| My Next Miles Davis Disc? Someday My Prince Will Come and Something Else by Cannonball Adderley are your choices. | |
| Linn or VPI Elkyman,You have a point on who'll be here to back up the table years from now. That's why I suggested you go with a table as bullet proof as you can get. If Linn really was committed to analog why is it they haven't introduced any new products in... | |
| Linn or VPI I had a full boat Linn front end, went from an Arkiv to a Ruby 2 and then to a Basis 2500, Graham 2.2 and a Ruby 2. I prefer the Ruby in both arms because it tracks much better than the Arkiv, is a little warmer and is much cheaper to retip. Of co... | |
| Linn- Ekos or PS Audio 300 I have had all this gear at one time or another. The Lingo makes a big improvement in sound and gives you 45rpm. I'd go with the Lingo. You can't use the multiwave option with the PS if you plug your LP 12 into it. If you go with the Lingo now you... | |
| Linn Arkiv or Lyra Helikon? Your phono stage may tip the scales toward the Arkiv but consider a Benz Ruby. I had a full blown Linn like yours and went to the Ruby from an Arkiv. The Ruby is just a touch warmer and tracks the pants off the Arkiv. They are both fine choices bu... | |
| Cleaning vinyl - am I using this thing right??? I have used Torumat fluid and the VPI brush for years, on thousands of records, with my 16.5 with few problems. Use enough fluid to really get the record covered and scrub with the brush for 4-5 revolutions. Then use the vacuum tube for as many re... | |
| Watt Puppy 6 with tube amp. While I'm not sure I believe the 6's and 7's are an easier load than the 5.1's. The 5.1's have a nasty impedence curve that require some serious muscle. Don't use a 100 watt tube amp with the 5.1's. Why not simply arrange a home demo with your ARC... | |
| Cat SL-1 reference vs Sonic Frontiers line-1 I listen to mostly classical, about 90% vinyl. The ML doesn't have a bloomy midrange, but it has a smooth accurate one. The Wilson's have a tendency to be ruthlessly revealing so the 335's mid hall tonal balance is a good match. What I'm suggestin... | |
| Cat SL-1 reference vs Sonic Frontiers line-1 I have a CAT Ultimate and your speakers. I had a VT 100mk2 and switched to a ML 335. While the ARC amp was fine the 335 really made the Wilson's sing. A large inprovement in the bass control with little to no drawbacks in the traditional tube stro... | |
| Levinson 33h or 336? I have a 335, a CAT Ultimate and WP 5.1's. I'm very happy with them. I can tell you the 335 is a step above the 333 which I compared head to head. If you believe the advertising the newer dual mono single chassis amp's have improvements from what ... | |
| What is the best 6 piece sub/sat system under 2k? I have the Aperion Audio 5.1 system with the 12" sub. The sub is very large but the satellite speakers are quite small. This is a super home theater set up as long as you have adequate power, at least 100 watts per channel. The satellite speakers ... | |
| Toshiba 9200 or Sone 9000 for DVD HT I compared these two players side by side for progressive video performance only. Out of the box the 9200 was softer and the color intensity was down. This was on my ISF'd Elite 510. What was really strange was the 9100 I owned had the same color ... | |
| Amps for Wilson Watt Puppy 6.0? I have 5.1's and went from an ARC VT100mk2 to a ML 335. While I don't know if the 6's are the same, I can tell you it takes a massive tube amp to control the bass of the 5.1's. The ML 335 was a big improvement over the ARC, the VT100 just didn't h... | |
| CLEAN RECORDS WITH WHAT????? Goliverjr,The first time I used Torumat I bought a 16oz bottle. I suspect it's still available in that size. It's just cheaper to buy a gallon and keep refilling the smaller bottle. Of course, over the years I've cleaned maybe 3000 records and use... | |
| CLEAN RECORDS WITH WHAT????? Music Direct in Chicago, a measly $70 a gallon. But, a gallon cleans a ton of records. |
