| Wadia 861 GNSC Reference Upgrade A second to Mejames' and Markvetnz's statements: "A" is my only choice, and my Supratek Chenin made a pre-amp vs no pre-amp believer out of me. | |
| Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth Albert: Thanks for the good DCD history and the heads-up on "This Mortal Coil, It'll End In Tears". I always enjoy your posts!I have several of DCD's CD's, and enjoy them very much, but after recently jumping back into the wonderful world of vinyl... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? I've been intrigued by Mr. Rankins Cosecant, since originally hearing about the concept, but can't seem to find reviews, or comments on how a PC Hardrive, CD Drive, to Cosecant sounds in comparison with high-end CDP's. At $3,500 + PC are we talkin... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Kevin (Ella4ever): My purchase of a Chenin was motivated by this thread. Planning on a return to vinyl, I needed a pre-amp with phono (was running a Waida direct into my amps). Just thought I would advise that the Chenin exceeded my expectations. ... | |
| Supratek ?? Bought my Chenin to primarily get back to spinning vinyl, as I was running my Wadia 861 CDP direct into my CAT amps. While the on-going debate exists between those who prefer a CDP direct and those who do not, I can attest that the Wadia sounds be... | |
| Best customer service? Mondial designs! Several years ago, I took a well-out-of-warranty Aragon 4004 MKII amp to a local repair facility, and when picking it up, they advised that Mondial Design supplied the needed part gratis -- certainly top notch customer support!!While this was befo... | |
| LP storage? What do you use? An inexpensive, solid cabinet was found :-) Returning to vinyl after a couple decade hiatus, I was quite happy to find an inexpensive ($24.99), sturdy, and assembled cabinet perfect for vinyl storage, and thought I would share.It was purchased fro... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar1: Along the way in my recent return to vinyl sojourn, I came across a woodworker that builds custom maple sandboxes (with dovetailed corners etc.), platforms, stands, racks etc... http://timbernation.com/ampstand_PopUp.cfm. I purchased a cus... | |
| CAT JL-3 mono amplifier I'm currently using JL-1's and would love to hear the difference between them, and the JL-2, and of course the JL-3's. Congrats.on your amp find! I was amazed when I first heard the JL-1's, and continue to be a very satisfied CAT amp owner. | |
| Sending Equipment out of Country for Repair/Servic I agree, with Steveaudio, live in Canada, buy Canadian equipment. As a U.S. citizen, "there are so many great"...Amercian..."audio companies; I might be tempted to stick with those". Why would I want to buy: "Sim, Bryston, Classe, Totem, Magnum Dy... | |
| What readily available LP's should I consider Rushton: Oops, in my previous post I meant to mention that another thread that you posted to, consisted of a very descriptive dissertation about vinyl gram weight. It proved very informative to my "back to the future" vinyl sojourn – kudos upon ku... | |
| What readily available LP's should I consider Rushton: Thought you might like to know that my first vinyl purchase in a couple of decades, included the following two items that you strongly encouraged:Stravinsky: The Firebird (Complete Ballet)Mendelssohn: Symphony 3 ‘Scotch’ & Fingal’s Ca... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Amandarae: Nice try! Chiding a toddler's disruptive behavior without consequences, begets more of the same. The emotional age of some is unknown, so simple chiding is impossible, and results in more of the same. Why? Because they can! Yep, speaker... | |
| What readily available LP's should I consider Rushton: I've had a 16.5 ordered for several weeks and am wondering if I'm every going to receive it. VPI says nothing is backordered, my local dealer hasn't seen it yet. Certainly, before I play even one lp, they will be cleaned first. The record... | |
| What readily available LP's should I consider Dirtyragamuffin: I was wondering about the 30th anniversary Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon". I too have an early 1970's pressing. When I purchased my first "real" system -- JVC Integrated, Dual Table, ESS Heil AMT 3 Speakers -- I recall phoning... |
