| Phono stage--please help Considering your system is solid-state, I would heartily agree with either the AR PH3 or the EAR. These would give your system a boost of warmth and three-dimensionality. Haven't heard the EAR nor the upgraded PH3, but the original PH3 is a great-... | |
| I need TT Help: Please advise I kinda doubt it's a Planar 9 with the S tonearm. Probably an older P-3, as the P-9 came standard with the RB-900 arm which has a different mounting scheme from the older Rega arms. If it is a P-3, you could pursue Origin Live updates for the arm ... | |
| Any Famous people on Audiogon ? Well, my dog seems to think I'm famous.........Hey Britney, are those things real or did you buy them? That money would have been better spent on vinyl than silicone! | |
| Heavy Metaller needs some class ical . Check out violin works by Paganini (Niccolo). He was an Italian violin virtuoso of the late 18th/early 19th century. He really "pushed the envelope" by employing harmonics, double and triple stops, and even used alternative tuning of the instrumen... | |
| Third Party turntable motors Yeah, I have an LP-12 with an O.L. DC motor kit. My Valhalla PS went kaput, so I yanked the whole deal and installed the O.L. It's ASTOUNDINGLY good compared to the Linn PS/motor. Definitely extended it's life span w/ me whilst I contemplate my ne... | |
| RB300 arm for LP12 If you're dead-set on using a Rega arm on an LP-12, I would humbly suggest the Origin Live modified RB-250 in lieu of a stock RB-300. Check out the website at www.originlive.com for details. Some of our other members are using this arm with great ... | |
| Best Reagae CD ? Bob Marley "Natty Dread" Indespensable. | |
| Tuntable set-up mistakes? Charlie, the table which engenders the most press regarding set up is the Linn LP-12. While a pretty good value used (NOT new - MANY better choices at the price point), it does require proper set up by a QUALIFIED "tweakologist." I think a lot of ... | |
| Jan Allaerts cartridges Thanks for bringing your erudition back to the thread, Slawney! Your previous comments regarding Allaerts played no small role in my decision to go "off the beaten track" in my quest for a true high-end moving coil. Your "estimations" of the specs... | |
| Cartridge recs for VPI JMW arm Please My advice is to keep the IO and mount the CJ!! While the Aries/JMW12/Crown Jewel is not in the same league *ultimately* as the IO, it is no slouch! The IO will allow you to hear your setup at it's FULL potential. BTW, I don't believe that a 12" ar... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Recording IMHO, the majority of the MFSL catalog is *very* good - I own about forty or so titles, mostly on LP. As with any label, they have a few "misses," and critics focus on these - mainly with the criticism of "midrange suckout." The most obvious examp... | |
| Jan Allaerts cartridges To any who may be interested, after a months-long wait, I have at last received my Allaerts MC-1 Boron cartridge, which I decided to buy sound-unheard from an off-shore dealer (having not imposed on either a dealer - [are there ANY in the U.S.?], ... | |
| Best version of Aqualung on CD? If you're referring to the "Sound Noise Shaping System" version with the added interviews, I mistakenly bought it on vinyl - it sucks! So far, it seems that the best version of Aqualung is by DCC. As with many of their re-masters, they are the def... | |
| C/W music Audiogon members Damn! TWO people beat me to that one! Oh Well.....;-) | |
| C/W music Audiogon members One can hardly claim to be a music lover without acknowledging the import/influence of "da white blues." While C&W per se isn't my first choice, it's influence in music that I do love is undeniable - e.g. covers of Hank Williams and Patsy Clin... |
