| Kiseki = what to do? I would try Phono Cartridge Retipping for this. I have used them and Soundsmith for cartridge services. | |
| Best $600 integrated for Monitor Audio RX-2? I posted earlier, but it must have been lost in the monitoring process.I was referring to the original Roksan integrated not the Kandy. It listed for $1,500 new and if you can find one it should be close to your price range.I think there is a pict... | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? Based on the quote below from Michael Fremer's review of the BMC MCCI he does not think it is the best, and it is not compatible with some MC cartridges."I'm not suggesting the MCCI is in the same league as the Ypsilon VPS-100, Boulder 2008, or ot... | |

| Best $600 integrated for Monitor Audio RX-2? Maybe you could find a Roksan Caspian integrated. I think that would be a good match. | |
| Proac D40R's-amp dilemma-low or high power? Ben, I currently own ProAc D 2.5, and I have owned Tablettes, Response 2, and Studio 140 models.I do not own, but have heard the D40R on many occasions, so you should consider this when you read my comments.On a number of occasions I have heard th... | |
| Tonearm Options for Basis 2800 Thanks Larryi and Jwm. I had a new belt for my Basis that I had not installed and it made a significant positive difference. The individual instruments were more focused.Moryoga, glad to hear the Vector 4 fit on your new turntable. | |
| Pro-Ject turntables In the $2,500 to $6,000 range you do have a large number of choices. I have a Basis and a SME 10. I can readily recommend both, they are great turntables; and both can be bought used in your price range. | |
| Sumiko Blackbird Soundsmith Rebuild Level? Try contacting Andy at www.phonocartridgeretipping.com.He may be able to help you. I have used his services before, not for your specific problem though, and been very happy with his work and the pricing. | |
| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? You could try a used Proac Response 2 or the newer D-2 | |
| Tonearm Options for Basis 2800 Did you buy another Basis? I saw that you purchased the 2200. Did you now buy a 2800 as well?Let me know if you want to sell the 2200. I will buy it for the same price you paid. | |
| Tonearm Options for Basis 2800 You can put a Vector 4 on your turntable, but it has to be a high cup arm, due to the platter height, which is what Mr. Conti tried to explain, I am guessing.It will be difficult to better the Basis Vector on that turntable, but maybe the Superarm... | |
| What benefits to expect from tonearm upgrade Schubert, are you still looking for a replacement for your ADC LMF tonearm or did you find a new stylus for your ADC XLM cartridge? | |
| What benefits to expect from tonearm upgrade Schubert, when I reread my post I can see it may not have been clear. The Basis Vector tonearm was far superior to the Basis modified Rega tonearm. The difference was to me astonishing because I did not think changing just the tonearm could make s... | |
| What benefits to expect from tonearm upgrade I agree with you Kiddman.Gondo101, my experience was that images resolved into individual instruments, and there was no smearing. It was easy to follow the musical line from individual instruments. The difference between the Basis modified Rega ar... |
