Mellencamp vs. Seger vs. Springsteen
Bdgregory-Not claiming Mellencamp-Seger-Springsteen are the best all time songwriters. During the late 70's-late 80's these 3 produced some of there best and most popular works. IMO it's a close call which artist was the best during this period. D... 
AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9
Fjn04-Have an Allnic H-1200. 
AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9
Fjn04-My goal was around $5k for tt/arm/cartridge which i'll probably exceed(lol)! The Avid and AS retail at $4500(no arm) but discounts can be found. One retailer has a new P9 for $3995 so I expect the price(s) to fall even more as the RP10 is un... 
AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9
Fjn04-I think i've read every review regarding the Rock 7. I just think at this price level a seperate power supply and speed control should be standard, not a $1900 option. Rega is now taking pre-orders for the flagship RP10 in the UK. Rega has r... 
AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9
Roscoeiii-Having read your other posts I assume you own the Townshend Rock 7? Is it true that the standard motor is very power cord sensitive? Does the standard motor use a wall wart as a power supply? These possible issues had swayed me away from... 
AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9
Pani/Manitunc-Thx for your response. The Diva 2 i'm considering is the SP model. Which has a 6.3kg platter vs. 2.5kg it also adds speed control. I would never expect a basic Diva to outperform a P9.

Kayne West can keep going west until he's between LA and Honolulu! 
Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers?
I agree with a horn speaker system or large Tannoys. Another possibility is the Jamo R909 that is moderately efficient. I know it needs a big room and would benefit with more power and current, but you probably could get by with the Luxman dependi... 
Budget system for Rock and dance Music?
New Klipsch RF-82($1200)retail and a used Denon DRA-CX3($500-$600). With a discount on the Klipsch $1500 is possible. 
Why no as many post about music vs equipment......
Coffee1-I hope your making a poor attempt at satire! 
Best reasonably priced classic hi-end tuner
Onkyo-T9090-the mk.2 version has a remote. Not sure which model has the better sound. 
What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's?
Noticed not one mention of You Light Up My Life by Debbie Boone. Other religious based songs include Day By Day-Godspell(Robin Lamont)and Hand In The Hand-Ocean. Mr.Greenbaum wasn't the only one to cash in on the Jesus craze! 
JBL lovers
The JBL L110 was the first audiophile speaker I had ever heard. I was blown away with the sound quality but this speaker($800?)was out of reach for a 15 year old. Probably went to Tech HiFi 3 or 4 times just to listen(lol). A couple years later I ...
