Well Tempered and EMT JSD S75 Cartridge
I run both Amadeus and GTA tables... I have a Maple wood body Denon 103 on my Amadeus and tsd-15 on my GTA. I would love to try one of the London cartridges. They are not only supposed to be a good match for the WT, but also a good match in to my ... 
Roger Waters-Amused to Death
I've got a NM original from Analogue tapes. Been meaning to play it for ages. They go for big money on e-bay, but who knows. I remember it to be a great recording, but haven't played it in years.  
What's been your turntable ownership over the years?
Saburo- Very interesting evolution there. I would be especially interested to hear about Oracle, Linn, and Immedia RPM. Anyway, here's mine:Basis 2000/Graham 2.0Basis 2001/Graham 2.0Basis 2500/Graham 2.2Basis 2500/ Went to Basis Vector IIIWTL Amad... 
Your Nominations: Top Phono Stages under $1,000
Art also like the Tavish phono stage. I own, and enjoy the Croft phono integrated. As mentioned a few times here, maybe the Croft phono stage. Off subject: runaround- I just bought my first Denon, but it is the Charisma (Denon) 103. It really is v... 
cardas speaker positioning
tablejockey OP334 posts07-08-2017 11:50amvair68robert-I've been aware of and  read the Cardas method years ago. Finally decided to give it a try. Glad I did. I have a better appreciation for my speakers. The speakers are sealed cabinets, so I ... 
VAC vs Conrad Johnson Amps?
I recall the Renaissance amps to have a very engaging sound, that to my ears, was more enjoyable. I am a big fan of the 300B tube, which is the tube my current SET amps use. Again, given the right speaker (89-93db), I would not discount the Renais... 
VAC vs Conrad Johnson Amps?
Vac Renaissance is all Class A. I Heard a 30/70 sig, and 70 mk. 3.  I enjoyed the CJ Premier 8a very much, and the teflon upgrade may take them to another level. I also owned a Vac Phi 300.1, and a Standard 220 Signature. If I were to return to a ... 
Movies that featured High End equipment
Californication was mentioned way earlier in this thread. It was an AVID turntable. I thought the amp was a Krell, but I'm guessing on that one.  
Help me to choose turntable below 1600$.
I think mr_m is on to something. Exactly what I was going to contribute. A used Amadeus. I think at $1600, some nice options open up. Especially with an open mind to used or demo. I have a GTA, and am in the market for another table! My intention ... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
That's too funny. I go to the Egg more often than all the others, and forgot about it. I've enjoyed many shows there. Ray Manzarek/Robby Krieger, Gregg Allman solo, Beth Hart, Keb Mo.... Great venue. Proctors these days is mostly all plays, but th... 
Best one step liquid record cleaner.???
Audio Intelligent # 15 is not a 1-step. The AI 1-step is his #6. I use both with great success. (-: 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
schubert- Indeed Cohoes Music Hall is still going. We have Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, Proctors, The Palace, and SPAC for the summer months. Capital District is pretty good... If I move, I won't miss the weather or the high taxes. But I digress (-: 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Timothy B Schmit and his band at Cohoes Music Hall.  Very good show.  
Best Debut Albums
+ 1 on Texas Flood? Very good call..... I'm a big Doors fan, so my pick was covered by the OP.  Also spun The Cars LP recently, which was an early pressing, and it sounded great. Not a huge fan of the Cars, but it is a heck of a debut.  
Will you be going to see YES or YES this summer?
They have a pretty extensive US tour this year. The bass player and drummer are also excellent.
