Need an Entry Level Phono Preamp
The vp-129 hum issue is old news. There was a grounding issue that Bellari acknowlged and they have since fix the problem. All of the newer models sound great.Lucas

I agree. Buy a Rega P3. You will NEVER regret it. They are simply wonderful devices. Plus, there are a plethera of upgrades to the Rega tables and they are in high demand for resale. 
Lube for turntable - What do you prefer?
Being a mechanical engineer, I can tell you that it is fairly straigh forward to pull out a machine design text and look for lubrication weight formulas. It's all based on hydrostatic forces created by the oil between two rotation cylindrical surf...

Link worked for me. Interesting stuff on that page. 
Sony DVP9000ES as a Redbook Transport?
Theoretically, ANY transport should produce IDENTICAL bit for bit output. The true digital output is either 1 or 0. The only way one transport would sound better than another is if it somehow interacts in a "better" way. Perhaps certain DACs perfo... 
Amplifiers: High Current? High Voltage?

Dgarretson, that settles it, next time I see the SACDs im going to pick them up.Ok, so I went home last night and pulled out my small Stones collection. I have a copy of the MOFI Sticky Fingers. It sounds pretty good, but it doesn't blow my socks ...

What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000
I have auditioned several pieces of equipment on a set of ProAc D80s. I was impressed. They will absolutly fill a big room, but they like a great deal of juice to get the woofers going. 
Bellari VP129 thoughts/experiences?
Bellari acknowledge the hum on their website (www.rolls.com). They say it is a grounding issue ( http://www.rolls.com/new/serv.html) and that you should connect the turntable to the "reciever" ground. Hehehe, now that I have said that, I just real... 
Sony XA777ES or Rega Apollo for Redbook CD's
I had the opportunity to audition the new Rega Apollo a couple of weekends ago. The setup was: Levinson ML-7, ML-3, Levinson Interconnects, some LARGE gauge speaker cables (looked like nice stuff and it wasn't Monster), and a set of ProAc Response... 
Little red gun next to turntable.
The family radaion kit is the coolest thing I've seen all week! Krusty2k, how does it work? Does it make the those neat, yet kreepy ticking noises that the dectors in movies make? 
Little red gun next to turntable.
Those old wrist watches that glowed in the dark, yeah, they killed a whole bunch of old ladies who worked in the factory. Most of the old ladies woud lick the bristles to make a fine tip for painting arms and numbers. The ladies that didn't die lo...
