| MoFi Ultradeck or Technics 1200GR The Triple post above was unintentional, of course. My apologies... Cheers -Don | |
| MoFi Ultradeck or Technics 1200GR heard them both, same dealer. walked out with the GR. if you like smooth, laid back and rounded off get the mofi. if you like steady, dynamic, detailed, smooth and neutral go technics. not even close IMHO. Same Cartridge? | |

| Bobs Device SKY 20 or A23 (Denon) SUT for my Charisma 103 cart The SKY 20 has 2 settings: 1:10 and 1:20. The reflected impedance (using a 47k ohms setting on the phono stage) at 1:20 is 118 ohms. At 1:10 it is 470 ohms..... With the exception of the 1:10 and 1:20 adjustable settings, I won't pretend to hav... | |
| Bobs Device SKY 20 or A23 (Denon) SUT for my Charisma 103 cart Thanks for the advice so far. Bob (Bobs’ devices) carries my Charisma cartridge, and likes the Sky 20 for it. Then of course, the standard high impedance A23 is for the Denon 103. The MFA does indeed look interesting. The Baby Classic has great fl... | |
| My Sonic Lab with Thoress? Both the Thoress phono stage, and My Sonic Labs cartridges are supposed to be wonderful. I'd also like to hear any feedback here.. Cheers -Don | |
| Bands with great second albums Yes- Indeed, Fragile is great... But their second album Time and a Word is a strong album. I really like their their first four, with Close to the Edge next. I am always engaged by their first two, and Time and a Word early press LP sounds darned ... | |
| Bands with great second albums I may be wrong, but isn't Steely Dan's second LP COUNTDOWN....?Many great choices here. Strange Days (already said) was the first that came to my mind. How about counting the Buckingham/Nicks era of Fleetwood Mac as a new one, and submitting Rumor... | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. Regarding Pink Floyd: The Wall... I'm not a huge Japanese pressing guy, but I must say, my Japanese pressing of The Wall is oh, so good. Quiet, so analog sounding, dynamic as hell. The Cowboy Junkies: Trinity Sessions is also excellent. I have the... | |
| Best turntable under $2000 I would be looking at at Well Tempered Simplex new, or an Amadeus used. Just my $00.2 | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) Thanks for sharing. I went from a 14LS to 16LS, but never owned the 17... That 16LS is one honey of a preamp. When I see them come up from time to time, I always think somebody will be getting one hell of a preamp for $3000-$3500. | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. If you're speaking of the QRP 45, the Strange Days sounds great to my ears. I haven't heard the Rhino 33 rpm. I reach for my early Gold label more often then the 45, but that's also because I prefer not dealing with 45's sometimes. Let me think of... | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. Some stand outs for me, but will give this more thought....Nick Drake: Pink Moon.

| Milk Carton Kids I have Ash & Clay on vinyl. Certainly hear the similarities to S & G, as bdp24 mentioned. I just bumped in to it the other night, and plan to put it back in to rotation soon. I recall being satisfied with the first spin, although it was ye... |
