| Old vs. New I am a big fan of vintage gear. Lot's of it (but not all) does sound warm, lush and less detailed than new gear. I believe that this is mainly due to three factors, listed in order of least to most importance:1- Newer phono cartridges are designed... | |

| Best way to record vinyl to digital? Well, after wasting the better part of this weekend plus several hours over the last two weeks, I am retiring Pure Vinyl v3. I just can't seem to get it to work reliably, and the documentation provided with the demo is almost useless.I will try so... | |
| Cartridge protractor- the best? If you have more than one turntable, several arms or change cartridges often a multi-purpose tool like the Clearaudio or the Feikert is a godsend.For simple alignment tasks or a single turntable, arm & cartridge combination, a simpler tool wil... | |
| Shelter 501 versus Soundsmith Zephr ? I have owned and used both the Shelter 501-II and Soundsmith SMMC1 cartridges your rig - Aries 1 and JMW10 arm. I was not fond of the 501-II stereo cartridge.JMW arm combination. It's not so much that it was bad, as there were other combinations t... | |
| used SET amp under $1500 suggestion As much as I enjoy SET amps (and I do!), I must agree with Jrinkerptdnet - moving to a SET amp for the reason you stated seems a little extreme to me. It might be easier to deal with the gain issue. But maybe your amp is just not a good match for ... | |
| LP Cataloging Software? Jnewl,I haven't heard of CD Trustee Professional, but I did try Kix Music Catalog, Catraxx and Collectorz Music Collector. IMHO they all suck; at least for LPs. The online music search catalogs simply take too long - there are either too many choi... | |
| Ideal SUT for Lyra Olympos cartridge? I have owned many SUTs over the years, from Cinemag to Audio Note and more. IMHO, SUTs built on the Hashimoto transformers sound best with the collection of MC cartridges that I have tried. I suggest that you contact John Parker at Choir Audio. Jo... | |
| Magnepan room treatment This is quite old, from 2003 or so, but I love the way this room looks. I can only assume that is also sounds good, knowing Peter Gunn's reputation as a Magnepan guru.Peter Gunn's Room Tweak | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Horns can work well in smaller rooms too, if you take care to carefully match the amp and speakers. I have used Belles in a room 10 x 12.5, and also Altec Lansing Model 14s in the same room. Works great, and may require less in the way of room tre... | |
| Denon DL-103R cartridge update You haven't specified a budget, and so you have several options at almost every price point. I love the DL-103R, especially mounted on my Thomas Schick arm. If you want to keep the "103" sound but just want more of it I suggest that you do as seve... | |
| Speakers for MC240/C22 For a budget of under $500 and with that nice vintage gear, I would recommend a pair of vintage speakers. It will be hard to beat a pair of Hereseys for bang-for-the-buck, and they are readily available for under $500. A pair of KG-4s shouldn't co... | |

| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... Ed,Dude, did I run over your cat or something? I apologize if I inadvertently besmirched one of your audio idols. But I would appreciate it if you would stop lecturing. As I have said previously, you don't know me or anything about me. Your assump... |
