| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Norm; a followup to Peterayer's question....when you did (or if you did) compare the Halcyonics to the Stillpoints under the turntable, was the Halcyonics on a totally grounded rack with no de-coupling? in other words, was the Halcyonics optimized... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? how do the other EMT tt's compare to the 927? such as the 948, for instance?i know the 927 is an idler, while the 948 is direct drive. i owned a Garrard 301 for a few years and did enjoy it's 'meaty' presentation on certain music, but in the end i... | |
| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... Stereotaipei,if you really need to verify what happened just ask the dealer who sold the Q7's to the guy. Alon can put you in touch with him.i know where all the MM7's are and that the Q7 owner has not heard any of them yet. at some point he may t... | |
| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... Of course, the guy listing his Q7s on audiogon at the moment begs to differ and found himself something he likes better (the Evolution Acoustics MM7 to be precise). And then there is a pair of Evolution Acoustics MM3 listed. The seller of these is... | |
| Mc Anna , Lyra Titan or DynaVector XV 1s i'm an MC Anna owner and love it.....it's the best cartridge i have heard.but if you are looking for alternatives to the Anna that would be more the Lyra Atlas (or Olympos SL if you can find one), not the Titan i. and more the XV-1t, not the XV-1s... | |
| Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet at RMAF i learned about another 'trick' for the 'white wipers' from the 'Elusive Disc' guy who was demo'ing the Audio Desk.he said to take a 'twist tie', those wires with a paper wrap, and insert the twist tie (laying flat against the flat back of... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne in case it has not already been pointed out, at RMAF the MMMicro stand's spikes were resting on the Wave Kinetics 2UN's decoupling footers.i'm using these on my loaner Unifield 3's and i will be using 2 sets of 8 on my MM7's.these really work well. | |

| Beatles Reissues on VINYL Finally For the vinyl purists out there, isn't it true that vinyl that comes from digital still has the problems associated with digital, and in fact is digital played with a needle? This is like the old AAD cd's only put back on vinyl. It's fake vinyl. T... | |
| Beatles Reissues on VINYL Finally Yawn, yawn, yawn.Beatles on vinyl mastered from PCM. what the vinyl loving world does not need. most of us have multiple pressings of all these albums and don't need another.this is not a comment on the sound, which i expect to be pretty good, may... | |
| Replicant 100 stylus longevity - truth or myth? Great to have the input from an actual user!i've owned 3 A90's, and now own an Anna.i did compare one of my low hour A90's to a friends (a tonearm designer who plays his all the time) high hour one (well in excess of 1000 hours) and no difference ... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review David,above you mentioned how much you liked the SME 30 when you heard it. i agree it's a fine turntable. you see used one's with an SME arm in the 'around' $15k + or - range frequently. you could do much worse than buying one of those, adding a c... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review David,i have 10,000 reasons (my Lp collection) to optimize vinyl. however, no doubt that top level vinyl performance does require a sizable commitment. and simply the physical commitment to the space, fine-tuning and energy to change Lps is not fo... | |
| Isolation Devices: Any Good Ones? i'm a big fan of the Wave Kinetics A10-U8's under components. i use 8 sets of 4 in my system. some light-weight gear i use 3 underneath, my 60 pound amplifier i use 6 underneath. lowers the noise floor, increases detail, transient snap, and image ... | |
| What is approx. percentage of your total i had 12K or 13K Lps total a couple years ago; now i'm around 10k Lps. i culled the herd of fluf and crud that came with a few collections i acquired.there are approx 3k Lps upstairs in the rec room that are somewhat organized but not cleaned or l... |
