| Marantz Professional CDR-500? Oops! Curse that "refresh" button! | |
| Led Zeppelin 2 First pressing Hey Dave, I'm totally talking out of my a**, but in my limited experience U.K. first pressings of that time frame on Atlantic had the red/purple labels, and subsequent pressings had the more common green/red. First pressings are just that, first f... | |
| Marantz Professional CDR-500? Dekay - my previous player was a Linn Genki. It's a pretty good player in it's own right, but the Marantz has a more relaxed, smooth, and detailed sound to my ears (via Tara Air2). Of course I went with Sedond-endorsed tube preamp at approximately... | |

| Marantz Professional CDR-500? I've had one of these units for about 4 months or so, and can heartily endorse it. Recording is painless either CD-->CD or from an analog source. Playback from either CDRs or "redbook" CDs is surprisingly good (after about 50 hrs break-in), bes... | |
| TT/ cartridge recommendations $1000 I would bet it sounds pretty good - a caveat being to check out the stylus on the Glider. The VPI Jr. is a good choice, as it has the upgrade path option if you decide to pursue vinyl more seriously. I also believe that the AQ arm can be upgraded ... | |
| DENON DL-130,Still a good cartridge? Do you mean the DL-103?? If so, I've got one coming in the mail any day now. I'll mount it up and letcha know. | |
| one whiskey,one scotch,one beer Wasn't that originally a John Lee Hooker song? I think maybe....... | |
| TT/ cartridge recommendations $1000 Leafs: Your situation is indeed a rarity, and I'm happy for you that you scored a good rig on the cheap. Bigo: If you're willing to go 1.5K, then I'd advise using something like a Grado Prestige series cartridge on a 1.5K used table and arm. You c... | |
| TT/ cartridge recommendations $1000 At the risk of inducing a littany of negatives (don't care), I'll give my .02. To answer the question of whether or not a *good sounding* (subjective assessment) TT/arm/cartridge can be had for this system, I'd say probably not. Why would you set ... | |
| I'm moving--advice please Since your current system is lacking in analog, do check out the Thomas Scheu designed turntables (and arm). These apparently have made quite a name for themselves in Europe, but have yet to make significant inroads in the U.S. From what I can tel... | |
| I am nuts to use these speakers? Tubegroover speaks (er, I mean TYPES) words of wisdom. If it sounds good, go with it. Put on some Coltrane, pop open a bottle of high-end suds, and enjoy what you already know you enjoy for now. | |
| Scientist finds fungus that eats cd's That's kind of a bleak view Jim - you don't sound like much of a "fun-guy" nyuk nyuk | |
| Dogs who love music J_thunders, does your "chowhound" pup happen to be an AmStaff? Mine has a whole different set of priorities than does my ex-girlfriend's Lab/Rotweiler mix. He actually pays attention to things (TV, music) while she has the priorities of an insatia... | |
| Important Info for Meadowlark Owners It's satisfying to see others obtain the same level of enjoyment that my Kestral H.R.s have given me for nearly 3 years! Muzikat, something is up with your Kestrals! Have 'em checked out. If they do check out, I'd go further upstream than the amp ... |
