| Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence None of the arms you mentioned are high maintenance. Thesimplest is the Rega. I currently own the Triplanar and SME IV. The Wheaton is the best arm I've ever owned. It has lots of adjustments but you don't need to touch them after setup. I've owne... | |
| I heard the entire catalog of The Who was going to Classic Records is doing the reissue series. | |
| Small size monitor suggestions Narrow your choices to those that are front ported. | |
| Any other Nicolette Larson fans out there? She died several years ago. Cancer. | |
| Linn LP12 Valhalla 45 rpm Yeah, but a bargain compared to the Lingo and most people consider it superior. Add that to the increasing difficulty of getting worthwhile LP12 support from Linn and it becomes a relative bargain. | |
| Triplanar vs JMW 12.5 on TNT 6 I use the Wheaton on my TNT-6 Hotrod with a Helikon SL. An incredible combination. I can't imagine better soundwithout spending what a new car would cost. | |
| Linn LP12 Valhalla 45 rpm The install is easy and doesn't change the setup. Palasr is correct regarding the force on the pulley when installing the adapter. The key is to shim the pulley before installing the adapter. Then remove the shim. There is plenty of length in the ... | |
| Linn LP12 Valhalla 45 rpm No. There is an adapter that fits over the pulley that will allow 45. They come up on ebay ever so often. Dump the Valhalla and get the OriginLive motor and controller.Works better than Valhalla and provides 45rpm. The best upgrade I ever did on m... | |
| Oracle Delphi MarkII or Music Hall7? Which one? No contest. The Music Hall is a toy in comparison to the Oracle. Still a great table that holds its' own and a piece of audio history. | |
| $2K-$4K Integrated w/ HT Bypass? Magnum Dynalab makes both and integrated and a receiver with HT bypass. Both are killer and, in my opinion, superior to Musical Fidelity. Good luck. | |
| Defy7 or Premier 140? I think the Jadis is superior in that it is more neutral than the CJ but the 140 would probably smooth out the bright Thiel sound in a very nice way. The Jadis will simply present the Thiels as they are which is not to everyone's taste.Wendell | |
| "new" Joni Mitchell album I actually prefer the way she sounds now. Her voice has more character than in her younger days. | |
| Los Angeles & Orange County Audio Society This is a highly recommended event. Lots of nice people at one of the premier high-end audio stores and THE analog expert in Brooks. Unfortunately, I have moved to Louisville and won't be able to attend. If you are in Southern California, do yours... | |
| Need Help w/Audible Illusions Modulus 3a Another option would be the Magnum Dynalab 208 receiver. It is awesome, perhaps the best receiver ever made, for two channel and has pass through for home theater. It can be had used for $2000 or less.Wendell | |
| Buy an Audio Research SP10 MkII or an SP11 MkII ? I agree on the Jadis JP80MC. Without a doubt the finest tube preamp I have ever heard but a whole lot more money than the SP10. I would love to own one but it is more than I can afford.Wendell |
