Unipivot and suspended TT?
I have used my Naim ARO unipivot on my Linn LP12 very successfully for over a dozen years. It does require that both the arm and table is correctly set up, but the rewards that it brings are spectacular.Seeing as how you already have the Hadcock, ... 
Miss my Dunlavy Speakers, Were to go...
I have had my Dunlavy SCIV's for a dozen years and have heard many high end speakers during that time span. None has ever tempted me into replacing the Dunlavy's from my reference system. The Dunlavy's have always sounded the closest to live music... 
Phono PreAmp with less than a 12" x 15" footprint
Artemis Labs Ph-1 is an awesome all tube phono stage giving you about 53db of gain or the Pl-1 which is the same but gives you step up transformers for low output moving coil cartridges. Great harmonics, dynamics, detail and a very well built with...

Thank you for the comments on the P3's. What kind of amplifiers have you used with them? I have some EL84 amps that put out an amazingly dynamic as well as beautiful 15 watts. Do you think that would work well? 
Are there any Harbeth owners in Wisconsin or near

I'm in Appleton, about 4hrs drive north of downtown Chicago. I'm mostly interested in the Compact 7's and SHL5's. 
Pink Triangle Anniversary vs Raven One
I've got an LP12/Naim ARO analog rig that was modified by Pink Triangle with a new top plate, switching the motor to dc and moving it to the 7:30 position as well as utilizing a DC Battery power supply. It is an awesome combination. Over on the Na... 
Pink Triangle Anniversary vs Raven One
Jaybo,I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "no jump up". Do you mean that the Raven is not a jump up improvement over the Pink Triangle or do you no, it wouldn't be a sideways move and he should jump up to the Raven?Thank you for cla... 
Tube Tuners
I use the McIntosh MR67 tubed tuner and it is incredible sounding. Listening to classical and jazz music over National Public Radio is often times more enjoyable to me than listening to my cd player. Way better than any solid state tuner that I've... 
Rebuilding LP12; which tone arm
I have owned the ARO on the LP12 for many years and can say it is a wonderful combination. What I like about it is that the music is portrayed in a very balanced way by not over emphasizing one area over another. It allows the excellent detail, ha...

New ECM Vinyl
Hello Waltwalden,Thank you so much for the link in regards to Keith Jarret and ECM. What a fun read and so true. My brother is a professional jazz musician who has played all over the world with the Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller Orchestras, as wel... 
New ECM Vinyl
I'm curious about the new Kieth Jarret recordings. I like a lot of his music and playing but sometimes his humming or moaning along with his playing can become annoying at times.Is he doing that on these new recordings? 
Classification of Benz Micro cartridges
