Nora Jones- though my GF hates Rickie Lee Jones. 
Life As I knew in My Audio World Has Ended, Help
Same for me - no listening for quite some time - except my girlfriend and I are being evicted from our apartment. The hospital she works for has decided to evict all the employees living here in 60 days.So we don't know where we'll be living - not...

An Audiophile's journey
Philefreak, you should probably NOT listen to a modern OTL amp - some of your gear might end up back on audiogon. 
Details of Beatles Vinyl Master Recording BOX Set?
In the early 90's when everyone here in NY was getting rid of LP's amongs the thousands of LP's I bought from a local store (St. MArks Sounds) was an entire collection of Japanese OBI pressings, maybe 14 titles in all.I should compare them to the ... 
Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s
I think there is just something about a stand mounted small monitor (in my opinion a sub usually is needed) that works incredibly well.The small surface area of the monitor with space all around allows a disappearing and imaging act that is hard t... 
Which Record Cleaning Machine?
I think any loud RCM must be relegated to the back room of a store or for after hours cleaning with earplugs in to protect hearing.The only RCM I have seen at record stores are VPI's and they are used in back rooms.I think the visual aspect of hav... 
Are Digitally mastered LPs any better than CDs?

Atma-Sphere S-30 MK3
This year I took possession of new MA1 MKIII's (having lived with the original MA-1's for 17 years)I did not notice much of a break in. The difference from the (very) old to the new was evident immediately.I also didn't notice hot and cold listeni... 
Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps
Detlof,That would be a very interesting comparison, but I would urge you to hear the Atma's at their best. If you haven't already I would replace the filament fuse with a premium fuse. Such a nice improvement for around $75 total for the two fuses... 
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
The audiotweekInteresting finding - but of course we're talking fuses here, and your talking no protection at all.Confounding this entire topic is the use of contact enhancers like Walker SST and Quiksilver on the end of fuses, both standard and p... 
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
I have not read this whole thread so maybe some of this is redundant.I would say the results vary quite a bit. Obviously it also depends where in the circuit path the fuse lies as to how it will effect sonics (as well as the particular circuit as ...

I bought the Mint LP protractor recently but have not been able to yet do an alignment. Right now I keep swtiching carts so frequently since I had to send my Strain Gauge cart back to Soundsmith for an extra styli to be fit.I can't wait to get my ...
