| Does your system hate you when you ignore her? After 3 weeks, I'd have daddy-long-legs weaving webs on my tubes. So I have to never let that happen. | |
| Phono cartridge suggestions sought I have the Shibata stylus version of the AT VM750 at $400. It's good. One poster suggested buying one and saving the $1000. I also have a $1500 London/Decca SuperGold and it wipes the floor with the AT. So you might consider actually spending the ... | |
| How have I missed out for soooo long!!!! Good for you. Now imagine what's possible with even better gear! | |
| Listening time and habits I moved to a 2 acre lot in the woods to get away from (damn) neighbors. Living in the city with footsteps overhead was a torment. I will say this though; a long session with everything warmed up stretching past midnight is far superior to grabbing... | |
| Tell us about your acoustic treatments I have a rug on the concrete floor and ensure no chair upholstery is behind my head. Records and wood break up reflections in the corner. Not being in a small closed room helps. | |
| Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge? The Rega 6 has a power supply. No need to move the belt. | |

| Need Device to Keep electronics off when power comes back Keep safe out there. I read that crazies from middle America were setting fires deliberately in CA because they hated liberals. | |
| Best $250 max phono Cart @mikld looks like Nagaoka increased their prices by about 25% when I wasn't looking. The Nag 110 is still solid at $140. | |
| Best $250 max phono Cart I have an AT VM750 at $400 and don't think it's all that great for rock. Look at the Nagaoka MP150 instead. | |
| Best tonearm under $2k George Merrill sells the Jelco 850S for $795. It is an excellent sounding arm with expansive 3D soundstage, cohesive frequency response, and a fine top end. And you don't have to spend $2000 to get a big improvement over the Rega. Get the Jelco 50... | |
| TUBE or SS PATHS I've heard some "sterile" tube gear, in fact, I have heard sterile-sounding tubes, and I've also heard warm solid state amps.I sense he's a cynic, borne from a sort of ignorance, and the question is rhetorical because he already knows the answer. |
