Has anyone heard Rega's Isis CDP?
Bobheinatz,You have gotten the point. Certainly all 3 systems were different and in different rooms. Those variables play a part of what I heard. It would seem to me that is a given to any audiophile worth his merit be it at a show, in a store, or... 
Has anyone heard Rega's Isis CDP?
I think Rega makes the Isis in a tube and solid state version. Check out their website under Industry Directory here on A-Gon's home page. I heard the tube version at RMAF 2010 with Wilson's Sophia 3s. I thought it was the best digtal I have heard... 
Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference
I recommend you call Jay @ Revelation Audio in Carlsbad, CA. Nice guy and he carries both lines I believe.Mark 
Analogue synergy
I do not see any issue in using the Brinkmann/Tri-P Arm in combination. The Tri is built to be used with any TT on the market. If you have a synergy issue it might be with the Koetsu cartridge which probably is sweet, musical, and a little dark fo... 
Well Tempered/ Stanalog gone?
To my knowledge, Stanalog no longer exists or at least no longer has proprietorship over WTT. I believe Bill Firebaugh took the name back and now markets a new version of his table. I used to own a WTT CLassic and repeated calls to Stanalog for an... 
Esoteric MG-10 and MG-20 speakers
I do not own either Esoteric speaker. I have heard them at several shows in the Esoteric room and I agree with Bjesien. They are very detailed and with a bad electronics match might be too bright. Be aware that even the MG20 is a small speaker wit... 
Turn table set up
Hifigary is correct. Brooks is a great dealer to contact. BTW, he is a member of the Los Angeles Audio Society. 
Help with Cartridge selection
Greg,You are getting some good advice here. You have built a nice system and you have an excellent table. I'm not certain why you are aiming a little downscale -please readers don't jump all over me for saying this - for the cartridge. Raul could ... 
Turn table set up
If all else fails Neyloj2, you might contact the Los Angeles Audio Society. They are a huge group with many mfgs and retailers as members. I feel certain that someone could get you expert advice. 
This is Too Funny Vinyl is Still King
I think I have seen this clip before. As I have said so many times before at this very site, I continue to have friends over to my place and of course they want to hear the TT set-up, many of those friends for the first time. They are wowed by the... 
Record Clamps, which one and why?
Clamps will change the sound of your playback provided you have enough resolution in your system to hear the changes. There are so many that I hesitate to tell you which one to use. Some high-end table makers prefer NO clamp. They feel that clamps... 
Clearaudio Statement and Walker
The Clearaudio's sound is about $100K more expensive than the Walker. Just kidding.........sort of. I am very familiar with the Walker sound, somewhat so with the Clearaudio. The CA is on the cool side of neutral. The Walker is on the warm side of... 
LP Cleaning brush
I believe the Walker Brushes are meant to be used against the rotation of the record. I have not used them with the record rotation, although apparently Rushton is indicating that he does so additionally. I also use them on their edge as well whic... 
LP Cleaning brush
I use Lloyd Walker's 4 part cleaning system which is supplied with very good directional felt-like brushes. The brushes can be purchased without the rest of the cleaning system if you are not using the Walker Prelude Cleaning Kit. I use VPI's reco...
