| Recommend your best sounding LP's Did MoFi do Zep IV? Sure you don't mean Zep II? Are you speaking of the NEW MFSL Big Pink, or older MFSL version of the same? I like Cowboy Junkines: Trinity Sessions (Classic 45rpm), and a friend just brought over Trinity Revisited, also excel... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 sunnyjim- In Living Stereo in NYC. Don Better in Cleveland is a dealer as well. | |
| What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ? OK, I'll play.... Nick Drake: Pink Moon, Cowboys Junkies: Trinity Revisited, David Crosy: If I could only remember my name. Well Tempered GTA w/ an Emt Tsd-15. | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 You may want to check out the Merrill Gem Dandy with the Jelco 750. Put's you a tad out of your $ range, but..... Another thought for less money, would be the WAX Engine table. I've only heard the Wax, and was impressed. I know you're done with vi... | |
| Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)? I'm doing the same as Pops…. 16.5, right down to the Magic Eraser, Onzow, and dry brush. I use Audio Intelligent fluids. When lazy or the LP is pretty nice, I use the 1 step # 6. Sometimes I do the 2 step process, with # 15, and distilled water. W... | |
| RSD 2016 jafant- +1 on that. I can't think of a better debut LP. Cheers -Don | |
| RSD 2016 Where did you find Live @ Aquarius. I found the LIVE BIG STAR @ University of Missouri yesterday. This was at Aux 33 Tours in Montreal. That's a heck of a record shop. Always stop there when I'm in the city. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 The Leben 30EQ may be a nice choice, as it's often paired with LM Integrated amps. Another thought would be the smallerAllnic unit. Not sure if the Zephyr has enough output for the Leben mm.... I just heard the SS Aida in to a HEED phono. Very ni... | |
| Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr I think at this level there are always trade offs. For instance, I heard the exposure (2010) has better bass than the Croft, in to the P3’s. However, the Croft had a bit more tube magic. That was simply one persons opinion, but it stands to reason... | |
| Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr Thanks yogiboy- That should give me quite a few options. I want something that will shine with that Harbeth midrange. Not that I don't want an even handed cartridge, but here, it's about the mids. | |
| Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr All much appreciated (-: It's nice to have just a few tubes, especially when dealing with NOS prices. frazeur1- funny you mentioned the MP-200. That's the one my dealer just got in. However, I am ONE turntable short at the moment. I plan to look ... | |
| $2000 turntable system Congrats leotis- I have no doubt you made an excellent choice. Kudos for thinking outside the box a little. Enjoy the Merrill Gem Dandy/Jelco 750.... | |
| Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr It’s a hard to be too critical of what I’m hearing from the Croft and P3’s. For my taste, it’s really quite engaging. It’s does that immersive tube thing, which allows me to forget I’m listening to a system. It has the color, but with an ever so s... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 That's the one wig…. LM 508. I recall another thread (may have been here), where the person went to an LM dealer and heard the 518, 508, and 219. He chose the 508, and 219 as his favorites. Just one persons taste and opinion, for fwiw. Charles- Th... | |
| How Do Left & Right Brains Like AT ART9 vs Dynavectors 17D3, XX2, XX2mkII vs Ortofons Spencer-I have heard the DV Karat, and also heard and owned the 20X2/L. I have a preference for the latter. To my ears it had a weightier, and more even handed presentation. I may soon be shopping in this general price tier, and may look in to Han... |
