| Ortofon --- A90 or SPU 90th? I own both the A90 and the SPU 90th Anniversary--but as Br3098 says, the SPU is a match made in heaven for the Schick. It sounds wonderful on my 301/Schick. The A90 is mated to my Micro Seiki setup, and performs very well there. Horses for courses... | |
| Shun Mook Record Weight Skos1 wrote:"I never said the TTWeights has poor build quality, just lousy sound! (and yes too expensive IMHO)"But $1350 for the Harmonic TU-812 Mk II is reasonably priced? | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? I don't want to enter the debate here about the merits of either tonearm mentioned by the original poster, but I am surprised to read that there is a consensus shared in this thread that azimuth adjustment is apparently a completely perfunctory an... | |
| An audio transformation - R2R Bob,It was great toshare in your excitement of listening to tape! I think every audiophile owes it to themselves to explore this wonderful format. | |
| SPU cartridges - opinions? Thanks again to everyone who replied--the feedback is very helpful.Right now I'm leaning towards finding an SPU-G 90th Anniversary model and after listening to it, I may try adding a spherical-stylus SPU in the future.Again, thanks everyone! | |
| SPU cartridges - opinions? Thank you everyone--this feedback is very helpful! Please keep the comments coming.Any specific users of both spherical and elliptical SPU styli models who could comment on the differences?Thanks again--Kip | |

| Mobile Fidelity Surface Noise Syntax wrote:"The only real top class reissues are those from Acoustic Sounds."While I agree many of those are wonderful, I have to say for consistently spectacular sound and high-quality (low-noise) vinyl, the Music Matters Blue Note reissues hav... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Peterayer--I completely agree with your assessment of Steve Dobbins' room. I would have to say it was my favorite at the show. I happened to prefer the Allnic with piano music, too, however. But that's just me! When I closed my eyes, it sounded mo... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge I think trying to "stay at the cutting edge" is now, more than ever, unproductive. Change happens in this industry much faster than it used to, and the incremental changes are just that--incremental. The word "value" has to come into the decision-... | |
| Benz Micro LP S vs Air Tight PC-1 w/ files Dear Peterayer,Yes, to clarify--and based on your post from last year, you may find it abstruse--I did this listening comparison with the digital files the OP posted. I realize this may cause you to dismiss my ramblings entirely; however, I heard ... | |
| Benz Micro LP S vs Air Tight PC-1 w/ files Coming rather late to this, but I downloaded these files over a year ago and just got around to listening to them carefully this morning. I'm in the market for a new cartridge and thought it would be fun to give the comparison a go.I find the orig... | |

| Graham Phantom II VS Vector 4 Tonearm Ebm wrote:"Graham sounds better Wonderful arm great build quality."I've followed some of Ebm's more outrageous proclamations on AGon, but this one takes the giddy biscuit. Completely unhelpful, IMO. I would suggest seeking out in-person comparison... |
