| Downgrading from JC-1's...which amp should I get? You should add the Sanders ESL stereo amplifier to your list, which is the successor to the Innersound amp Ejlif is recommending. Very pure mids and enough juice to drive most speakers. | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion Has anyone compared the Mapleshade brass footers and the Isonoe footers? Which is better at isolation? | |
| Dynavector XV-1s set up My XV1s is tracking at 1.85g, load at 100ohms and its beginning to open up already after 8hours. In fact from the start it already sounded very good, it just got even better. | |
| Loricraft Record Cleaning The Loricraft is the best.There are some setup issues like Mark mentions, but once you get past the setup, its smooth sailing after that.It cleans better than the others, its more quiet, and it does not take longer. With the VPI or similar machine... | |
| Hi-End carts - pros After spinning a couple of sides, even from the first LP tracking at 1.85g, sure there was a bit of hardness at the start, but even then it sounds fabulous. The detail separation is amazing and the soundstage is huge (could also be attributed to t... | |

| Denon 103r ???? The stock 103R is a fine cartridge, lived with it for a year or so, but the Soundsmith retip with optimised line contact takes it to another league, not shamed in the company of multi-kilo buck carts. Both musically involving and detailed, able to... | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres Hi DougThanks for the invitation. I'll contact you once I've more definite details about my trip.Happy spinning. | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres DougYou could be entirely correct, but I was merely describing what I heard at that one demo, that's why I suggested he make a trip to Denver and listen to both TTs before deciding. Maybe that particular demo I heard wasn't representative, I don't... | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres Well the wood platter sounded very diffuse, whereas the acrylic (lead filled) and the Galibier produced much more stable soundstaging. | |
| Looking for a Phono Pre less than $1500 Aqvox phono MkII, but your arm has to be wired balanced. | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres My preference is for the Galibier range, or the Teres acrylic platters as I didn't like how their wood platters sounded.However, since you are keen on either range of TT, it would be best to pay a visit to both manufacturer's in Colorado and liste... |
