| Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if... Ed, in past times you were pretty enthusiastic about the DL-160 on the SL-1200, a little less so about the DL-103. How has that changed for you in the last 2-3 years.Since I discovered the SL-1200, I've found that, at least on bulletin boards and ... | |
| Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if... I think most 1200 users agree that the best upgrade for the Technics is the Sumiko headshell. At $40, it's also the most inexpensive.http://www.needledoctor.com/Sumiko-HS12-Headshell?sc=2&category=432I believe the fluid damper only makes a big... | |
| Cartridge Setup? Probably not. If memory serves, the Goldring has a fine-line stylus which digs deep into the grove (below most damage) which can result in quieter backgrounds than the Blue Point, which though very good, uses an ordinary eliptical stylus profile t... | |
| Allison 3 information, please If that's the case, then I'd start calling their dealers. There's a listing on the site. You never know...if the company did go belly up, they may have been stuck with some old stock they'd be happy to unload at closeout prices. Heck, I may do tha... | |

| Has anyone heard the New Primaluna Dialogue Two I just finished reviewing the DiaLogue One for Positive Feedback:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue36/dialogue_one.htm | |
| any BluRay players w/SILVER faceplate? I just finished shopping for one. The closest you will come to silver is Sony's $1,299 BDP-S2000ES. It has a blue-tinted front panel but the top panel is silver aluminum. Every other player I looked at -- Denon, Pioneer Elite, Sony, Sharp, Samsung... | |
| Best speakers for compressed audio Speakers aren't the answer. The only solution there would be to buy something with really low resolution so you can't hear how lousy the compressed file sounds. One option that some people hold in high regard is the BBE Sound Restoration System --... | |

| Best used DVD Player...Not interested in Blue R... If you can find one, the Pioneer DV-79Avi is excellent with audio and video. Plays anything you throw at it except for the new hi-res video formats and it is built like a tank. CGray market models can be had for around $500 new -- you may run into... | |
| Akai AP-003 Akai's turntables aren't highly sought after, and for good reason. I found some pictures and specs of the AP-003 online...looks like a lower-end, mass market design that's largely unexceptional. That's not to say it's horrible...if you just want t... | |
| Primaluna :Prologue 1 or 2 You'll get a little deeper bass extension and authority with the ProLogue Two, and perhaps a bit more detail, too. The ProLogue One has a lusher sound from top to bottom. I prefer the ProLogue Two because it gives me more flexibility. Replace the ... | |
| denon 160, AT 150, orton 540 mk2 or Grado Sonata? The DL-160 has a very big (some would say larger than life) and dramatic sound. Clear, fast, dynamic and with a very wide soundstage.The AT150 is a nice, clean MM but the top end can be a bit too bright for some and the low end a bit lean.The 540 ... | |
