LP12 vs Classic III vs. ?? vs.?? Second Vortrex. Just went from Classic 1 to Amadeus. The Classic 1 is really good, but is bettered (to me) in every aspect. Of most importance, it is like you are in the concert hall and the music surrounds you, while the Classic is like you are l... | |
what did you purchase after PS AUDIO GCPH PHONO? Manley Chinook. The PS Audio GCPH is a very nice unit, especially in the used $5-600 range. But at 4 times the price, the Manley is better in every aspect, as it should be but adds that tube magic to your vinyl that the GCPH can't touch. | |
Should I upgrade to a Manley Chinook phono pre-amp The Manley Chinook should be heard, especially with your Delos.I've been demoing the Chinook at home for a little over a week and it's amazing with the Delos. I just called my dealer to purchase the Chinook.I've owned the Steelhead, the Chinook is... | |

Lyra Dorian or Lyra Delos cartridge? WHOOPS! The DELOS is worth the extra cost. My apologies, not quite awake. | |
Lyra Dorian or Lyra Delos cartridge? I have owned the Dorian, Argo and now the Delos.The Delos is better in every way...bass, resolution and especially detail. The above Lyras were mounted on a Linn Ittok, you may experience differing results on the VPI/Audioquest but again to me, Do... | |
Well Tempered/ Stanalog gone? I received responses to emails within 24 hours of them being sent about a month ago. He sent me an owners manual in Word and responded to a question regarding an accessory shipment. | |
maple platform for tt. I have owned a Planar 3 & P25 and now currently own a P5.In my years of experience with the Rega, I find that it works best on a light, rigid surface. I have tried a solid butchers block and in my opinion, it completely sucked the life out of ... | |
The best tonearm for Lyra Helikon SL ? I'm running the same as Jfrech...Skala mounted on the latest Tri Planar and it is a great combination. I previously had the Skala on an Ekos mk2 and it astounded me as to how much of the Skala I wasn't hearing until I installed it on the Tri Planar. | |
Best integrated to drive vandersteen 2c's I used the MF A300 with Vandy 1C's and 2CE Sigs with great results in a smaller room (11x12). Plenty of power and the A300 will give the Vandy's enough kick for rock, jazz, or whatever you listen to. | |
Best Albums of 2008 on Vinyl I agree on the Black Mountain and Gutter Twins as your top 2, great music and superb transfers to vinyl. Both are recommended late night listens.I'd add this for something a little different: She & Him Vol. 1 - a nice pop-ish LP with great arr... | |
Choosing Between 2 Turntables I am biased in my suggestion but I went with a Garrard 301 and Steve's plinth based on what I've read and seen. He previously sold me my current phono amp, Manley Steelhead, as well as provided me with great advice on tubes for the Steelhead.Going... | |

Loricraft Record Cleaning Hello - I am receiving a Loricraft PRC-4 today when Mr. UPS arrives.What are some of the cleaning fluids others have used with this machine? Do you use the spray cleaner that comes with the unit? Do you manually scrub with the brush before using t... | |
How much better is the Scoutmaster vs. Scout? I have owned both the Scout and the Scoutmaster. The Scoutmaster outshines the Scout in bass slam and detail retrieval. I currently own the Scoutmaster with ring clamp and HRX center weight. If you can afford the clamp and weight, they really make... |
