| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? Bill I was talking about your tables and your comparisons. I was bringing it up again on purpose. Why? Basically for the exactly point in your last post. This is suppose to be fun. If you are willing to spend any amount to get the last degree out... | |
| Analogue-free system Streaming is cool. Every sit in room with someone streaming? Almost never listen to a whole song let alone a whole album. Its like channel surfing and spending all your time looking at the guide menu.Ever seen a digital library? You know the ones ... | |
| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? Tzh21y totally agree the system as a whole makes such a difference. Its so frustrating trying to compare turntables at any price category really. Its so hard to even find a place with 3 similarly priced turntables with the same cart and system. It... | |
| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? Tzh21yYeah hearing is subjective and you prefer the Scout. I seriously have to ask you do you not hear a bigger sound stage, more clarity and better dynamics of the Prime? Is it just the presentation you prefer?I have heard Aires setups and think ... | |
| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? The VPI prime is not just different than the Scout, its flat out better. You don't need to have great ears or spend several hours to figure this out. I have had them side by side.Anyway I don't think you will go wrong with any of these tables. I w... | |
| How good is the Technics 1200 Mk2 with all the KAb upgrades? From someone who has owned an entry level project, Original VPI ScoutCurrently I have a VPI Prime and a 1200mk5I would lean towards keeping the KAB 1200. Reasons is simply money. You will be looking at a Prime used to have something maybe a little... | |
| My experience with Galen Carol Audio Very professional seller. Bought my VPI Prime used from him. Items was exactly as stated and shipped to perfection. Very polite on the phone. I would not hesitate to buy through Glenn Carol again. | |
| So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ? I have a Soundsmith Aida MI. I have had the Dynavector 10x5 and had the 20x also. Heard some other MC all under 2k. Always thought they sounded thin and ultra detailed but lost the musicality.I think my current keeps most of the detail but has muc... | |
| Specific Pre-Amp advice all ashes over here Last weekend it was Tedeschi Trucks live and this weekend Keb Mo and Taj Mahal in concert. She bought our tickets for Keb Mo and Taj Mahal. I will make it somehow...... | |
| Specific Pre-Amp advice Well I did a ton of research.....A lot of the pre-amps mentioned here were definitely on my list. I started at looking at having my Exposure amp re -done with new caps and transistorsAnd actually I was also very torn about the Ultraverse. I was in... | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget Yes it is somewhat dicey buying used. My suggestions are. 1. Buy from someone with many sales and excellent feedback. 2. I would not buy an MC over $700 used. Its just too big of a risk. You have to figure out what your risk level amount 3. If the... | |

I also have the Soundsmith Aida on the prime. This is a factory rebuilt cart for half th... | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget Honestly you can't go wrong with that table at that price. 100% what I did. Does it mean that there are no other tables that are amazing or even better.... no But its a very solid construction, up-gradable, sounds very balanced and smooth, very go... | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget Whacky To be honest most people are just going to suggest what they have or heard. Problem is that many people never get to compare tables side by side in the same system. Also even if they do some carts work better with different arms, phono stag... | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget Yeah if a Prime is on your list that is about the best I have seen. There was one sold on another board by a guy upgrading and he sold it out of good will for $2400 which is the lowest I have seen to date. If its not on your list just skip it beca... |
