Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
I've recently changed to use the Denon A11 (5900 Asia model) as my digital source, with a stock power cord, power supplied by a PS Audio P300. The A11 universal player is sited on 3 DH Jumbo points and 3 DH squares which all but lifted its perform... 
Contact info for Galibier
From the URL, when I click on the e-mail icon my computer automatically goes to a disconnected e-mail service related to my work; I can't figure out how to change that, so I am unable to contact them.Clink on "Tools", Internet Options, Programs, t... 
Top turntables?
I'm very happy with the Scheu DL2 + Music Maker Conductor tonearm. 
Are projector screens transparent to sound?
I've seen many screens, but after viewing a Stewart, nothing comes close, that's why its the industry standard. Of course its not cheap, but you get what you pay for. 
Are projector screens transparent to sound?
If you want acoustically transparent screens, then you would have to consider:http://www.stewartfilmscreen.com/micropx2.htm 
new loricraft user / solutions questions
To add on, I think what matters more is the cleaning technique. I now prefer to continue brushing the LP just outside of the arm as it moves outwards, continuing the brushing right to the edge of the LP.Another thing is, I try to clean every LP si... 
Great bass from a linear tracking arm?
I have no problems with the bass on the Cartridgeman Conductor with either the AT 33PTG or the DL103R. It matches my Schroder model 2 in that aspect. 
Breaking in a new cartridge,..Denon DL 103 R.
Start off at 2.5g VTF. Break in should be relatively short. I heard a gradual improvement, but the cart basically sound good out of the box. Break in is short. 
What happened to Linear Tracking Turntables
Not all air-bearing linear trackers are very complex. The Conductor arm by the Cartridgeman, is an example of an air-bearing with a low pressure pump, thus getting around the problems of high pressure systems. 
Phono preamp & Cartridge? for Sota Millennia/SME 5
How about the Manley Steelhead/ASR Exclusive + Jan Allaerts MC1B/MC2 Finish. 
Armboard material of choice.
I think its best to stick to the same material as the plinth. Mine are all black acrylic. Metals might ring, so I would stay away from those. 
If boulder is tops what is second tier?
hahaha $30k for a phono preamp, irregardless of how good it sounds, its silly money.There are plenty of good phono stages around with the resurgence of vinyl. I suppose this thread took a turn with the mention of Boulder, which actually isn't what... 
Upgrade Denon 103 R to Shelter 501 II?
The Denon 103R is a killer cart at a killer price. The poor man's Koetsu. While it may not have the frequency extension of some of the newer carts, what it gets right - the midrange and the PRaT, many carts just don't cut it.As for matching tonear...
