| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path I just wanted to mention something on the suspended vs non-suspended topic. I own an Oracle turntable and the springy floors in my apartment meant that I had to custom build a solution to isoalate the entire rack I use(Michael Green rack) from thi... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar, I didn't mean to imply that only money would be the deciding factor. I meant that in the case of an aesthetic tie that "value" would be the key. By value I mean a combination of performance, price and aesthetic factors. This would be determ... | |
| What tattoo to get next? I got a tattoo of a tube amp. Then I decide to replace the stock tubes with some nice Mullard gold pins. Then I replaced those with some Telefunkens. Now I got no room for those sweet Amperex Hollands that I want in there.....I guess it's laser re... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar,I think what's going to happen between these tables is going to come down to value. I have a feeling that I am going to end up owning a Teres when all is said and done. The Galibier is pushing the price envelope and while I am looking to get... | |
| Buy Oracle Turntables They've been great to me over email about some questions I had concerning my table. In fact I bought a new clamp from them recently and the turnaround time for sending a personal check to Canada was much faster than I anticipated. Very nice people. | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Woo hoo! This is the kickenest thread! I really dug Artar's Husserlian Foggy Mountain Breakdown vis a vis the turntable qua analog reproduction system. And twl's Q.E.D. response to those dodging the breakdown to posit the superiority of the cartri... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path ArtarI recently saw another thread here at Audiogon where there was Teres shoot-out and the platter change between the 255 and the 265 was not a large difference in sound. This has me thinking that perhaps I might go to a 255. I am unsure of the G... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Thanks Artar1! I'm getting a lot out of dovetailing my questions into this thread. Twl - Perhaps you could comment more on the Schroeder, I haven't seen much information on what can be accomplished with the various materials for the tonearm. I lik... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Doug,Thanks for muddying the waters! Kidding. Actually one of my concerns was that the Teres height adjuster would be a major plus. I am not that proficient with fiddling around with tonearms yet and while I had considered a Basis Vector (with the... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path SalectricThanks for the insight. It is most helpful. Because of my budget I would be getting the PVC platter but perhaps I could stretch. I am trying to buy a turntable that I will be happy with for a loooooooong time since I am looking at going b... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path This is one of the most interesting threads I've run across! And it's so relevant to my own TT upgrade research! I searched on Galibier since at this point I am trying to decide between the Quattro Alu and the Teres 265. When I started searching m... | |
| Sonic Frontiers line 3 vs. AR 25 II Funny because I own a Power 2 and it had a problem with the right channel and I spoke to Frank as well. It's on its way back home right now. He didn't fix it for free but I bought this used and it was cheap to fix (shipping was the main cost)and I... | |
| Best Amp/Preamp/CD or DAC for Wilson Watt Puppy 7 I recently heard the 7's with an all Levinson system and while I was very impressed with the gigantic imaging and control, I thought the Levinson sound was too hard. I later heard the Sophia's with a Musical Fidelity system and while I missed the ... | |
| would you bother? Do it cheap, forget those guys who are spinning tales of thousands of dollars! For years I was a record collector with a cheap technics into a boombox to play my 2000+ LP's and 1000 7's! Then a friend gave me an old NAD and I dropped major bucks- ... | |
| Personal amp evolution Funny to see this thread going so long but thought the Adcom starting thread was amusing. Since that Panasonic LP/Tape console thing some punk roommate left behind in '83, or that JVC Boombox I plugged that BIC 'table I stole from my cousin doesn'... |
