| Rega RP8 vs Clearaudio Concept To use any of the above turntables you need a very solid stand preferably with a granite top on a concrete floor. If you have a standard wooden floor you will have to get a wall shelf or you will be bouncing tonearms all over the place. The Rega a... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? Oh and the Swarm system is a bad joke. The people who thought this up have no understanding of acoustics in a usually sized room. It is all about reducing first reflections. All the swarm system does is increase the number of first reflections. Th... | |

| Pre-Preamp? Keep the ARC unit! You will be decidedly unhappy with most other units unless you spend serious money. People have to resist the impetus to change. You wind up wasting a lot of money for minor improvements if even that. If you have money burning a... | |
| Parasound service problems Remember these units are constructed in Taiwan which is why they are so cost competitive. The parts are over there and unless there is a "campaign" on a part they may not have it over here. Personally I would much rather deal with a larger stable ... | |

| Your favourite Rush albums? Moving PicturesSignalsThey put on a great show, seen them twice but after these two albums everything starts sounding the same to me. What can you say to someone who actually likes Bitches Brew? | |
| Why not use a non-contact stylus on a turntable? millercarbon have you checked out the bearing design of the more expensive Clearaudio turntables? Vinyl is the best material we know of for trench warfare but it is far from perfect. Basically it just wears out after 100 playings. That suits the b... | |
| Audio Research Reference 6 or Mark Levinson Reference n32 You need to hear the Ref 6 with the Ref Phono 3 phono amp. If only I had the money. I have heard this combo on big Maggies and all I can tell you is that you would be hard pressed to do significantly better in this life. The ARC line stages are si... | |
| Solid State Preamp Under $8000 You can't go wrong with a Pass Preamp but why not an ARC? The LS 28 is an excellent unit and right in your price range unless you want to shoot for a used Ref 6. You have their Phono amp after all. I love your tonearm. Brilliant design. How do you... |
