| ELP laser turntable - any comments? I have been told that the vinyl must be scrupulously cleaned before playing on this table. | |
| Stillpoints vs Symposium Rollerballs I started off using Symposium Roller-blocks under my Accuphase DP-75V CD player. I had a problem leveling the Symposium shelf upon which it sat, so the bearings never centered exactly right on the Roller-blocks. I switched to the Aurios (1.0's, no... | |
| Atma-sphere M60s. What preamps work well? I am using the M-60 Mk2.2's (recently upgraded) and would recommend going with an MP-3 preamp. Also use balanced interconnects between the two.As for speakers, there is someone on Agon advertising a pair of Peak Consult InCognitos. I am also using... | |
| Help with Revel and Dunlavy Tweeters I don't think that this is a speaker that one should try to "hot-rod"! There's more to designing a speaker than simply slapping in and swapping drivers. As you indicated, some standard drivers are highly modified to specific manufacturers' design ... | |
| The worlds ultimate toy And you thought that we audiophools were compulsive and spent ridiculous sums of money! Paul Allen owns the #1, #3, and #14 largest American documented (federally registered) yachts! Here is some info on them. Also, here is the link for the rest o... | |
| Is SACD a dead format? There are two factors that also trouble me about SACD [besides the limited number of titles, and idiots who release titles as a single layer, with no redbook CD layer].1) What type of master tapes are used for the SACD titles? If the masters are 1... | |

| Who thinks they got the best deal on Audiogon? Actually, I have been satisfied with all transactions here on Agon, both as a buyer and as a seller, although there was one unpleasant experience with a dealer (no names!) who is considered to be a jerk by many members here.I try to both buy and s... | |
| Are CD's made the same way? Just curious...why would you put a piece of that packing tape (ulta-sticky) on your CD? | |
| what's required to support upcoming formats? Money, and lots of it :-) | |
| Vintage speaker upgrade suggestions? Alo, my apologies! I kind of hit the nail on the head with my college dorm room crack...I didn't realize that you were actually a struggling college student! Your taste in music threw me off. Kudos to you for your taste in music, and your attempt ... | |
| Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim) Viridian, you need a Grado cartridge as it has a wooden body, and will be able to track those wood trimmed LP's :-) | |
| Vintage speaker upgrade suggestions? Forget about SACD! Please don't take this the wrong way, but you will not get hi-end sound from your buying methods. But if you find that you enjoy the sound, then you are lucky, because you will not catch the "audiophile addiction", which can be ... |
