| Raven One Owners - Last Table? I think the Raven One would be an excellent choice given your listening preferences and tendency to hold on to equipment for a long time. The flexibility of the Raven would serve you well. For example, the ability to add a second arm/cartridge if ... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Roberta Gambarini...and her voice ain't bad either! | |
| Konfounding Kinks "One For the Road" a double live LP released on Arista in 1980 is definitely a contender for the title of greatest live rock album. BTW, there is a new 'audiophile' pressing and it is terrible. I tried 4 different copies from different vendors and... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable I can't believe I'm writing this, but I am old enough to have actually owned a "vintage" Denon direct drive turntable when it was a current model! If my 'vintage' memory serves, it was a very good turntable but I think the current Teres would more... | |
| Best Turntable/arm/cartridge system for $30k As usual Mike Lavigne's advice seems wise. It's worth the time to work through the various analog threads on this and other forums. You may get an idea of what is right for you but there is no substitute for listening yourself. If you don't alread... | |
| Recommend book of "must have" rock albums I would suggest another idea: spend some time on Robert Christgau's site at http://www.robertchristgau.com. He is a highly admired rock critic who has written for the Village Voice among others.His reviews are well-written and often very funny. He... | |

So I guess I'll throw in my 2 cents.Thanks Vac man for the thorough and informative review. I would love to lis... | |

| You've Won the Lottery: Your Dream System, Now. In spite of believing that true happiness is being happy with less than you have...First someone would have to explain to Mike Lavigne why he has to move so that I can put my system in his room...After that:Galibier Stevlio TurntableTriplanar and ... | |
| Review: Soundsmith SG-410 Strain Gauge Cartridge Cartridge Vac_man,Thanks for the great review. You've given a great insight into the SG and certainly tweaked my interest. I enjoyed my brief experience with the SG at RMAF and Peter seems like a great guy. The sound really captured my attention; it's clear... | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 I must have gotten lucky with Lucinda (smile). My pressing of Little Honey sounds great. | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 Second the Raconteurs. Also Lucinda Williams "Little Honey". | |
| Jazz:swingin, groovin modern big band recordings. One more suggestion: Phil Kelly and the Santa Ana Winds "My Museum". | |
| Jazz:swingin, groovin modern big band recordings. Another vote for Gordon Goodwin's Phat Band. They have a new CD out that comes with a cool DVD. |
