Well Tempered Amadeus
Hi Tbg, sounds like you know exactly what you need. Can't argue with that. Did you try one of those universal lifts on the Shindo? 
Well Tempered Amadeus
Clarification, Samtse....the finger lift is standard. The "option" for some has been to remove it, and just cue using the arm wand itself. It actually is easy to maneuver in that fashion. I can see where some people would still prefer to cue with ... 
Well Tempered Amadeus turntable, giant killer?
Lewm, good advice, although, the Amadeus is quite different (for the better) than the WT Reference. Tell your friend to go have a listen. 
Amp for Harbeth P3ESR
Sam, you're good either way.... 
Anybody have some experience with Bedini amps?
Oh, that's right, hello again! Hey, if you prefer the 8tc that's fine. I just thought the DNM to be much cleaner sounding. Have you a chance to try Auditorium from Germany? or one Diapason user also suggested LAT, which I've never experienced. 
Anybody have some experience with Bedini amps?
It's getting very difficult to find capacitors that match perfectly, you'll need four. You might try Mogami, DNM, Totem. 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
Why won't this thread go away? What about all the women and gay audiophiles, what about their spouses, boyfriends,etc...The hobby needs to get out of this boys club mentality. 
Anybody have some experience with Bedini amps?
Yes, the news is that Bedini is gone....the website is still up, but no one has answered a phone in months, and no response to emails.It's rather unfortunate, because you see Bedinis for sale on ebay or here, but you'll no longer be able to get th... 
Salk Songbirds or Totem Arros for bedroom system?
Yes, the Arros like some power (current) behind them. Naim does sound great with them. I would like the Arros for your purpose for their size-small footprint yet good height for laying in bed! what amp do you have?No experience with Salks. 
New LFD Zero LE mkIV
Dear Notec, why arrogant? I would think "sound" or " music" aspect most important. I think he should be applauded. If he had a fancy faceplate the price would go up accordingly. Perhaps you need to consider another piece of gear altogether.And dea... 
Amp for Harbeth P3ESR
Sam, can't have a journey without getting em out of the box! kind of like going to Paris without boarding the plane.....so enjoy that great Harbeth sound. I guess they do indeed sound like a box speaker... 
Amp for Harbeth P3ESR
Sam, why do you think using a sub is going to open the midrange? (whatever that means) It's fine already. Perhaps you're needing a source or gear change? 
Graham Phantom DV XV-1s setup question
Hi, anywhere between 1.9 and 2.0 always seems preferred. Stop overtracking this cartridge! It's insanity at its best. Also, 100 hrs breakin time is the rule. Keep playing, knock off the insane overtracking, and you'll be fine. Sorry, no experience... 
What is a good spartan turntable set up?
You are totally on the right track if you buy the Rega P3, buy a high output dynavector cartridge, which i think is $450, you need a spacer ring for the collar which is so simple I can do it, and you will beat anything listed above. Agreed with ab...
