How much LF info on LPs?
I wonder if you are refering to the RIAA curve? It was learned a long time ago that low frequency signals require a lot more space on LPs than do higher frequencies. For that reason the curve was introduced. Any reasonable phono stage is going to ... 
Desperately seeking the elusive tube sound
Wait till your SS stuff starts to break down, then you will have that illusive tube sound! In my experience the illusive tube sound is hardest to obtain when using tubes. Don't thank me, I know you appreciate the help. 
I need some clarity
After buying a turntable, it might be worth it to check out speaker placement and room tunes. Moving speakers a little bit can make a lot of difference. 'Rives' has a website which can help with placement of speakers and the listening chair. See i... 
Resonant modes and taming the room
Rives, I just went to the website, and found it to be most helpful. I wish I could have programed in the location of my stand and record racks. I moved the speakers around and the listening chair on the program. The funny thing was, I was somewhat... 
Resonant modes and taming the room
Zaikesman, I had some congestion between 77 Hz and 83 Hz, but not again till I got out to about 178 Hz. I wish I could show you the graph so you could make some suggestions or corrections if I'm wrong. It was the first time I ever tried this.Newbe... 
Aragon 8008BB amp
I'm not sure what you want to know, you question is too vague. That Aragon amp is a very good amp. To some people the ability to run balanced is a big issue hence the BB. It is a fairly powerful amp and can drive virtually any speaker load.A bette...

what really happened to j. skul
Without mentioning any names I heard the gentleman was some what of a problem for Stereophile. He did not get along with manufacturers and did not like to return equipment loaned for review. I can't imagine why this would be an issue!The 'budget c... 
Do you rember your first?
I don't remember any of the componants, but I do remember the music sounding a heck of a lot better than my little radio.The first thing I bought was a Readers Digest all in one turntable, reciever, cassette. I was hooked. It didn't sound as good ... 
Wisconsin - Anyone interested?
The following Saturday would be better for me. I will be out east the week you suggested. I'm looking forward to being able to attend a meeting one of these weeks! 
Wisconsin - Anyone interested?
All of these are great ideas. I wonder if any of the other states have this much information available.Any word on the meeting last Saturday in Madison??? Keep us posted 
Wisconsin - Anyone interested?
Nice work Nanderson. If we can ever get this off the ground your map will be most helpful. I will contact others locally and have them send their onfo along to you. 
How many weeks of income did your sys. cost?
Mine cost about 15% of Albert Porters, but sounds much better... NOT! 
Upgrade Sota Saphire vs. Buy New Turntable
I did what Frank suggested last year. It was a great improvement! Donna is fabulous to deal with, and they give good trade-in on upgrades or refurbishing. Tell Donna I said Hi. 
I'm confused. Need direction on analogue system
