean to say that you like... 
Will a Conrad Johnson fan like Modwright LS 36.5
Decisions decisions. I've been lusting for the CJ 16ls for some time. Even though it doesn't have the teflon caps, I've heard nothing but good stuff about it. I'm just now getting the budget for it so maybe one will come along. I'd love to hear th... 
PS Power Plant or Alan Maher PE's?
Nsgarch. thanks for your reply. I am 100% with you in the importance of asking the right questions.I may speak to the power company as well since I think this situation is somewhat ridiculous. Yes, I live in the mountains, but I live in a town of ... 
PS Power Plant or Alan Maher PE's?
Nsgarch Thanks for your info. I do have a few questions however. How will the apc power supply effect the sound? Would I be better to not leave my amp and sub woofer on? I can't turn off the preamp because it has no on/off switch so that presents ... 
PS Power Plant or Alan Maher PE's?
Dopogue, I have not discounted PC's but I think I should probably start at the source. I have auditioned one big name PC and I couldn't hear any difference at all. That said, I'm still not a naysayer. I used to be until i was forced to put in a de... 
PS Power Plant or Alan Maher PE's?
Thanks for the clarification Tvad. I didn't take it as too critical. It mirrors my experience. I've exchanged emails with Alan and have come away more confused than helped. That's not meant as a slam on Alan. On the contrary, I could not understan... 
PS Power Plant or Alan Maher PE's?
Wow. A post disappeared. Was it removed by the author or by the mod? I didn't see anything wrong with it. Anyway, thanks for the replies so far
