| Air Tight ATM-300R or Shindo Cortese 300B Can you avoid the terrible taxes by buying used? | |
| So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy! +1 for Atma-Sphere MP-1 fully loaded. It is about $28K but about the best for vinyl. The phono stage is not merely an add on but takes up half the preamp-8 of 18 tunes (12AT7s and 6SN7s).And be sure to roll the AT7s for NOS! | |
| There us a Worldwide Panic on Availability of Vacuum Tubes Some NOS tubes are hard to find. Eg.:Mullard 12AT7.And NOS WE 300B prices have become outrageous.I think people are hoarding them as precious commodities.I luckily scored 12 AT7s from a collector. The improvement over my Chinese was huge and worth... | |
| More watts or better power ? +1 for Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables. They are not expensive and probably the best available at any price. A no brainer.Then as good a cartridge as you can afford. Source is critical.If your amp is not clipping, you will not benefit from mor... | |
| The Miller Carbon Story For me, even an entry level TT rig surpasses digital.Sure the relative SQ is low but the physicality of the vibration of the stylus is an organic sound. | |
| Power cord choice? +1 Shunyata”find a nice used Shunyata cord and be happy”. | |
| AUDIO RESEARCH VS VTL I have always liked the AR chassis. Cool and solid.About Lyra cartridges, I feel very fortunate to have an Atlas SL.Unbelievable upgrade from my Myajima Shalabi. | |

| Townshend platforms vs SRA platforms So, am I to understand that the Townshend platforms use some kind of spring? Think this refers to my op. Or are the Townshends actually more on the solid side? BTW-the SRA Ohio Class platforms considerably more than the Tp.Then we have the perenni... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? I well remember the Spectron Musician III and II.The latter being better.It was one of the first Class D amps. It also used an analog ps.A quite large transformer. It sounded great. There were some failure issues though. And the company was a bit ... | |
| Power cord choice? A free flow of electrons for those last few feet is critical.I recently replaced a good $600 pc with a better $500 one and the sound must have increased by 25%+. | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? "Things need to be kept honest here, if not this forum would have been overrun by fusers threads."Honestly, what about the subject of this thread? | |
| Townshend platforms vs SRA platforms SRA was clearly sure that any pods or feet defeat the function of their platforms. They said that the platforms are designed to work with the stock feet. Although I do use Stillpoints with my TT platform. And Ralph uses them with his preamp too.My... | |
| Townshend platforms vs SRA platforms BTW-IsoAcoustics seems to be similar to Townshend. That is using rubber. | |
| Townshend platforms vs SRA platforms Hi ChuckI was surely thinking of you when I posted.SRA is oriented toward end users whom are at the point of destination when ordering. In a way, this amplifies things when applied to beloved, forever components.And there is quite a difference wit... |
