| VPI HW-19 Upgrade question SAMA or SDS? A wee bit off topic here, but I have a factory built MKIV. Over the years the springs have compressed and finding it difficult to replace them. VPI no longer has replacements or the sorbothene replacements. I know can insert neoprene tubing into t... | |

| Review: CM Labs CM 300 Preamplifier The 914A was a further refinement of the original 914. Although I cannot hear a difference between them and have had both. If jazz and classical is your bag, then the CM Labs 914A is great amp. Can drive damn near load. For a time used mine to dri... | |
| Review: Benz Micro MC Gold Cartridge The preamp used was the Threshold SL 10 with on board phono section, that accepts MM or MC. Best setting I found was 1 - 15 ohms. Benz recommends 20 ohms, but the latter setting worked best for me. Please see my review on the Threshold SL 10 for m... | |
| RIP Oscar Peterson Just came across the Marian McPartland radio interview with Oscar Peterson. If a true fan of Oscar Peterson this is a great session with Marian McPartland. Oscar gives great insight to his technique, plus humorous eposodes in his life. Both Marian... | |
| Who LOVES their under $ 1000 table combination ? Yes the arm on the Goldring GR1.2 is a Rega RB 250, and will accept any and all upgrades for a Rega RB 250 arm. I spoke with Pete Riggle last night and indeed the counter weight is available, at $75.00 plus $6.00 for shipping. The Herbie mat offer... | |
| Who LOVES their under $ 1000 table combination ? No the GR 1.2 is factory stock, with exeption of the glass platter and the Herbie mat.Think I will order the Pete Riggle counter weight for the arm. Have heard good things about that upgrade. | |
| Who LOVES their under $ 1000 table combination ? About a year and a half ago, I purchased a Goldring GR 1.2 turntable from Audio Advisor for $299.95 delivered to my door. This table is nothing more or less than a Rega P 2 on a different plinth. Came with the Rega RB 250 tonearm and included a Go... | |
| Review: Threshold FET Two sII Preamplifier It would be an interesting comparison with the renewed SL 10 with its Black Gate caps and all vs the FET2 Series II.I can tell you the SL 10 now has one glorious signature in the phono as well as the line stages. I'll see if my friend that has the... | |

| Teo Macero...RIP... One of the truly great guys in the music business. He will be dearly missed. I met him several times, always a pure gentleman. Music was not only a living for him, but his great passion. Not many of us get to put livelihood and passion on the same... | |

| Review: Pass Labs Aleph 3 Amplifier I have used an Aleph 30 which is very similar to the Aleph 3 and have driven 87dB speakers with it with zero problems. Also I have found out it is best to leave Class A output amps on 24/7 for best results and long term reliability. Switching Clas... | |
