| Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers. Thanks Soix,Just got an offer to buy a pair of Model 1s at $650.00.Trying to bring it down to $600.00.Keeping my fingers crossed. I've heard great things about the Minuets but I have never auditioned a pair. Definitely in my price range if I buy u... | |

| Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers. How good are the Epic 2s now that Music Direct is selling them at 50% off ($399.00)?The Cronus Magnum is capable of producing a hefty 100 WPC so I'm not concerned about sensitivity.I would prefer 8 ohms nominal inpedance (although I could switch t... | |
| Opinions Wanted on changing Turntable Sorry if I offended you sir, it was never my intention. That's fine if you consider them mid-fi at best and overpriced but to try to convince me or others otherwise?Not sure what two Regas you had, maybe old models?Anyway, I'll respect your opinio... | |
| Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers. Good point Soix,Musical speakers desinged with the goal of reproducing music at the highest level. Open 3 dimensional soundstage, spot on imaging, taut bass, uncolored with excellent midrange for the best possible reproduction of the type of music... | |
| Okki Nokki RCM-5 vs VPI 16.5 Then you have no idea how much better your lps will sound when cleaned with a vacuum machine, not to mention the fact that your cart will last much longer! | |
| Okki Nokki RCM-5 vs VPI 16.5 Never tried the Okki Nokki RCM-5.........simpy because I bought the HW-16 in the early 90s and, after two decades, its STILL in perfect working order. I use the Walker Audio Prelude (4 steps) Record Cleaning System with the HW-16 and I've only cha... | |
| Opinions Wanted on changing Turntable 100% agreed Davide256,Its definitely best for the platter and arm assembly to be suspended independednt of the motor to reduce unwanted vibrations. | |
| Opinions Wanted on changing Turntable Or to make it light and stiff and sit the TT on a dedicated sandbox to dissipate all external vibrations.For example, Rega makes the lightest possible chassis with the stiffest possible brace (depending on the model) forming the most rigid possibl... | |
| Super Cheap Placeholder Cartridge Who knows? You may never miss the Platinum!Happy listening! | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers It should NEVER be a matter of money but a matter of preference and synergy.Let me give you a real life example:I'm fortunate enough to be friends with Larry who owns Hollywood Sound (Hollywood FL.) and sometimes we spend countless hours listening... | |
| Opinions Wanted on changing Turntable Why suspension TTs and not unsuspended with dedicated isolation platforms Davide256? | |
| Pro-ject speedbox: Is improvement worth the $ ? Which Graham Slee are you getting Devilboy? We may be able to recommend a cart based on the Slee's specs. | |
| Opinions Wanted on changing Turntable Boy, you must have had a very bad experience with Rega Vernneal. TTs are like cars; some like Mercedes, others BMW, others Lexus, others Audi.To openly state that Regas are mid-fi compared to other brands demonstrate ignorance on your part. | |
| Upgrade question. Rega RP3 or RP6. Pro-ject over Rega? Name one Pro-ject TT you will recommend over the RP6 under $1500.00 Vernneal? I can name you a few TTs I would not hesitate to buy over Pro-ject at $1500.00:Clearaudio ConceptVPI TravelerRega RP6Sota Satellite |
