Thinking about getting into vinyl again...
Wow Abrew19!!!Your ignorance baffles me. You are really missing the point here.It is a fact that ANY turntable, no matter how light or heavy, would greatly benefit from some type of isolation devise.The basic laws of physics tell us that the vibra...

Most compatible phono pre for Lyra Delos
Syntax, Tswisla, and Jcoehler:Thank you for your input on the Chinook but at $2,200.00, its definitely out of my range.I am not completely sold on the Reflex C yet but the price, as well as the two week free trial, sounds extremely tempting so now...

Dear Ctsooner,Great post as well. Just a few comments:The RP6 retails for $1,500.00 but its basically an RP3 with the TT-PSU included which, IMHO, is Rega's least attractive offer. Basically no significant sonic difference from the $200.00 least e...

Now, here we go MI8764ag:1. Plan to spend between $1,300.00 - $1,500.002. Test your A5 amp phono section to find out if it works. If not, you will have to either repair it or go with an external phono pre (which means more money you will need to s...

Dear Abrew19,This is MY opinion and in NO way I am trying to persuade you otherwise.TTs I've owned:Empire Troubador, Technics SL1200 MKII, Denon DP-60L, Pro-ject 6.1SB, Rega P3, VPI Scout, Clearaudio Champion, Well Tempered Classic, Music Hall MMF...

So far:Phonomena NovaHeron VTPH-1mcLinn LintoRega AriaGraham Slee Reflex CParasound JC3All very capable phono stages. Some way over my budget. The Reflex C sounds very tempting at around $1,200.00 with great reviews. With a little luck I may be ab... 
Shrinking my system
Also, the GE Triton 7s have a small footprint, sound like bookshelf speakers with passive radiators (no need for sub), and match extremely well with the Cronus Magnum. Take your Cronus Magnum to a local dealer and give the Triton 7s a try. 
Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer?
My friend Larry Weinstein (Hollywood Sound's owner and audiophile guru for more than 3 decades) always has in display both the WT Amadeus and the Rock 7 in his listening room with Lyra carts driven by RA Hera, Zeus, and Ares and connected to his "... 
Speaker decision $3000-3500...help
Bo,I admire your passion. That said, do me a favor and listen to a pair of Canalis Anima with a 3D source of your liking. Then tell me what you think.Happy listening. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Shahinian Obelisk driven by Plinius, SW Maestro cables.Wow!!!!!!! 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
StraightWire Maestro speaker/interconnect cables. 20 years in my system, everything else has come and gone. 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Tempranillo on any given night, P Grigio on a warm afternoon. 
Speaker decision $3000-3500...help
I beg to differ Bo. No offense but it sounds to me like you're just trying to sell your product. My first real venture into the so called HiFi world started with an Alpha 10, Linn Kan, and SL1200MKII (let me guess, 2D?). Well, it sounded fantastic...
