| What is the chain of importance in analog system ? I think I would look for a VPI Aries 1 with the old heavy platter.Get a outer ring and update the arm to a JMW 12.6.Then find a used ZYX Airy or Fuji. I can't give a good recommendation for a transformer/preamp since I have not really heard any in... | |
| New favorite VINYL Album? Dopogue, have you heard the Sphere's "Live" disc? Italian pressing. Very close to the quality of "Flight Path". Just got one off Ebay for cheap.e | |
| New LP's made from analog or digital masters I have compared several cds to their vinyl counterparts and have always found the vinyl to be more enjoyable.I say this with a huge disclaimer that I am very much a vinyl fan.Recently I had a friend over that listens to music on his deck through B... | |
| What is the chain of importance in analog system ? It is refreshing that a string could bring so much diversity of ideas and concepts and still maintain civility.All of the above discussion brings credence to what I refer to as;"The charm of vinyl".Indeed the chain of components and the symbiotic ... | |
| New LP's made from analog or digital masters I have to think that the new LPs are digital,since most of them are also available on CD.Verve comes to mind. I guess we should be grateful ANY new LPs being made and should pony up to their absurd prices. As I have said in other forums:perhaps si... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I am currently listening in the Man Cave to Joni Mitchell's "Song to a Seagull". For those who know me,know that it is my favorite Joni LP or CD.Preferably vinyl.Her first recording with David Crosby producing and Stephen Stills on bass(on one tra... | |
| Which MoFi and MoFi UHQR LPs? I have several of the original MoFi releases from the 70s-80s.My experience is that they can be very good, but some not so great. My "Tea for the Tillerman" is a bit too forward and hot,but it does have it's moments."Dark Side of the Moon" is noth... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Marc,I had a great time listening with you Bill and Tom.These smaller meetings are really fun and revealing. I was truly amazed by the Dimitri power conditioner. It completely transformed what was already a great system.This is a 'can't live witho... | |

| VPI HW 19 3.5 w/REGA 300 vs. VPI Scout w/JMW 9 arm Did you get the new Scout with the aluminum platter? I have a HW19 and have been thinking about a Aries or a Scout in the future. I love the JMW arm.You can adjust the VTA while listening.How cool is that?e | |
| Acoustat 2+2...Any users? Vegasears, thanks for your response. I have never heard the Acoustats with tubes,but I bet it can be magical. How much power is your VTL rated for? I would love a pair of Seigfrieds but a little too rich for my blood. | |
| Acoustat 2+2...Any users? I have had the model 2 since 1980.I can't imagine ever parting with them unless I could replace them with the 2+2 or one of the Spectral series.They are totally stock with the pre-medallion transformer.I have found that they do like power, but if ... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations under $5K First let me say I am very biased toward dipole planer speakers.I own both box(Snell E) and planers(Acoustat 2) and I love them both, but if I had to give one up it would be the boxs. That said,buy yourself a nice set of Acoustats. You can get the... | |
| New favorite VINYL Album? Dopogue you are dead on. Seeing the guys in front of the WTC with a album titled "Flight Path" is very ironic.One could wax about the flight path of the country in regards to the greed of Wall Street,but of course the obvious 911 deads have nothin... |
