XLR interconnects?
>>03-25-09: Dave_bI agree with you somewhat Atmasphere<<I'm sure Ralph will sleep well tonight knowing that. 
Scout vs. P5
Agree with John.Benz and Koetsu are not particularly well suited with VPI tables. Lyra, Dynavector, and Zyx are much better choices IMO.However, the 12.7 tonearm works reasonably well with Koetsu. Are they an ideal match? Far from it.Disclaimer: K... 
A question of bass... Several actually.

Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake?
I'm not trying to hide my "promotion" of the Mint LP. I am a very strong advocate of the device. I also have no financial interest in it if that's your implication.And I have no grudge; based on your posts it appears you lack the skills and/or und...

>>Muralman1, why don't you start a new thread discussion of the Fire preamp<<No need for that.If you read his posting history, that topic is discussed in each and every thread along with his system.It's the same old Scintilla, H2O, Fir... 
coincident speakers do you have troubadors
Let me add my $.02 as well. I've had both personal and professional associations with Joe. His integrity and honesty are beyond reproach.I'm not so sure about the other guy.

>>Sorry folks, but the Fire preamp I am using in my system was the Clear winner.<<Nothing to be sorry about; it's what you prefer but not what others may find more pleasing. It's subjective.Besides, you are incredibly biased. All one n... 
Upgrade Advice cart or phono pre amp
To a large extent it will depend on the tonearm you're using.For instance, if the Music Hall MMF-5 shown in your system is in fact the current tonearm, most $700 cartridges would be a waste of money.That arm is basically entry level and incapable ...

>>if anyone is interested, i believe i have a pair of the cbs 5814 which i will sell.Mrtennis<<Audiogon has classifed sections where your unwanted items can be listed for $6 per ad.Give it a try. 
Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake?
