| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Phaser,the attractiveness (and limitations) of SET are certainly scientifically verifiable. There need never be conflict between the "two" pursuits. | |
| Looking for a Phono Pre less than $1500 Heed for $1k and a used Hagerman Trumpet should should be on your list. | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Thanks Larryi. All too rare to hear such straight forward comparisons. Makes sense given my experience as well. Nice system BTW. I love the Viva stuff. | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Larryi,what were your impressions of the Phantom/Vector/Titan/Orpheus and in what system? | |
| High output MC cartridges? sorry for the confused writing. I've got a bad head cold. I'll go to bed. | |
| High output MC cartridges? Personally I wouldn't sweat the choice between MM and MC. Just pick something in your budget that suits you and your equipment. The Acoustic Sounds catalogue has a nice table for comparison of specs. Try to get clear about what your parameters are... | |

| Why does my vinyl sound so bright? A wall shelf into studs is better than vibrations being trasferred directly through the floor. | |
| Why does my vinyl sound so bright? ditto the first two posts in combo. | |
| Stand out phono stages Gerrym5 ,how would you compare your choices, especially the Io and the Wavestream? I've heard both but not side by side. | |
| Denon DL 103 vs DL 103R Pryso,I think Grimace made it clear that he was having difficulty getting the VTF light enough which is why he had the counter weight so far back. The extra counterweight ring would certainly help in his stated predicament. It appears that he has,... |
