| MH MMF 7,1 vs VPI "B" Stock Scout I have not had the MMF7.1 or the VPI Scout. However, I had the MMF-7 and upgraded to the ScoutMaster. The Scoutmaster outclassed the 7 in every way, which it should, considering the price difference. That said, the Scout is also a more expensive t... | |
| How many got back into vinyl post divorce? My wife & I have been together for 37 yrs. I tell her all the time that I love her more than ice cream & CD's. And I mean every word of it (-: | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? Rok2id. When I first came aboard, I had a 20 yr old system consisting of a HK 730 receiver, Magnavox CDB 650 cdp, Infinity RS 5000 speakers and a Dual 1237 TT. A decent system in its day, but not audiophile quality for the time. I don't have deep ... | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? Rok2id. Maybe those people who only own 5 albums really treasure the sound of those and want the very best reproduction system to hear them on. Some have deep pockets and can afford the gear. Many deep pockets also spend a lot of time working and ... | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? Isn't that akin to asking, Do you love taking road trips or do you love the automobile? Can you love one without the other? I've taken 500 mile road trips in a 72 Pinto wagon, a Yamaha XS11 Special motorcycle, a 1973 Chevy pickup truck, an 83 Buic... | |
| Carver sonic holography If I had to choose between the CSHG & a Bose Wave radio, I'd probably take the Bose. It's amazing that so many people here seem to like it. One of my biggest disappointments in gear was when I went to audition the Carver Amazing Loudspeakers. ... | |

| Great Lost Lps... Blkadr. I pulled the Jean-Luc Ponty- "Enigmatic Ocean" off the shelf and gave it a spin. Sounds good so far (side 1).There are several other albums that others have mentioned which have piqued my curiosity. Thanks for all the input from everyoneAn... | |
| Great Lost Lps... Crack the Sky - All their early LPs are excellent. The Beatles on SteroidsIron Butterfly - 'Metamorphosis". Early Psych at its bestAverage White Band - "Cut The Cake". This is their 2nd album which is as good or better then the 1st albumGreat subj... | |
| Help with Cartridge selection I'd have to agree with Bill & Dan ed. Your TT, arm and phono pre deserves much better cart than you have listed. One thought is that if you go with the Benz line, you may be able to pick up a factory rebuilt Ruby, Ebony or LP at a good discoun... | |

| MFSL Super Deep Cleaner or Enzyme? Thanks for the replies. Doug. I have wondered about the AIVS cleaners but haven't read much about them. Then too, I've been hanging out at the low budget vinyl forum where DIY seems to reign, Maybe I should change that since I generally come here ... | |
