| Preamp Deal of the Century Sugarbie, which specific Blue Circle preamps would you recommend? Don't know anyone who owns them and no dealer handy. Many thanks. | |
| Cartridge recommedation needed for old table/arm Ed_f, I've actually lent the cartridge to a friend who is using it with a SME V arm and Nottingham Spacedeck. His phono pre is a Sonic Frontiers. I ran it using SME V and Graham 2.2 arms with an Oracle V using a Herron phono pre. I think it's a fi... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Can it possibly sound as good as it looks!!Did it arrive in a kangaroo's pouch? | |
| Cartridge recommedation needed for old table/arm I would suggest that you buy as good a cartridge as your Denon/Signet combo is capable of handling, so if you stay with your re-discovered passion you can use it when you upgrade to a new table/arm. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with your Signet,... | |
| Preamp-phonostage selection for analog lover Barbara, since you opened the door for more propositions - oops, proposals - err, ideas, there's a Rogue 99 Magnum preamp being offered for sale in the classifieds for $1800. It's a great unit (and it does have a remote). I'm not familiar with the... | |
| Arm / Cartridge: How to pick the best combo ? You ask some interesting, difficult questions Sean - witness no responses in 24 hours! Well, I'll put something up for others to shoot down.I have never seen a specific "book" on arm mass/cartridge compliance. I can recall brief references in vari... | |
| Warm/Musical/Resolving Preamp Under 2K There are a couple of Magnum 99s listed at around $1850 - given your target budget grab one and run.If you can stretch a few hundred more, see if you can pickup a used Joule LA-100Mk III or Herron. The Joule has a remote while the Herron doesn't, ... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Bwhite, please share you opinion of the Keops once you have a fix on it. | |
| Has anyone heard the Joule Electra Stargates? Findoc, I would just call or write to Jud and ask him. I believe that the Joule/Merlin tandem, which have been shown together for years, included Cardas. I may be wrong, but I think Merlins are wired internally with Cardas, so that would make sens... | |
| Help with NEW MC cartridge putchase G_m_c's recommendation of the Dynavector is an excellant one, it's a terrific cartridge, but it outputs .22mv, if memory serves. So Bob_bundus's point is very valid. Unfortunately a good step up tranny will take too large of a hunk out of you budg... | |
| Jazz review: reissues of 2 favorite LP's Bought 2 "Piccolo" from from different sources at different times during a buying spree. Opened the Red Trumpet shipping box and said "Ah *#@$". Haven't touched the LP, cost me $34.95 including shipping. Take advantage of old grandpa for $25 inclu... | |
| Tube Dampers Woops, sorry Travis. No slander intended, I mis-interpreted. | |
| 19th Nervous Breakdown... Gboren, which cartridge are you going to use - the Graham is a great piece. Haven't used the Ekos. | |
| ACCUPHASE DP85 OUCH! Wasn't that just a little harsh cfb? Jtinn did say he is a dealer of competing products. Not really like you to make personal attacks (you guys have a thing going?). Your comment on the 2 Accuphase pieces, which you know well from personal e... |
