Stepping up from Rega 25 - suggest used turntable?
Hi Zulla,How about a suspended Basis? I hope I am not out of line by posting this but I am selling one that I have and it is well below your price point. Your 600 would fit but would need a simple modification by Basis. Basis are very simple but w... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Thanks for your kind words, Artar. I like the 10t's also, but they are power hogs and have pushed tube amplification out of consideration. It can be done, but not at price I can afford.I completely agree with the fact that the turntable makes the ... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Yes, Raul. I could use a better cartridge, but I chose not to at this time. I am not unhappy with the performance of my analog system in the least. As a matter of fact, I think it sounds fantastic. My intent is to learn, as you sometimes say, for ... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
So as not to totally trash the product, MDF does have uses in audio, speaker cabinets for example. And there are also different formulas for MDF. But one should be judicious in where it is applied. As a former owner of a MDF-based TT I completely ... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Hello Artar1,I read your post a few entries back on constructing a rack using sandboxes. FWIW, I have just completed doing a project just like this and have posted pictures on my system page. I borrowed the concept from Chris Brady's web page and ... 
Anyone try thr new Sirius satellite radio system?
IMHO, it sounds like a well tuned FM station. That's it. And don't fall for the "commercial free" pitch. They have them and the number of commercials is increasing. Now that Howard has inked his deal they will have to make alot more money than jus... 
What's Wrong With My Cartridge/Setup?
Hi Brian,Good to hear you're making progress. Now that you have narrowed the issue, I would suggest keeping as many things constant in your system as you continue to trouble shoot. So stay with the CJ for the time being and concentrate on the tabl... 
What's Wrong With My Cartridge/Setup?
I tend to agree with Dopoque and Herman. Something doesn't sound right based on my experience with the V15VxMR. If I understand correctly, both phono stages and the Shure are pretty new so there may be a chance that things need to break in more. T... 
RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
4yanx,I understand your point. I did not intend to imply that I have this concern with the AIVS second phase cleaner, just that I know RRL SVW is a very good last step. But I do intend on testing this very thing between the two products. Maybe, as... 
MM cart. Recommendation
I'll second the Shure V15VxMR. Really hard to go wrong with this cartridge and you get the added benefit of being able to remove the stylus without removing the whole cartrige. I found this of great importance when cleaning, moving or modifying an... 
RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
I'm not sure I want to give up RRL completely. I have some AIVS coming and can't wait to try it based on the results posted by the testers. But I suspect that after a good cleaning with the two step AIVS process that the RRL will work fine for mai... 
New Graham Arm "Phantom"
I thought I remebered hearing that Bob was in Italy (?) a few weeks back debuting the new arm. If that's true it would be nice to hear from someone who has heard the Phantom. Maybe only The Shadow knows. :) 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm

Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long
So DougDeacon, does that rate a "Hiho, Silver. Away!" or a "live long and prosper"?
