Anyone heard Celious Technologies 6 speakers
I own the Cerious Too/Bass units - I don't think there is a Cerious 6. Ceramic cabinets are I feel are one of the true innovations in speaker technology in recent years. I just heard another Ceramic type speaker- The Scaena's which also use Cerami... 
Have the Joe Jackson Look Sharp Album - Any Good?
I have been reading that Vinyl Lovers are all from CD or digital transfers. 
Has Anyone Bought A Galibier Serac TT Yet?
I so wanted to buy the Serac several years ago, but it didn't become available until just recently. The final price is higher than was anticipated back when I first read about the plan for releasing it, but it still represents an excellent value I... 
Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps
Has anyone seen the new review of M-60 and MP3 in Absolute Sound?I am still waiting for my issue to come in the mail.BTW I use PS Audio Duet on my MA-1's. My MP-1 is plugged into Poew Plant Premier. I have always used the Duet on the MA-1's. I use... 
turning my system on during lightning storms
I live in a highrise 40 story building.I am wondering since there is probably a lightning rod on top of the building - that is probably okay. My concern however is cable TV (but that is an underground system) - perhaps that could bring lighting to... 
The Police Live
Great thread. I would have loved to have gone to the Jones Beach show- Elvis and the Police- what a bill! But my ears (even with earplugs) can no longer take those loud shows. I saw Springsteen a few weeks back - way too loud - the bass was overwh... 
Does the Step 4 final rinse for Walker Prelude help?
Thanks for teasing us Norm.I read your post and tried to order Walker step 4 (I use the Audio Intelligent steps 1 and 2) and it seems Walker Audio is away until the AUg. 4.How am I supposed to listen to all these crappy sounding unrinsed records now? 
Can a preamp's gain be lowered?
My DAC seems to have too high an output - I've had preamp manufacturers lower the gain of an input for me. They were able to to -6db. 
Patricia Barber MFSL 180g LP or SACD?
I hope someone specifically chimes in on "Companion." I love the standard CD of that, and was thinking of getting the 45RPM LP as well. 
Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s
I heard the Mini 2 at Singer and loved them, but felt that there would be no way (for me to own them) if I didn't run a sub as well. 
VPI Rim Drive vs. belt drive sound files
Great Idea to upload the files. Next time maybe try 96 or 192K.I'll have to hook up a DAC to take a listen to these files, as I too am interested in seeing what rim type drive could to do my table. 
Is anyone using FuzzMeasure?
Wow - as a Mac user I have been looking for something like this - thanks.I am curious if using a mic like the Behringer test mic can be calibrated for accurate bass measurement.I just got Adjust plus measuerment software for cartridge playback, an... 
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
Does anyone who has the Graham Set up jig think they get better results with a protractor than the jig?I recently got the Feikert adjust plus software turntable setup tool. Havent set up a cart yet. 
Vinyl vs. top-notch digital
Rushton,thanks for posting that link to Steve Hoffman's findings. I've read his site, but never came across that one.Fascinating that he thought a lacquer played back at both 45 and 33 sounded almost identical to the master, and that a pressing so... 
The Best $10,000.00 Table + Cartridge
Well I guess JMO must have glossed over my post and didn't get the fact that I was kind of poking fun at ALL of us. I just find it a bit humorous all the money we spend - and in fact how much it really does cost to get first rate analog playback.A...
