| Collecting Blue Note Jazz I too have complained about the piano in RVG vinyl recordings. By way of serendipity, I installed a Denon 103r and my complaint is gone. I know my old cartridge was worn. But, and just in my situation, I have found much more detail and high end in... | |
| 3 channel tube amp for home theater? Great explanations and help. Thank you.I actually kind of like the idea of sweetening home theater sound with tubes. But, I just like tubes. I'm going to CES and I look forward to checking this out. I'll also check that other website for more educ... | |

| 3 channel tube amp for home theater? Despite Butler's affinity for adjectives, their three and five channel amps look very interesting.Setup:If I used a five channel amp, does the Home Theater Receiver get replaced with something like a Home Theater Preamp/Processor? Does such a thin... | |
| Why does "Monk's Music" vinyl sound strange? Could your vinyl system or this recording be phase inverted? Jeff | |

| Joule-Electra Destiny mono blocks, Opinions? Dev,Here are a couple of my observations.Preamp: I owned the LA150-mk2.

| Joule-Electra Destiny mono blocks, Opinions? I have owned three Joule components. To say they are "the best" I feel is overstating the case. IMHO. Jeff | |
| Thor 1000 MK2 - Phase Inverting? I listened to several other recordings last night that sounded spatially more open with the Thor phase inverted.In addition to the cd, I've now had the same experience with vinyl (Dire Straits and Lou Donaldson). On the other hand, Cafe Blue (cd) ... | |
| Can excellent tubes transcend modest amps? I recommend buying a better amp and using a good quality tube. I've tried using the "best" tube in amps and preamps for which I had some fundamental complaint, and expensive tubes never resolved the issue for more than a week after the initial blu... | |
| $2500 Tube Amp Recommendations If you chose the Sonus Faber for its warm sound, be aware that the Audio Research gear tends toward the opposite side of the tube scale. If you find the sonus sound too lush, it may balance it toward neutral. Just for my preferences, it could be a... | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r I've got a 103r mounted on one of my graham phantom tonearms. I really enjoy it.Should I experiment with using blue tak to put a nickel or two on the headshell and then adjust the counter-weight?Jeff | |
| Blowing Fuses True Sound in Campell. Excellent. | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? I think the 103 is simply a good performer and a good value, so it has been widely accepted. I look forward to trying the Graham with other cartridges as well. |
