| 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. ... | |
| I want to upgrade, But , to which table ? I've recently seen VPI Scoutmasters going for the $1500 range. I've had both the standard and the Signature edition. They come with the JMW9 arm. The Sig is better and more pricey. But the Standard is a good table also and will better the scout by... | |
| 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... | |

| 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... | |
| knoxville Hi TonyUnfortunately, no. I am willing and able but have never heard from anyone concerning a time and place. I suppose I could host but i am in Kingsport which is 1 1/2 to 2 hrs from Knoxville and about the same from Asheville, NC. I assume I am ... | |

| 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 ... | |
| Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2? Thanks hifidaddy | |
| Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2? Thanks JohnThe arm is the version 3 just previous to the carbon fiber arm wand. After re-reading some info on the OL, I am in agreement with you that it should not be dismissed easily. I guess i was feeling somewhat insecure about it and needed re... | |
| Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2? Thanks Doug. Ill check that out alsoBTW I snuck in the first Scoutmaster I owned. The MMF-7 which it replaced was black and so they looked similar from a distance. I was waiting to see how long it took her to catch it. Unfortunately, I forgot abou... | |
| Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2? Dan Ed? A question about your equipment racks. The racks are fashioned after the ones on Chris Brady's site I believe. Are you using a sand box under each component as shown on Chris' site?Thanks |
