EMT and/or Koetsu with Shindo pre/phono and Kuzma Ref 313 arm....
Funny the MSL carts came up in my conversation with a dealer who carries all the cartridges I'm interested in. He introduced MSL as an option, and now with this thread, I'm finding them hard to ignore. All along the high price of My Homage T2 Step... 
Can anyone tell me about VERITY AUDIO PARSIFAL
I enjoyed my Parsifal’s quite a bit. They are one of the best speakers I have owned. For my taste, better than Avalon or Kharma. But I came here to stress that they are not tube friendly. YMMV.....Perhaps other Verity models, but not the 89 db, 4 ... 
Beatles Vinyl Mono Box..do you have one?
We as consumers have every right to know if an LP is all analog (AAA) or not. People in the industry should keep us informed, and we should try and keep each other informed. After that, let it be our own choice as to what we want to listen to. I h... 
Need help: turntable market in the $1500-$2000 range is overwhelming
"I'd go with a Rega P6.  Fuss-free, and excellent sounding.  I compared it to a MoFi Ultradeck and a Clearaudio Concept; preferred the Rega.  At $1995 with Exact2 (MM) or $2195 with Ania (MC) cartridge, I think it's the best sounding combo in the ... 
Opinion on SME 15
Don't ignore the Kuzma Ref2 because it's been in production for over 20 years. I'm sure the Stabi R is a very nice sounding table, but I have no regrets for buying my Ref 2 w/ 313 VTA arm. Have to say a Stabi R with the Graham would allow you to a... 
EMT 75th Anniversary series... TSD75 SFL ... and a bit of history.
There is also the HSD 006, which retails for $1,595, according to a not so recent write up.  It has a Super Fine Line stylus tip, and an alnico magnet. Great info on your 2/4 post Chakster. Has anyone heard any of the higher end EMT's. I've been r... 
Need help: turntable market in the $1500-$2000 range is overwhelming
Read the OP's opening thread...he has nothing against AT or Technics other than the looks. I'm not going to pretend to have heard all of these, but my thoughts are Well Tempered, Mo-Fi, or SOTA.  
EMT 75th Anniversary series... TSD75 SFL ... and a bit of history.
Very nice, well sorted system Chakster. No question the TSD-75 has some vintage pixie dust sprinkled in to it's sound... and with modern cartridges, I don't believe there are too many that have that.  
EMT 75th Anniversary series... TSD75 SFL ... and a bit of history.
I’ve had a TSD-15, and now TSD-75 for as long as I can recall. They give long life, and one would be hard pressed to do better for the money. I have two other cartridges here, but the 75 seems to stay on my tonearm. I know you’re running a Technic... 
Looking for a turntable around $1k...
How about that NEW Technics 100C. At least it makes sense in that you don't have to pay for a phono stage you won't be using. Should be an interesting comparison sound wise to the 1200 mk. 7. I'm a fan of the cleaner look (-: 
Funk Firm LSD or Well tempered Simplex

Clear difference between Harbeth 30.2 & Super HL5 Plus?
Which Luxman are you talking about? (-: I have the 550 AX/II driving C7's on the Trager stands. It's not quite tubes, but they get on quite well together. I could see the wrong tube amp being too much of a good thing with the 7's...as in having to... 
New Technics turntables
There’s one at my local audio shop, but I have not listened to it yet. I like the look a good bit. Darko has a you tube review site and owns a Planar 2 and a 1500C. Please check his site to confirm, rather than trusting this exact info, but that’s... 
New turntable: TW or Obama?
Since mijostyn mentions the Ref 2...I figured I'd chime in and say I love mine. I use the Ref 313 VTA. My guess is the Stabi R and M both outsell the Ref 2 by a pretty wide margin. Perhaps it's due to the Ref being in production so long, and/or ma... 
Duelund 16ga vs. 12ga
I asked a cable guy who I trust (not Jim Carey) about the situation. He said stick with my 16 GA on Horns. But on the bass, the 12 GA would definitely be worth trying. Another option would be the double up (stack) the 16GA for the bass, which he s...
