| best high sensitivity full range speak under 15k For those interested I just posted a review of the Daedalus DA-1 both as a forum question and a review under the Learn zone. I'd be interesed in your thoughts. | |
| Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners Of all the artists in my record collection Joni is at the top of the list and "Blue" is my favorite. I understand we were THIS close to a DCC version on LP before they folded--the release was literally weeks away. I cried when I found out it wasn'... | |
| Best $500 cartridge? Dynavector DV-20XH? I have a Dyna 20XH, which I love, but rather than offer a blanket endorsement I would recommend that you consider what I believe to be the key issue in cartridge selection--how well it will work with your arm and turntable. Viewed as a record play... | |
| Thoughts on ARC SP16 preamp Love It! Using it with an ARC 100.2, which preceeded your unit. I'm all in favor of synergistic relations among electronics so pairing amp and pre from the same company makes good sense to me. You will be very happy if you decide to go with the SP16. | |
| Is anyone listening to Laura Cantrell? I'm from the NYC area so she is fairly well known via her show on a local radio station. Saw her at an outdoor concert a few years ago. I want to like her but feel she is seriously overrated. Can't really sing and her tunes are fairly uninspiring.... | |
| Most musical S.S. Amp under 2k used ? Though I have not heard many of the amps on your list my vote would be for the Audio Research 100.2. This amp has all the tubelike warmth and lack of grain you could ask for but will still drive reasonable loads that might give a tube amp some tro... | |
| Spendor vs. Von Schweikert? It is exactly the nature of the VR4JR sound that gets old and quick. The BBC sound has a slight dip in the upper midrange which relaxes the presentation and a completely uncoloured midband that makes them so listenable over the long haul. Ever won... | |
| Spendor vs. Von Schweikert? Chazro. I owned the SP100's for several years and only sold them when I moved the system to a room that couldn't handle their size. I've also auditioned the VR4JR's extensively. I'm always cautious with these types of things because so much is sys... | |
| I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy? Rushton--sorry, I misinterpreted. Certainly block or brick will not vibrate. However, I have always found it difficult to find anchor screws capable of holding significant weight in that type material. Supposing one could find screws to fix the ta... | |
| I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy? Slight quibble with Ruston here--while I fully endorse his claim that wall mounting is preferred when you have wood floor over joists, I would NOT recommend hanging the turntable shelf from the masonry. First, it flexes and vibrates when excited b... | |
| I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy? There are some really good and relatively inexpensive choices out there. My preference is for the VPI Scout/Scoutmaster but regardless of which table you choose the KEY issue is proper isolation. Any competent table will sound fantastic if you are... | |
| Trying to get back into Lps, I seem to be throwing I agree with the above regarding proper setup of the table and cartridge. There is one way to rule out a faulty setup--spin a few CD's. How does your system sound when you are using the digital playback? If there is a marked difference for the wor... | |

| Are first order crossovers best? I started a thread on this a while back which turned into a sometimes heated and very informative discussion. I'm no computer whiz so I don't know how to locate the thread and provide you with the link. But I bet someone, perhaps yourself Blindjim... | |
| Where do you buy "NEW/Current" LPs? Jameswei--I was at Princeton Records a few weeks ago. Man has that place changed! CD's are overwhelming what was one of the best used LP shops around. Sad to see. However, one thing certainly hasn't changed--the owner is still a total #@$%#@#@. |
