| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? We are all entitled to our opinions Geoff. I think if you are going to make a comment saying someone's system, or portions of it are inadequate, you should show what you have as a comparison. | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? "randy-11if you think that vinyl sounds better, then your system is inadequate and you need a more resolving system with a better DAC"If you are going to make comments like this you should post your system on Audiogon. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro,Thanks for your very informative post. I had a similar experience with a Vibraplane, which I still use.I have heard the Herzan is effective far beyond the Vibraplane and Minus K. Did you happen to try either of those and if so could you com... | |

Nordost Sort Kone and Sort Fut make a positive difference that is easily heard.Although not found in catalogs, the Vibraplane also made a positive improvement under my turntable.Your experience many vary, but probably not.Best Regards,Jim Perry | |

| Looking for recs for my first foray into MC cartridges... Chakster, I am sure the Allnic Puritas ($4,950), Miyajima Shilabi ($2,800) or Kansui ($3,600) are all great cartridges, but the OP said his budget was $500.Any other thoughts? | |
| Looking for recs for my first foray into MC cartridges... At your price range I would look for a lightly used Shelter 501 or 501 II. Very nice sounding cartridge with reasonable output. A great value lightly used or with a SoundSmith retip.The Garrard 301 with Schick is a nice combination. | |

| Isolation products for Integrated Amplifier and Computer used for playing audio Try the Nordost Sort Kone | |
