| The Beatles albums finally all remastered That should pretty much pay for the Heather Mills divorce for Paul. It is really too bad that there is not also an LP release as well. I hope that there is a nice vinyl follow-up. | |
| B+O turntable problem I am not familiar with that table but it would seem that checking the typcial set-up (VTA, VTF, alignment) would be something to check. Benny at Amina/modular is top rate, really knows his stuff. | |

| best value - record cleaning machine The best option depends a lot on the volume of cleaning that you expect to be doing and the type of records that you will be requiring. I agree with above that a KAB-EV1, VPI 16.5, and steam cleaning are great alternatives and "work". If you are b... | |
| No output on New LS26 Theo, it is so great to read the positive outcomes from dealing with great dealers and companies that stand behind their products. I hope you enjoy your unit!! Congrats. | |
| which is your favorite inexpensive stereo system? If it were me, I would go with a vintage Kenwood or Marantz receiver, some advents or mission speakers, and used Jolida or Musical Fidelity CDP, or better yet a technics 1200 turntable. | |
| Sell and refurbish? Ait, excellent job that looks beautiful. I heard an old Kenwood receiver the other day that was pretty damn stout (hadn't been refurbished). Maybe the best thing to do would be to keep the Rotel until you get the Sansui back and make a fair shoot-... | |
| Tubes: Which is best? Another vote for the gold lion re-issues. Excellent. | |
| Usher 6371 vs Von Schweikert VR4jr Don't forget that there are two versions of the 4JR. It would be worth having a good understanding of the differences. I owned the first version and it is a tremendous performer but don't know of differences with the MKII version.I have heard Ushe... | |
| Musical full-range in the $3-4K range used? I agree, the VSA 4JR should be on the list for sure. | |
| Clearaudio Emotion lacks dynamics I have a satisfy arm and getting the VTA correct can make a very big difference. I set mine (arm/cart level to the LP) for heavier/thicker records and then use a thin felt mat with thinner records. I see now why having an easy way to recalibrate V... | |
| Your Best HiFi DVD The Alice in Chains Unplugged is my favorite. | |
| Gallo 3.1 vs. B&W 804 vs. faber grand piano I apologize that I didn't read the post that I referenced carefully if laid back is what was meant. The B&Ws are definetely not laid back. I found them to sound very precise, but lean and forward and too easily fatiguing. | |
| Gallo 3.1 vs. B&W 804 vs. faber grand piano I agree with Magnumpi205 except I haven't heard the gallos. I would also suggest a look at von schweikert 4jrs. | |
