Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Because, Raul, the very second you mention these deals, somebody buys them. *laughs* :-) Perhaps I'll look around some more and be a little more patient. I'm looking for a really good MM that is obtainable...something close in performance to my DV...

Raul, what do you think of the AT 150 MLX? It appears it's current production. Thanks. 
Blue Note 45rpm reissue
Phaser, the word over at the Hoffman board was that Acoustic Sounds was going to send out replacements for this incredibly botched initial round of AP 45 Blue Notes. No need to ship the lp back to them. If you emailed and don't want to wait for th... 
Blue Note 45rpm reissue
Thanks! ...I'll have another look. Whenever I do look, I only see them for $40 and up. That is why the MM Blue Notes are appealing to me. 
Blue Note 45rpm reissue
JLoveys, where can I get King reissues for less than $50? If you think the Hoffman issues are bright, you should try the Classics or EMI reissues (digital). I find it suprising that one would conclude the originals are warmer. Frankly, I rarely ha...

Cdc...have you heard the Red Wine? What were your impressions? I'm more interested in live comparisons rather than theoretical.

No, it was the original 30.Never surprised when different amps of different price ranges are found with comparable sound.

...okay, I won't push any further. :-) let us know what you think in a couple weeks. so far, I'm getting that Shindo is better and it should be, given the price. but do let us know your initial thoughts on the Sig to Stingray comparison.a British ...

So, is Shindo Aurieges/Montille better? What about the Lavardin? Do you think it is a good buy? Personally, I'm very curious (and it would be fabulous if the amp sounds great) but I need to get over pyschological aspects of buying a tiny chip and ... 
Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
Yes, Chris. From my end, there is certainly interest in a drop in replacement for the Lenco motor. Should be a huge improvement. 
How do YOU set VTF on your Rega arm??
ah...I see you all have figured this out. 
How do YOU set VTF on your Rega arm??
