| Why vinyl? Thanks for the responses, I don't begrudge 180 gram LPs selling at $30.00 a pop (so to speak) - that's the nature of the business today. I would like it to be less, but that's true for a lot in audio, I'd rather it was healthy and viable rather th... | |
| Why vinyl? I'm curious, does anyone (who was around at the time) believe that $8.99 equals $30.99, regardless of what an academic estimate of money is?It doesn't seem the same to me at all, and I used to buy a lot of records. Let's not deal with the 1980s LP... | |
| Why Can't Tubes Be Mass-Produced Cheaply? Fro Dan_ed ,I agree, but that middle is so important, there is some reality to be gained and some beauty lost. Top extension invites harshness, particularly with vintage gear. I will occasionally de-Mullardize my system to find nuance and sacrific... | |

| Your First Concert was..... Wagner Walkure, Seattle Opera 1974. The next year the whole Ring in english and German, then the next year as part of Sigfried, manually operating Fafner the Dragon. But my first concert of the sort you're talking about was Talking Heads (and some... | |

| What am I missing??? Well, yeah there's more. But it might not be worth the trade offs, me I'm a fool and I'm always looking for something else, it would help if I had money. I think that you have things optimized, if you're happy and tap your feet (and I mean that se... | |
| Which NYC Dealers REALLY know how to setup a TT? High Water Sound, Jeffrey Catalano, (missed the first line in above post, sorry)He is definitely worth a visit. I don't know what tables he has now and if they are in your range, but he is worth meeting before you make the rounds of other dealers ... | |
| Which NYC Dealers REALLY know how to setup a TT? He is definitely worth a visit. I don't know what tables he has now and if they are in your range, but he is worth meeting before you make the rounds of other dealers or consider buying on line.

| Eastern Electric MiniMax Preamp It's a great unit. I have a great phono section, otherwise I would have bought the pre-with phono. The minimax seems transparently open, meaning that tubes have a much bigger impact on the overall system sound than I have experienced in the past. ... | |
| Why so many Gallo 3 or 3.1 for sale on A'goN? There is a possibility that room size and volume levels might be a factor as well. I remember that tempering my opinion of the speakers when reading the laudatory reviews. Maybe everyone bought Druids instead, a more recent favorite.Without first ... | |

| Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R I'm a long time Abby listener, they are fantastic speakers. I have heard a lot of the smaller Fostex based speakers (but not the Omegas). I’m biased, but take the Abbys.The Abbys address the niche for efficient speakers at a reasonable price, but ... | |

In the past I have heard tables like the Nottingham Hyperspace that are, for lack of a better word too detailed. Th... | |
| Tonearm for Teres turntable - approx $1000 - ?? On the similar subject, has anyone experience with the JMW Memorial 10? It is a little more expensive than the Morch, but is has a built in VTF control, an add-on with Morch, and $200 from Chris.A good friend has recommended it to me, but I was le... |
