| Basis 2500, 2800 or Debut - which would you use? AJ Conti designed the Vector so that it could be set up by anyone with decent tt skills. You can buy setup DVDs from Basis in which AJ walks you through the tt and arm setups step by step. I'm not saying you would be able to do it as well as an ex... | |
| Recommendation for analog set for $700 I would go for the Music Hall MMF5.1 that Questforsound has up for $695. You will get a warranty and dealer support, that you definitely need unless you're really experienced with turntables. It comes ready to go with a cartridge and dustcover and... | |
| Help me discover some new music... I highly recommend you check out some classical music. Small-scale Mozart and Bach will sound great on your system. String quartets, violin/piano, violin/harpsicord/cello. They will sound fabulous on your system and there are tons of mint used rec... | |
| Finding Rare Vinyl I just listened to a couple of tracks on You Tube. They remind me of the Beatles and the Kinks a little bit. Interesting. Maybe I'll pick up one of their records. | |
| Does my acoustic ideology make me an outcast? An "outcast"? You could never be more of an outcast than the people who are into this hobby. Go to an audio show and you'll see what I mean. It will scare the sh*t out of you. | |
| Finding Rare Vinyl Won't sell IN the US? He's located in the US and the ad says he ships worldwide. Perhaps a miscommunication? I'll have to give a listen to that band BTW. | |
| Linn Unidisk 1.1 SACD Stereo Recognition Issue Perhaps you should post your question on the Linn Forum. They love that stuff. Also, try writing to Linn directly. They are pretty helpful. Good luck. | |
| Finding Rare Vinyl Here ya' go pal. Only $400. Jump on it before the world finds out. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beta-Band-Champion-Versions-12-EP-Extremely-Rare-NR-NM-CONDITION-/160939285611?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item2578ba9c6b | |
| Audioblock C 100 Haven't heard the player, but I have dealt with USA Tube Audio and they are people of their word. There is a show demo up at a greatly reduced price, so it pays to go for the home demo if the product intrigues you. | |
| What is the best transport? There is an article here that you might want to look at involving a shootout between a transport and a music server. Make of it what you will. http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-Digital.html#Comp | |
| Interconnect recommendations I would check to see if you can still get Black Mountain Pinnacle ICs. I am using them for both my analog and digital front ends and I prefer them to some much more expensive ICs that I own. They seem to be extrememly well balanced and just plain ... | |
| Japanese pressings/thanks to unknown collector I've purchased a number of Japanese jazz pressings and, while they were beautifully manufactured, to my ear, they sounded as if they were cut from inferior master tapes - perhaps some duplicates one too many generations away from the originals. I'... | |
| Hello Old Friend I love to pick up a mint or sealed copy of something I loved in my youth. Just brings me back to good times. Some of them include "Feel the Need" (Detroit Emeralds), "JT" (James Taylor)and "Funky Broadway" (Dyke and the Blazers). I just picked up ... | |
| Analog vs Digital Confusion I think that some people respond to vinyl and some don't see it. The only way is to try it yourself, but I don't think you need to spend a ton of money up front. When I decided to get back into vinyl, I purchased a Music Hall MMF-5 table for about... | |
| Need tonearm recommendations I am extremely pleased with the Vector arm and I highly recommend it if you can get one reasonably priced. I was never a fan of unipivots, but the Vector is totally stable and handles like a conventional arm. Also, it was designed to be properly s... |
