| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob, thanks for sharing your experiences with the revamped 420. It has been pointed out that the only difference between the 420 and it's "lesser" cousins, the 415/412, is the stylus/cantilever. Are you aware of anything that Axel did as part of ... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... What the OP seems to be unaware of is the level of sarcasm and offensive mischaracterizations that he has directed at the reviewer in his tirade:-"MF lays an ostrich egg"-"MF decided ahead of time was going to screw up the sound"-"His reviews of $... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Terrific post, thanks.****In fact, in an age of super-saturated networking, one may even take perverse pleasure in an eccentric hobby in which a service provider remains subbornly uncommunicative for months or years, only to resurface with somethi... | |
| Why are dealers so scared to sell product out of I don't understand the aversion to paying list price when buying new; buying used is a different story. I understand wanting a good deal, but the price of a new item is, well....the price. If the item had a list price 10 or 15% lower that what it ... | |
| Turntable Choices The HW19 will be warmer and fuller sounding than the Oracle which while not the least bit clinical sounding is leaner sounding and less weighty in the bass. The Linn, you already have an idea of how it sounds since your Ariston is actually the tab... | |
| Turntable Choices OK, so how do you like the sound of your system currently? Do you feel it's too warm or too bright? Do you have enough bass or too much? Does your current table (what is it, btw?) sound noticeable more rhythmic than your CD player, or not? It shou... | |

| Turntable Choices Interesting list of contenders. Have not heard the Traveler but be aware that the other three have very different sonic signatures (I have owned all three) which make proclamations of which is "better" irrelevant, IMO. If I HAD to rate them, I wou... | |
| STAX Lambda Pro or Signature Earspeakers I have owned both for many years and drive them with the SRM T1S dedicated tube amp. Both sound fantastic and while it is not a night and day difference, the Signatures are clearly superior sounding with a noticeably more refined sound, more speed... | |
| Amplifier for Quads Agree completely with Charles1dad. In fact, I have been told by more than one Quad 57 owner (I never owned them) that the Quads actually seem to be able to play louder with smaller amps like the Bedini, but particularly with quality tube amps, ins... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Why is it so darn difficult for some people to accept the simple fact that some listeners have better hearing ability than others; wether because of physiological differences, experience, or training? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw, thanks for your comments. Likewise, my comments are not intended to be a criticism of anyone's preferences or tastes in either music or sound; which, at the end of the day, need to be respected. IMO, commentary and discussion, even (especial... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup, thanks for sharing the data. The question then becomes: how do the different flow rates affect the sound when PSI remains the same? Did you notice differences in the sound with different pumps with the regulator allowing the same PSI? Of ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup, from BT:****The heavy version has a step at the back to a larger diameter, the light version is tapered with no step. The photo on the web page for the magnesium wand shows the version with the step. Thank you very much. brucet**** | |
| Choosing a Solid State Class A/B integrated amp ****Tube amps can be fast? That's a new one for me. I clearly have a lot to learn. Can someone please elaborate on the op's statement?****Of course they can be; it's surprising to me that anyone would think that tube amps, as a group, can not be. ... |
