| Brentworth Type III The Brentworth Type III was savaged by Art Dudley in Listener a few years ago. Haven't heard it myself, but can't remember a more damning review. You might want to check it out. | |
| Purist Audio & Stereophile Flex, read the posts again (Mt 10425). | |
| Purist Audio & Stereophile There are a zillion other cable manufacturers not mentioned in Stereophile either. So what? | |
| would you bother? With vinyl, you won't WANT to FF and skip to the next track.And even if you do, it's a small price to pay. | |
| Will Magnetic Tape Eventually Go Full Circle Buscis2, vinyl is a LOT more convenient than R-R tape. To play the second "side," you have to run the tape all the way through. To find a specific track anywhere on the tape, good luck. If you're not prepared to sit through both sides of the tape ... | |
| Will Magnetic Tape Eventually Go Full Circle Some relevant factoids (specific to reel-to-reel rather than cassette):* On the Yahoo reeltoreel forum, someone is floating the query/concept of producing a new reel-to-reel deck, and getting positive responses.* I've bought at least 30 prerecorde... | |

| What Cart. for a Infinity Black widow Hi. The name is Dave Pogue, but that was taken here at Audiogon, so I'm stuck with initials. Haven't you changed the frame of reference here. Rwwear? I thought the comparison was simply between a new top-line Shure (which you called "mechanical") ... | |
| My vote for Tweak of the Week Yes, that certainly does sound like a high-value tweak. We'd better hurry before the inevitable price rise occasioned by the flurry of orders the manufacturer can now expect. | |
| What Cart. for a Infinity Black widow Rwwear, believe it. If a Shure V15xMR sounds "mechanical" in your system, I wouldn't blame the cart. | |
| Is my 1988 Nakamichi OMS-1 worth repairing? IMO, there is no 1988 CD player worth repairing. | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? A Sylvania-branded 2040, which of course is really a Magnavox, which of course is really a Philips. By whatever name it was barely listenable, and yet better than others of the same vintage. Truly the Dark Ages of audio. |
