| Shelter 501 mk 2/ ZYX R100H Daemon...I was wondering which cartridge you ended up getting...or if you've gotten one yet....calgarian | |
| Isolation device under Ayre CX-7e? I currently own the Ayre C-5xe (instead of the CX-7e) and called Ayre recently regarding isolation devices. The technician I spoke to recommended the Arye (Cardas) Myrtle wood blocks, as other have mentioned previously. He also recommended that th... | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? Madonna's self titled Debut in 1983. She's probably one of the top selling female artists of all time...and still going strong. Currently spanning a career of over 20 years, she's had a huge impact on the pop music scene.calgarian | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? Keane - Hopes and Fears - A Stunning debut IMHO (if you've not heard this CD, buy it now!)Cyndi Lauper - She's so Unusual - 80's icon - Hugely Successful debutFat Parrot - Alanis Morrisette's Jagged Little Debut is not her debut album; prior to th... | |
| PAD Venustas For those who have had owned both the Venustas ans Dominus interconnects, can you tell me the differences between the sound characteristics of both cables? How does the Dominus improve on the Venustas? Does the Dominus maintain the seductive midra... | |
| Canadian Musicians Check out Chantal Kreviatzuk....Very well known in Canada, not so well known in the US. Better known for her song writing than her singing...her older cd's are better than her newest cd released this year.Hey...Nelly Furtado is Canadian too! I saw... | |

| Best bang for buck in HT speakers under $1,500 I'd give the PSB's a good listen. PSB's are a very good, Canadian made speaker which offer great value for the dollar. B&W's are nice, but I think you have to spend a bit more money to get the same quality of sound as the PSB's. Unfortunately,... | |
| Analogue Synergy....Which is the best Cartridge? OK...assuming I end up purchasing the VPI Scout with the signature 9 arm, would the ZYX Bloom be a better choice of cartridge vs the Shelter 501? The Shelter is a bit more expensive than the ZYX Bloom. I've not heard many cartridges, but a refined... | |
| Analogue Synergy....Which is the best Cartridge? Thank you everyone for your overwhelming responses! Dougdeacon: I'm pleased you concur with my choice of phono preamp. Originally, I was going to go with a fairly simple phono preamp like the Project, Rega, Creek, Bellari, or Grado units, but opte... | |
| Analogue Synergy....Which is the best Cartridge? Thank you for your recommendations. To be honest, I've never heard of the brand zyx (shows you how new I am back into the vinyl scene). I checked out the for sale items on audiogon and the prices of their cartridges are over 3x the prices of the o... | |
| Record Cleaners / RCMs So I've decided I'm going to buy an entry level RCM and get my hands one the Zerodust and Magic Eraser as well for stylus care. One final question...Do I get the KAB EV1 for the Nitty Gritty Model 1? My central vacuum connection is conveniently lo... | |
| Record Cleaners / RCMs Thank you for your responses. Interestingly enough, when I acquired my Linn Axis, my dealer had given me the semi-abrasive green mylar squares to clean my stylus. I'm not sure if they ever were effective or not. I don't think the green pieces coul... | |
| whats the best styus cleaner gel In regards to the Mr Clean Magic Eraser...Do you guys use it dry or do you wet it with water (distilled water) first? calgarian | |
| What is the best $1000 CD Player? I agree with Coffeey. The Arcam cd92 is a killer cd player on the used market. Combine the CD92 along with the 'de mat' rubber cd mat, and the cd playback approaches that of my newly acquired Ayre C-5xe! I've also read good things about the Rega A... |
