| Cartridge Loading I agree with Dertonarm.I am currently experiencing my first go at loading with a lomc.I have a Benz Gold on a VPI HMW 19/Audioquest-Jelco arm going to a NAD PP2.the rest of the system is:Audio Alchemy DLC line stageHafler 220 power ampAcoustat mod... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks Z: I agree with you completely. The loading has is giving me a much more defined sound stage,not to mention deeper and wider and taller. I feel that I am close in that there is still tremendous heft and power in the fundamentals.Bass lines ... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Helo Zaikesman: thanks for the kind and informative response.I agree with everything you are saying. Indeed some recordings sound very much the same with either phase polarity.However, I have found that my English Cathedral Music,(of which I am mo... | |
| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings MacDadtexas, I have "Heart Shaped World" on vinyl and it is indeed dear to me and hard to find.I got mine off GEMA from a guy in Brazil for a very reasonable price,($15.00 plus shipping)but most of the Ebay prices (when it is even available) seem ... | |

| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? I have a $15.00 Sony Playstation 1. One of the best sounding CD players I have ever heard. I think the top end is slightly rolled off which keeps the digital glare down,not to mention a much sweeter over all sound. Since I am almost strictly a vin... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music PMM, you may want to try the Rach piano concerto's on London with Ashkenazy.They are wonderful pressings of wonderful music.Also just got a Harmonia box set of Purcell's opera "King Arthur", with The Arthur Deller Consort.This is a wonderful and s... | |

| Driving 1 ohm I have been using a Hafler 220/ bone stock built from a kit in 1979 to drive my Acoustat 2s.It has never been touched and sounds fantastic.That said I would like to go the tube route and I think that it could really reveal some magic,,,,with the r... | |

| New LP's made from analog or digital masters I just got a "old Digital"pressing from 1983.I have had the CD since it came out and having just listened to the LP I can say without any doubt it blows the silver disc away.The CD can't touch the top end extension and presence.The overall decay i... |
