| Bach Unaccompanied Violin Sonatas-Johanna Martzy I just bought the vinyl reissue of Johann Martzy playing Dvorak's Violin Concerto. This is a monophonic recording in decent sound, but the performance is exquisite. I plan to check out other recordings from this violinist. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Mozart Piano Concerto #18, Murray Perahia, ECO. wonderful performance and beautiful vinyl. | |
| Best cartridge for sme 312S tonearm I am currently using an Ortofon 2M Black with my 312S and Technics SP10 MK2a and Porter Plinth. I think the arm and cartridge work extremely well together. | |
| SP-10 Mat I use the Herbie's mat on both my SP 10MK3 and MK2A and really like them. They allow a very natural and unperturbed view of the midrange and highs...possibly less perfect in the bass (maybe a slight sloppiness there). They reduce noise. I have tri... | |
| Bach Unaccompanied Violin Sonatas-Johanna Martzy Thanks. The Testament releases were all I could find as well. Ella4ever, any comments on sonic differences between the CDs and vinyl would be appreciated. | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear Thuchan, I am using both the Benz LPS and Benz LP into the Boulder 2008. I have settled at 500 ohms, but I haven't experimented much around this value. | |

I tried installing "clip in" connecto... | |

Another I've enjoyed over the years is the Karajan performance on DVD, live from the 1979 Easter Festival. I think this performance does a good job of ca... | |

I scanned through the comments and offer a Beethoven 4th for consideration: Carlos Kleiber, Bayerisches Staatsorchester on the Orfeo D'Or label (Live Recording) C100841A. As I recall, this CD ... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Hi Lewm - My system is: Focal speakers and subwoofers; Boulder electronics, Tara cables throughout (for phono cables, in addition to Tara, Graham IC70 and Huffman). For turntables, Technics SP 10 MK3 and MK2a and Denon DP 80 direct drives, several... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm I posted these same comments on Albert Porter's system thread. I also thought it might be useful on this thread, since I touch on all three drive systems that are the subject of this thread (Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm).My Technics SP... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question I am "Ken" referred to above. I finally have my Krebs-modified Technics SP10 MK2A up and running and have posted comments over on Albert Porter's system thread about this table generally and also in comparison to the Technics SP10 MK3. Apologies f... | |
