| Your favorite BEACH BOYS LP besides PET SOUNDS I want to ad more to my collection. I have the Stereo release of Pet Sounds from 1999. I think Mark Linett did the Stereo remaster. It sounds good, but not great. I may go for the QRP Stereo when it's available. Lewm- You may want check out Endles... | |
| Canadian LP pressing, how good? I have a Joni Mitchell: Hejira that sounds great on Canadian Press. Then just last night, I spun Grateful Dead: In the Dark. The latter was never my fave Dead, but for $12 bucks, I grabbed it on a recent trip to Toronto. I was pleasantly surprised... | |
| SME turntables brizonbiovizier- Did it also have this lifeless quality with the addition of the Graham and/or Triplaner? May I ask what you have found that suited your tastes better since owing SME. I heard both Brinkmann Bardo and Spyder earlier this year, and... | |
| Direct Metal Mastering ( DMM ) LPs. What is this? The newer Rush remasters are also DMM. I am not a big fan, but did wear out some of their cassette tapes back in the 80's. I was thinking of trying one of them, but the DMM is a slight deterrent. I suppose just asking Acoustic Sounds would have m... | |
| $5k Upgrade The Royale looks interesting for sure. I listened to a few turntables this year, but eventually put the money in to a different system upgrade. I will continue to listen, but Mr. Firebaugh really has designed a special product. To my ears, some of... | |
| TT Speed Control/ Phoenix Roadrunner and Eagle Review Moryoga- I haven't. Maybe I should but figured it is what it is. Funny thing is I could have swore a dealer told me he tried aWalker on an Amadeus. Then when I looked up the Walker,it said for AC motors as well. Cheers -Don | |
| Which phono preamplifier do you recommend? Try the LEEMA? It's supposed to be very good, and it's under 1K. | |
| TT Speed Control/ Phoenix Roadrunner and Eagle Review moryoga- glad to hear the Roadrinner/Eagle made an improvement for you. I was going to try one with my Amadeus, but heard they aren't compatible with DC motors. Maybe I will look in to other options. I owned the Basis 2500, and it's an excellent ... | |
| EMT JSD P 6.0 I've not, but I understand the P stands for Platinum. I heard the JSD-6-G, and it sounded more neutral than my TSD-15. I took that listen with a grain of salt, because it was on a different turntable. I'm running my Tsd-15 on an Amadeus GTA, with... | |
| Setting Gain on Aesthetix IO/Signature I ran my IO wide open (80db) for a .2 mv Koetsu. You shouldn't need that much gain for your Air Tight. Yes- no doubt you can reduce noise by using less gain. I would set your gain in the high 60's, and increase if you need to. I'm sure Albert ... | |
| Rega RP8 and alternatives in $3000-4000 range + 1 on Mr_m's advice. Or the Amadeus GTA would keep you under 4K. My GTA was less than 4K. The EAT certainly looks sharp.... Would like to hear it. | |
| Sussurro Paua on JMW 10.5 arm - mini review Two years later, any updates on your Paua. I just had someone mention this cartridge to me today. They spoke very highly of it. | |

| Thoughts on the EAT C series tables Oregonpapa-Thanks as always, for your thoughts. I agree, it's certainly a looker. I also like the looks of the Luxman table, even though it's more old school. I was hot on the turntable quest early this year, and then a different upgrade opportuni... | |
| Was this Miles Davis Steamin LP a rare find? Thanks Lewm, I would love to have some Art Pepper in my collection. I have heard +11 is an outstanding recording. The QRP Steamin LP was all I could have hoped for. Warm, but not that fuzzy, lack of detail type warm. Piano was just right, with goo... |
