| Value of inexpensive linestage preamps? "With used, you still have your few hundred dollars, just in preamp form." LOL, but true. If it doesn't satisfy you you can probably sell for pretty nearly what you paid. | |
| Value of inexpensive linestage preamps? I don't have any experience with DIY, but you might consider a used c-j PV10 or PV11L. They show up here pretty often. (My PV11 will probably show up here next year, but you probably don't want to wait that long!)Either of these would give you a s... | |
| Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver? mejames, the cats ignore most music except very energetic bass. The old cartridge (ADC XLM MkII) did pretty decent bass but the cats rarely noticed. They occasionally look up when a CD really whomps, but not often. When the Shelter reproduced real... | |

| What LP shows what analog can do? Dekay recommended 45 rpm LP'sRcprince recommended Firebird/Dorati/Mercury/Classic RecordsThe 45rpm version of this reissue demonstrates what vinyl is capable of as well as anything I've heard. It's glorious, although the break between sides 1 and ... | |
| Is vinyl dead ? Psychicanimal, I wasn't joking him for having regenerators. I have the poor man's equivalent, Exact Power EP15A. The joke was spending major bucks to seperate digital from analog, then posting that digital was superior. That's truly funny.Vader, L... | |

| Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver? Thanks 4yanx. I have NO doubts this rig will blow my current one away. (For $6K+ it had better!) I'm not at all unhappy about going with the OL.

| What LP shows what analog can do? Matt,Lot's of responses but few if any classical, which you were "sort of" looking for. Arthur Salvatore has a pretty mammoth list of LP's he thinks are worthy. I haven't heard but a handful of them, but every one I have listened to has been a kil... | |
| Is vinyl dead ? Vader007,Looking at your system I note that you, "have two power plants to seperate analog from digital" (your words). Let me guess, you did this to protect your nice digital music from those analog nasties? ROTFLMAO. |
