| Who Has the New Top Technics SL1200GRE? Does it blow your other expensive tables away? I sold mine pretty damn quick. Very inferior to my Linn LP12 + similar arm and cartridgeTatyana's emphatic preference could be the old debate of Direct vs Belt Drive. I was using a Linn/Valhalla/Ittok/VDH when I got my first good DD, a Micro Seiki... | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable @chakster And you just received it, yes? it’s beautiful, of course.But your mat is not like mine! Now I’m worried: it’s said to be "carefully engineered for the DP-80" etc. I don’t know how much that matters, but...Mine came with the table, from a... | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable I own a Dp80. It is perhaps too simple to say that the platter is spring loaded. The platter is two concentric pieces,an inner piece that is about the size of the record label or a little wider in diameter, and an outer which goes all the way out ... | |
| Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations? Joe Pass with Errol Garner, Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess.And Garner plays a CLAVICHORD. Its intimate sweet tone, and plucked strings, match far better to guitar than grand piano."Summertime" is sublime.On Pablo. You can sample on youtube, with allowa... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. A footnote to this important issue:We should just buy blow up dolls and be done with the whole inconvenient thing.You mean not everybody has just a blow up doll? How quaint.Roxy Music was 50 years ahead of you guys....I bought you mail orderMy pla... | |
| Forever turntable under $2000 ...for even less money, under $1000 if you’re lucky, vintage Denon DP80.Good suggestion Lewm. DP80 is my keeper. This is after LP12, Oracle Delphi, Thorens 124, 125, 126, Garrard 301, 401, Micro Seiki DQX1000, various Regas and Aristons. None comp... | |
| Luxman CL34: How does it compare today? I had the CL-34 and CL-35/III at the same time. Both were in immaculate condition, premium tubes in good shape. I invited a "jury" of Golden Ears to help me choose — a violist (Berlin Phil); the composer/performer of "The Emerald Forest" soundtrac... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I have only ever been to see Pollini perform once and it was in the seventies at City Halls Candleriggs in Glasgow. I even remember the program as it was so special because he directed from the piano Mozart's Piano Concerto no 24 Pollini's No 24, ... | |
| Tube Pre Amp or Tube Phono stage Why do you or any one needs sweet highs when live MUSIC at near field position where the recording microphones are seated never pick-up " sweet highs"? Makes no sense that you want to change the kind of sound of live MUSIC. Same for that other gen... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? And finally there is no consensus among audiophiles about what is the best of anything. (Just read the last ten posts on this thread.) So you can see that the situation in audio is much more complex than in designing aerospace devices, where you a... | |
| Slight increase of tracking force = Big Improvement A slight hardening of the suspension would require a slight increase in VTF, so that "cartridge coils will stay 'perfectly' centered", as Raul put it. You say "It didn't sound bad, it just didn't move me the way it had in the past." This seems con... |
