| Greg Lake RIP I'm very sad to read this. I never had a chance to see ELP or Greg Lake. The last time he was in my neck of the woods a couple of years ago, he was supposed to appear with Keith Emerson. They got into some kind of snit just before show time an... | |
| Recommend your best sounding LP's Getz & Gilberto is an absolute must. My copy of Passport Blue Tatoo is superior and I've used the MFSL of Donald Fagen's Nightfly as a reference album for years.Have fun and happy listening! | |
| Cartridge Recommendation The DV 17D3 is at the lower end of the stated range for the Clarify arm. As you note, it can be a tricky set-up because of the super-short cantilever, but the results are worth it. You could consider the XX2 Mk. II; it is only a bit above your b... | |
| If your not watching the series Sounbreaking you should be Programming like this is precisely why I contribute a few hundred to our local PBS station every year. Simply outstanding. I may even buy a copy of the BD to pass along to a couple of those deprived children who only know how to stream video on ... | |
| How Do Left & Right Brains Like AT ART9 vs Dynavectors 17D3, XX2, XX2mkII vs Ortofons I've run the ruby-cantilevered Karat 23RS, diamond-cantilevered Karat 17D3 and now run a XX2 Mk. II. The catch with the Karats is that they have hyper-short cantilevers and don't play well with some tonearms. They are also very low mass (~5 gram... | |
| Tools boutique quest. Have you tried Techni-Tool? They were a customer of mine that specializes in electronics assembly and repair supplies for PCB manufacturers. | |
| Pioneer out of mothballs. If you mean an SX-1280, no. It does not accept a digital input. You would have to run a 3.5mm to L/R RCA connector from the analog audio out of the computer to the auxiliary input of the receiver. Good luck & happy listening! | |
| Potential Tax Liability +1 Al. Coordinate with the executor of the will regarding valuation. Also note that if the inheritor was a named beneficiary for those items in the will, then it may be that the inheritance passed tax-free and may be disposed of without liability... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? King of Swing volume 1. Benny Goodman, Harry James, Lionel Hampton, Gene Krupa, Teddy Wilson. Columbia mono. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. Simon and Garfunkel. Columbia stereo first press. Both most impressive. | |

| Your first component that was "special" Rega Planar 2 with a Dynavector Ruby 23MR. Opened my ears right up, that combo did. | |
| MAC's MP100 Phono Pre-amp While the C2300 has one of the best phono sections ever made (both MC and MM, BTW), it took forever to warm up. Like 3 hours. By the time it was ready to rock, I was ready to roll... right into bed. I just don't have enough free time to deal wi... | |
| MAC's MP100 Phono Pre-amp You don't say what you have for a table/arm/cartridge but FWIW, I ran a C2300 with the MC302. It was an absolutely outstanding combination in my application. In many ways, I wish I still had the 2300 in my system, but I had to compromise somewhe... | |
