| 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... | |
| Classification of Benz Micro cartridges Hi David12,Thanks so much for your update. I'm glad that you are pleased with the new Benz. I'm sure your fondness of it will grow even more as it continues to break in. I've been a lover of the Benz cartridges for a long time now and believe that... | |
| 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 Congratulations David12,I think that you'll love your choice. Please report back after it's broken in and let us know how you like it on your Raven. | |
| Can anyone compare The Benz Lp vs. the LpS I'm sorry I can't comment on the sound differences between the two cartridges. I would mention to keep in mind that the LPS weighes quite a lot more than the Ebony Lp. Make sure your arm can handle the extra weight. | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? I absolutely love my Artemis Labs Ph-1. It's an all tube design using 6n1p's, 12ax7's and 5687's giving about 52dB of gain without the use of any step up transformers. Loading is completely adjustable by simply plugging resistors in the back panel... | |

| Visiting with friends and Walker Audio So what was it in Mr. Walker's system that made you comment " But what we were listening to in Lloyd's system simply was operating at an entirely different realm of performance. The resolution, transparency and accuracy were simply stunning. What ... | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? I have a Mac MR67 tubed tuner that when listening to classical music or jazz via the public radio station, it simply blows away my digital front end. But as nice as it is, it doesn't come close to my analog set up. | |
| DC motors and outboard power supplies... Hi Lewm,I just got home from listening to a 17 piece jazz band playing charts from Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and the like. Great fun! I'm going to spin a few albums now and try and take some measurements as you suggested and see what happens.I ... |
