Is heavy vinyl worth it?
Bought my first 180 gram album (Miles Davis "My Funny Valentine"). Turns out the damn thing is warped! Nothing, it seems, has changed in vinyl in twenty years. I honestly believed that making them thicker was insurance against warpage. Well, I gue... 
OK, I said it...
Ecclectique, I am in the Montreal Area. Does the Dennesen work with any tt/arm/cart? Thanks. 
OK, I said it...
Always used a Discwasher brush with the Discwasher fluid. Always put the records back in their dust jacket and album jacket. Always tried to keep the stylus in ok shape by changing it regularly. These are the main reasons why I always assumed that... 
Turntable adjustment question
Don't know it it was mentioned, another thing is to make sure the turntable is level side to side and front to back.

Check the cartridge's azimut. 
Help with cartridge loading. . .
I don't know, but it was refreshing to read the manual (if you can call it that) that comes with the Rega P9. It seems the designer takes a simpler view of things as they pertain to playing a black disc. I guess everybody is right! My feelings are... 
Help with cartridge loading. . .
Again, the two ubiquitous schools of thought in present day audio rear their head. I would say that you should go with what the manufacturer of the cartridge suggests, which, I guess, tips my hand. From your question it certainly appears to me tha... 
goodbye to vinyl. . . . grr ------ longish rant
KT, I always had one (it's now listed for sale). I got a current Rega P9. I am waiting for the cart, which is pretty well ordered as things now stand: an Ortofon Kontrapunkt B. I went to price a better phono section today and my local dealer is cu... 
What tube preamp with Bryston 7bst? Please?
I am using an Audio Research LS 8 Mk2 into my Brystons and it sounds good to me, but what do I know? 
goodbye to vinyl. . . . grr ------ longish rant
You are now giving me cold sweat: I should get delivery of a new turntable tomorrow or the day after and am still considering which cart to get. What you complain of sounds so much like my complaints of vinyl over the years and here I am having pu... 
2+2+2 Multichannel
Eldartford, I read you on the advantage of having a centre channel. That this channel should use the same model speaker as the main l/r and same amplification makes sense to me. Have always been intrigued, however, on whether the ITU's recommendat... 
Auditioned Infinity MTS. Disappointed. Questions..
Heard the Prelude MTS with Krell and the sound was nothing like what you mention. Unfortunately, the dealer had hastily set-up the speakers in, of all things, a square room! The bass was impressive, but too much so. I think that properly set-up th... 
2+2+2 Multichannel
That's what Chesky proposed, but seems will not be delivering in SACD. I used a JVC ambiance processor for years with a six speaker set-up. Seems the most logical way to me when dealing with music. The speakers at the front, behind and outside of ...

The best CD Player for the money
The question was, long ago, what player is best for the money, so, obviously, the original poster wanted recommendations as to the player with the best price/performance ratio. It seems that it goes without saying that all a person can get from di...
