| Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter. Using a home audio receiver isn't what I would consider "serious listening", but to answer your question, you won't go wrong either way. I have 4 subs in my main system, 2 are Rythmik, 2 are SVS. They're both great subs.I have 2 small systems in... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Santana - S/T, one of two copies in the free box. A little bit of surface noise, but it plays surprisingly well given the visual condition. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? That's awesome Jim! I'm playing the second record of the Coltrane compilation I mentioned yesterday. | |
| adding multiple subwoofers As long as your goal isn't to make people's bowels quiver when you play Deadmau5, you should notice a great improvement with the subs mentioned. I have 4 subs in my system and send the full signal to my mains. You didn't mention the size of your... | |
| MM Cartridge Recommendation The Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood is closer to your budget and a very nice cartridge and will work well with your table. And yes, it is easy to snap off the cantilever, so be careful. I like the sound of the Virtuoso better than the MP-500, which I a... | |
| What are your opinions of Sim Audio amplifiers? I have the 600i integrated and the 430HA headphone amp. Both pieces are keepers. The 600i is mated to Harbeth P3ESR SE speakers and it rivals my main system for enjoyment and sound quality.Keepers, unless I decide to try out a high end tube head... | |
| MC cartridges Not in the US, but seller kron here on Audiogon has a number of Dynavectors for sale. Grey market, so no warranty. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A friend gave me a box of records last night. On initial first look I thought they might all be heading to the garbage can but so far the first one I played seems to be in decent shape, other than that it needed a real good cleaning first.Talking ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I ordered another copy (different pressing) of Blues From Laurel Canyon from Europe. Taking one for the team... I'll report back. | |
| Auditioning headphones (ethically)? Buy used, try them out, and if you don't like them, flip them. If you don't overpay you should be able to get most or all of your money back.Headphones are a personal thing, definitely find out if the person selling is a non-smoker and consider b... | |
| First headphones and amp combo? I have about a dozen sets of headphones including some "high end" ones including Audeze LCD-4, Sennheiser HD800, and Sony MDR-Z1R. The Sennheiser HD6XX get more use than any of my other headphones. They are not the "best" sounding, but they are ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? That's interesting Joel. I wonder if that's a common issue? It seems like most of the copies available are in Europe and expensive. I looked at a few different versions on Discogs and couldn't find any comments about playback, but most versions... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Joel, I was disappointed by the John Mayall album. Not because of the content, but it was advertised as NM- by the seller, who had a 100% Discogs rating, but played more VG - VG+. It was clearly visually graded, because it did look perfect, but ... | |
