| KAB 1200 vs. everything else. .Go right ahead and sell it, Tvad.But then what about all those records that have not made it to CD? That might be the only drawback to dumping the analog front end.. | |
| KAB 1200 vs. everything else. Markd51,That's what I was thinking. I strapped a Benz ACE H to an RB250 on the Sl1200. The way it responds makes me think that a $2k is not out of the question.A Dynavector XX-2, Benz wood body something, and Koetsu Black are on the wish list.In u... | |

I'll say!!!Since all those records have been mastered on a Technics drive then all those sources are unreliable? Or isn't it a good thing to play back on a motor... | |
| KAB 1200 vs. everything else. Except for a rehabbed idler. I have a Thorens TD111, which is their lowend offering. It does have more impact, weight, and drive. It is speed stable. Plenty of torque. You can get an old "needs work" idler for about $500+. You will need an arm, an... | |

| Felt Mats or ??? Felt mats blow.Anything is better than a felt mat.Feltmats seem to be a cost cutter for production line turntables.I hate 'em. | |
| Rega P3-24, Pro-Ject RM-5, or Technics 1200? I had a modded NAD533 which was a Rega on steroids. I like my SL-1200 better. | |
| Review: Keces DA-151 USB DAC DA converter "If you have or aspire to the highest resolution system, if you truly do critical listening (as opposed to reverie and toe tapping)," I like richness of tone with depth over dynamics / detail so it doesn't sound like the Keces is for me. Even so, ... | |

| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II A while back in my travels I discovered the conrad-johnson PV10BL line preamp. There have been many posts on the matter but I have concluded thoroughly that RCA Command Blackpaltes doing 12AU7 duty are unsurpassed. A nice old school hazy schmoozy ... | |

| Review: NAD C-541 CD Player I have had the NAD C541i for a few years now and generally agree with your assessment. I have also seen the CDP sound described as being a bit gray at times. For me it was polite, seemingly detailed, but really excelled with a HDCD disk. It was gr... |
