| TESTING DIFFERENT DECKS AND ARM COMBOS @lewm I have no problem with any opinion you may foist 😁 I just think that fixing all parameters save a single component may well be quite futile - ie put an SME v on a Linn and it is not good at all whereas say a cheaper Linn Akito does work.... | |
| TESTING DIFFERENT DECKS AND ARM COMBOS @lewm its more a discussion as to what is a better form of evaluating a component or system | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @drbond for a man that says he knows little about turntables - I commend your choice in the Dohmann Helix. I've heard three vinyl front ends that have stuck with me. One had the FM Acoustics phono stage in a live v recorded demo and nothing i've ... | |
| Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401! can I just say that the Rega and Garrard appear in very different parts of the audio spectrum. The Rega is like a light sportscar and the Garrard a large 4X4. The Rega is all about a lightness and quickness of sound without overhang - the Garrard... | |

| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... @grislybutter i was once of the thought that a phono stage requires less of the budget. However - especially with MC’s they actually have the most difficult job in the amplification chain having to keep noise low and amplify the signal the most.... | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... If it has to be new - the decks you cite have a great variation in sound style and quality. The Rega's are a bit of a Lotus Elise to the Avid Mercedes SL. Do you want to buy new or second hand? For instance second hand would allow you to buy a ... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? @atmasphere Tis ever thus... I keep flirting with the idea of getting a valve integrated for my nearfield set up which has 4 ohm monitors. My current integrated is superb. I am odd coz i love integrateds | |
| amplifiers tube vs. solid state Not sure of ur budget, but the Berning inspired Linear Tube Audio might be your ticket. As to reliability I think that thee late great Tim de Pavaracini said that power tubes have a great lifespan. I spoke to him and he said 300B's should be used... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? @dynamiclinearity thanks for thee superb explanation. May explain why i love solid state. @atmasphere what are the tubes nowadays like? I keep getting the impression that NOS are the best | |

| Rives Parc - does anyone have the BARE software theres a guy called who has a Rives Parc for sale - why not give him a bell? | |
| EMT 948 w/ 929 tonearm. Speak to Benjamin at Dusch Studiotechnik- he’s very helpful- also there’s an EMT page called ‘EMT turntables’ (original I know). Also have you a full set of 948 instructions? If my 950 instructions are anything to go by I bet they are comprehensive | |
| Advice for a new analog system Can I just say there are some other great decks at ur price: Dohmann Helix 2 SME model 30 and the SME Anniversary (it may come with a Nagra phono stage but don’t quote me on that) Technics Sl1000R - direct drive - remember they were one of the ... | |
