| A Newbie's First Week Impressions -- Vinyl Rules Have fun. It only gets more expensive from here.I had the MMF-5 for about 3 weeks before I upgraded to a Scout. If you want to see what Vinyl can REALLY do...well...it's a slippery slope, That's all I can say.Invest in a 16.5. You'll save money on... | |
| K&K phono stage Without question worth 2X what he's charging for it.I bought the kit a few years ago and built it in a weekend. It was a lot of fun, and sounded a LOT better than anything else I'd ever tried. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat for sure. | |
| VPI Scout vs. HW 19 Just keeping everyone in the loop...I bought a VPI Scout w and Aries 2 platter, JMW-9 Arm, and a Clearaudio Aurum Beta-S Wood cart. There are a few other mods to the table, but I'm sure it'll sound great. I spent about 2X what I was hoping to, but... | |
| A Newbie's First Week Impressions -- Vinyl Rules I considered the 16.5 an investment. I can pick up records for $4 that sound better than a $20 CD, so why not make sure that it won't mess up my cartridge, and will sound perfect every time. That's what a good record cleaning machine is all about ... | |

| VPI Scout vs. HW 19 This is going to be for my office system. I realized a few weeks ago that I've got a 10,000 rig at the house that gets 4-5 hours of use a week, and a 2,000 rig at the office that I sure 60hrs a week. We're moving in a month, and my new office is b... | |
| BAT VK60 or Conrad Johnson MV60? Yeah, that's what I've been thinking. The addition of the ballanced input would let me run the Wadia right into it...which would be cool... | |
| Wadia Factory tour I'm on my 3rd Wadia rig since becoming an 'audiophile' a few years ago. I started with the 12 DAC, then an 8/15 combo and now I'm up to a modifies 850 CD Player. I'll tell you that I'll NEVER own anyone elses digital hardware in my main system. yo... | |
| Review: Audio Experience Music MK3 Tube preamp This was my first "real" preamp a few months ago. After thinking I needed to spend googles of money on a new preamp, I kept going back to the MK3. I've lent it to friends and everyone returns it going "You paid HOW much for this?" It's worth twice... |
