| Time to Uncork that '55 Metzner? Hi Mario b,I would not make the alteration to your vintage turntable. I would recommend that you buy a "Herbie's Way Excellent" mat, or something like Living Voices or Boston Audio carbon fiber mats. I have used the Herbie's and Living Voices. Bot... | |

| Best interconnects for AYRE gear ? Hi Frankpiet,I would recommend Purist Audio Design. I am using Venustas, and they are the best interconnects that I have tried.Good luck,Mark | |

| I miss my Rega turntable. What to do? Hi Hodu,It's your money, and your decision. I agree the Rega is the better choice. What is the cost differential to trade? You might want to look at this as an alternative: http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgtabl&1146796163Good Luck,Mark | |
| Turntable help Hi David,So your budget is $1100-$1600? I have not heard the Clearaudio, but own the Linn and have heard the Rega and VPI. While the Linn could be set up very well, I think the VPI is the best sound for your money. If you wish to play 78's, I thin... | |
| SACD Player Shootout Hi Currient11,Thanks for taking the time and effort to correct the oversight about which unit your group compared, and for being responsible enough to have the original review corrected. I am with Puremusic on this one, with both my own personal e... | |
| Best Interconnect to use with APL/Denon 3910 Hi Everyone,Thanks for all of the suggestions. Let me update you on what I have done:I have tried Harmonic Technology Magic Link One and Purist Audio Venustas from the APL to the Preamp. The Venustas are very good and the cable to beat. I also bou... | |
| SACD Player Shootout Hi Curriemt11,Thanks for the thoughtful review. Do you have information on the APL modification, if the unit had the currently used AKM - D to A converters in it? I had the similar concerns with mine until the AKM DACs were installed. Now it is gr... | |
| budget table brain buster Hi Balthus,I would not necessarily concur that you should stick with what you have. I believe that the Rega Planner would be a significant improvement, and if you buy here used, and sell yours used, you will probably be into it for $200-$300 diffe... | |
| Best Turntable: Acoustic-Signature, Amazon Refere Thank you all for the good dialog that is taking place. I have a Linn LP12 (that I bought new in 1979). I have upgraded it with a Cetech chassis and Graham 2.2 tonearm, but would like to go farther. I have been looking hard at the Galibier Gavia, ... | |
| budget table brain buster Hi Balthus,I would be real cautious about making such a small incremental change. I have not heard the Project table, but I could not live with the Music Hall. I would recommend looking at a Rega Planner 3 with a Rega 300 arm or better. They are i... | |
| Best Turntable: Acoustic-Signature, Amazon Refere Hi Darkmoebius,Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't have $60,000 to spend for my entire system. I do believe at least one of these tables is capable of the perfomance of the Walker. I am hoping to hear for the experience of the Audiogon members ... | |
| Best Turntable: Acoustic-Signature, Amazon Refere Hi Bkonig and Docsavage,Thanks for your feed back and comments. I am looking forward to your review Doc.Thanks,Mark |
