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... 
Classical music guide for LP
Doc,If you're interested in great recordings, regardless of repertoire or performance, Arthur Salvatore's list of LP's is pretty reliable, at least to my ears.http://www.high-endaudio.com/SR-DIVINITY.html

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...

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. It's been on my shortlist for months and actually became the arm of choice after I read the HIFI mod t... 
What LP shows what analog can do?
Eldartford,I fully understand the greater challenge presented by the wide dynamic range of classical, since that's all I listen to. Matt clearly understands this too, that's why he's looking for suggestions and not just buying anything. Since that...

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. 
Info on setting up a Morch DP-6
Hi guys,I've just gotten interested in Morch arms and stumbled across your "looking for help" thread. In my search for more information (could any site be less helpful than Morch's?) I found a Denmarck dealer's site. They have an English translati... 
Where does one place AQ sorbogel feet?
Vibrapods beneath my CDP sucked the life out of the music. Sorbogel footers beneath my Harmon Kardon/Rabco ST-8/ADC XLMII did the same. I'm 100% behind TheAudioTweak on this one: keep these things away from any component whose parts are designed t...
