| Are scratch LPs part of the game ? Has2be-So...you take a lamp LP shopping with you? Maybe you just ask record shop owners to put in a skylight before you'll shop there? Maybe florescent is cheaper, but it sure doesn't help identify record flaws before buying. ;-) | |
| Are scratch LPs part of the game ? Elizabeth is absolutely correct. That's why there's more florescent lighting in record stores than, even, incandescent. Often, when I get home and get a good look at what I bought...well, it's only money. | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Mepearson-Now that Raul, audiophile's audiophile has deemed your system too full of limitations to fully appreciate the pivots he supports, you no longer have a chance to get your point across. There are enough different pieces of equipment for al... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? I swapped out a Linn LP12 for the Mitsubishi LT-30 I currently use. Without question, they are different animals. My LT-30 is far easier to set up than a pivoted table. Although my table has had a few upgrades (WBT connectors, extra damping, upgra... | |
| Seeking high quality lightweight head shells I also use an Orsonic headshell, although it says Audioquest on it. It's likely the AV-1. | |
| Clavis Soundsmith retip Mr Carr, thank you for your response. I believe most of us here (and on other sites) really just want to help each other. Often, because we've spent an excessive amount of time or money developing specific audio items or systems in our homes, we f... | |
| Clavis Soundsmith retip Dear Nrenter. There's nothing about being thin-sinned regarding the post/responses. Everyone is encouraged to have an opinion and present it to the masses. It simply doesn't need to be presented in a manner which sounds like a know-it-all, holier-... | |
| Clavis Soundsmith retip Wow Jcarr. Your response makes me glad I bought a ZYX instead of a Lyra. You really should've responded by private email. I'll never buy a Lyra. | |
| Choosing a new turntable A couple of years ago, I swapped out my LP12 with an upgraded Mitsubishi LT-30 linear turntable. With all of the upgrades, I have about $1200-$1500 in it (including the original $500 purchase price). It is extremely easy to set up and the upgrades... | |

| budget digital interconnect Part Express-another vote. | |
| Lp's you'd like to see remastered Theo, I have a MoFi of "The Pretender". Does that qualify as remastered? | |
| Direct Drive turntables Not all DD are equal. My Lt-30 is magnetically driven and has been superbly upgraded. It is also a linear arm. Generally Elizabeth's opinions have merit, however, not this time. | |
| Recommended interconnect phono to preamp I'm another VdH user. Mine is the Integration. I've used it on both an LP12 and my current LT-30 | |
| Kirksaeter Silverline 60 I own Kirksaeter 220's and use them in a room similar to the one you describe. I've heard the 60's at the local dealer but in a much smaller room. You might try the local dealer for more info (Rick @ Audioforce 563-505-6462). The US Importer, Ray ... |
