| Plinius class A vs. class AB sound difference? I agree with Judit: you owe it to yourself to hear the SA102.I traded up to the SA102 from an 8200 integrated. For the money, the 8200 is great, but no match for the SA102. The 8200 is rated at 175 watts at 8 ohms, and the SA102 is 125 watts at 8 ... | |
| Shure Stylus Gauge My theory would be that there is something causing mechanical resistance at the arm bearing as the headshell goes lower. This would explain both the different readings with and without an LP, and also the fact that the arm stays down when pushed d... | |
| Mandolin music Check out Andy Statman. He is now a klezmer musician, but he kicked out a mandolin cd about 20 years ago called Andy's Ramble which is sort of soft blue grass mandolin. Andy is a terrific musician and truly a great mandolin player.Also check out P... | |
| Here's how a CD copy of a copy can sound better I agree with Rockvirgo that the errors are not in the bits. But when we are talking about going from digital to digital, we are not talking about jitter either. Jitter is the distortion introduced due to timing errors during the analog to digital ... | |
| Thinking about new cartridge 56dB should be enough for a .5mV cartridge, but I wouldn't push it further.I know it's hard to demo a cartridge. Could you bring your phono stage into a dealer who has a .5dB cartridge already hooked up? You could at least get a sense if your phon... | |
| I need advice/opinions for a nice bedroom system Ditto the Linn Classik. The cool thing about the classik is that it also has an alarm clock! The perfect thing for a bedroom system. Of course, for the money, it sounds great. | |
| Clearaudio Reference Solution Audiogoon,Cool handle!As to your question, your table and arm now easily outclass the cartridge. If your budget can afford it, go for it. You definitely have a setup that will allow you to hear the difference between the glider (a good cartridge f... | |
| Anyone ever have claims for damage with UPS? How much was your claim? I recently got paid on a very small claim ($60) with no problems, but I suspect your claim is much larger. A few questions:Was the packing the original factory boxes? Did UPS inspect the boxes before accepting the insuranc... | |
| Laser Turntables; Opinions Please Stereo Times had a review: http://www.stereotimes.com/turn030300.shtmThey said it was fantastic. However, they did say that pops and clicks are much more pronounced.But check out: http://www.elpj.com/frameset.htmlIn their website, they say it is l... | |
| LP12 Setup: Dead & Lifeless: Where's the air? I don't know about your Linn dealer, but mine charged me $50.00 to tune up my LP12, and it was worth it. Linn tables are notorious for being finnicky and for good reason. When tuned exactly right, they sound wonderful. Unfortunately, they also mus... | |
| MC vs. MM question MC stands for moving coil and MM stands for moving magnet. When a wire loop moves through a magnetic field, an electrical current is induced. An MC cartridge has a coil at the other end of the cantilever which moves through a fixed magnetic field ... | |
| best upgrade for 'standard' LP12 Ultrakaz,I respectfully disagree. I did the LP12 upgrade path starting with Lingo (my LP12 already had Cirkus) and then arm. The power supply (Lingo or Naim or Origin Live) are HUGE improvements and should be considered first. The Lingo upgrade is... | |
