Pre-amping a Trends Audio TA 10.1?
In fact, would a Creek OBH-10 or 12 match well with the TA 10.1? Or maybe the JoLida passive pre-amp? Anything in the specs of either the Trends or the pre amps to indicate yes or no?Grazie... 
Systemdek IIX and a vpi scout
Hey Jaybo,So you feel the Profile arm is equal to a RB250? I was thinking of going the Rega arm route. The Profile on my 'dek is a 'J' arm having a slight curve toward the headshell. Do you know much about this arm and how do you feel it's equal t... 
cartridge upgrade for project 2 experience
Have you considered one of the Denon carts? Either the dl-110 (which is what I use) or the dl-160 are well reviewed here on A'gon. They're both relatively high output MC carts so they should be run thru an MM stage. The dl-103 low output MC is als... 
Learned about DACs, need help to take next steps
Bradley,My goodness! I just discovered this very ernest and straightforward post and am disappointed to find that only one person has responded in the year (almost) since you first sought advice here on A'gon. I'm curious as to what you have done ... 
Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)
Ahh, man. My first receiver, a Yamaha CR-820...that was a beauty. Brushed aluminum faceplate, large knobs, soft green lamp light dial, and the feel of wood, a darker-than-amber color; rich and warm to the touch and to the eye. This receiver and th... 
Music Hall mmf-5 vs. Rega P3
Dan,Guiness only has 125 calories! As if I needed another reason to drink it. Good points on the two 'tables. mmf-7 does appear to be a dandy 'table.cheers,-jer 
Music Hall mmf-5 vs. Rega P3
...so, as I was sayin'. The P3 or the mmf-5: any more HELPFUL thoughts about these two tt's? I am seriously thinking about keeping my mmf-5 as well (if I can justify the extra equipment and $$ tied up), its sound is just that enjoyable to me ears ... 
Music Hall mmf-5 vs. Rega P3
I'm enjoying a cocktail right now, listening to my mmf-5 and digging it all. It occurs to me that that is the thing. I have no desire nor do I have the patience to suffer the self-posturing verbal masturbation that passes for discussion from some ... 
Music Hall mmf-5 vs. Rega P3
Yeah, I have a mmf-5 and I enjoy it very much. I just purchased a green P3 with a dynavector 10x5 cartridge 'cause the deal was too good and 'cause I fancied the green ones the first time I saw 'em. I believe this to be a long-time tt for me. Yet,... 
Starter Turntable
Howdy, I'm coming in a bit late to this thread but I can't help singing the virtues of vinyl. F155mph, if you like, really like music I can't recommend vinyl enough. After many years of reveling in the joys of spinning LP's, I "joined the 90's" an... 
Spendor SP 1/5 Monitors
This was sent to me by a representative, Linda Kennedy, of Spendor in England. It explains the history of the SP 1/5. Ms. Kennedy writes:"Thank you for your enquiry. The 15/2 superseded the 15/1 (which was the same as the SA1). The differences inc... 
Spendor SP 1/5 Monitors
Hi Tlh28,I listened to them all day yesterday, changing out my Epos M12's for the testing run. They sounded strong with the modest 50watt power amp I had 'em hooked up to. I was initially a bit concerned regarding what I have heard about the lower... 
Spendor SP 1/5 Monitors
Thanks guys, I'll contact Nick at Truesound and report back here with any info I get from him or the Spendor peeps. Cool and lively sounding small speakers. My first Spendors, joy! 
Spendor SP 1/5 Monitors
Howdy, Artmaltman. Well, I am looking at a pair of black monitors right now which have a one inch, or so, Spendor name tag in the upper right corner of the black cloth speaker cover. At the rear, there are two pair of binding posts, gold, which ha... 
Power Amp for Roksan Caspian system
Grazie, Timrhu & Caterham...I neglected to mention I had been looking for a Caspian power amp for about a couple of months now, with absolutely no luck. This lack o' luck led me to think about different amps and the possibilities. I think you ...
