| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital 41 responses so far, but very little mention of the software.My personal preference is firmly in the vinyl camp but I would not recommend anyone getting into vinyl today unless they truly felt committed to the sonic benefits of analog playback. It... | |
| Optimum TT Height Dcstep and I have similar set ups. I'm an inch taller and my table is 2" higher.Concerning ergonomic design, the ease of viewing the record/arm/cartridge without bending over is at least as important to me as record handling. Perhaps that is a fun... | |
| Optimum TT Height I'm 6' 1" and my platter is 51" above the floor. I find this very convenient for cueing, stylus examination, record sweeping, etc. Also, even though it (thankfully) is not done on a regular basis, when I do a cartridge install/alignment it is bene... | |
| Thanks to Raul. If you expect to learn, you need an open mind. So why are some folks so critical of suggestions to try vintage cartridges, moving magnet (or iron) designs, tonearms with removable headshells, headshells of varying mass or resonance, etc.?Raul brin... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV 10 Rush1, are your speakers SC-IV rather than SC-IVa? That might account for the confusion regarding the Morel woofers. I'm not as familiar with the DAL as the Duntech models but I believe Dunlavy made some major changes with the IVa which could have... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV 10 Rush 1, be very careful about "identical" Morels. The point Mothra was making was that even finding Morels of the same model number may not mean a match. A blessing and a curse of Dunlavy's designs (Duntech and DAL) was the matching of drivers and... | |

| LP for fathers day ideas please............ So why should other countries sync with the US? Did this idea come from the egocentric Bush Administration? If this truly presents a problem, why not select a new date for everyone? Back on topic, Chad it will be fun to hear what you chose and you... | |
| Worth having my SOTA Sapphire refurbished? SMEs are a classic combination with SOTA tables. For a real deal on the used market, the various Sumiko Premiers (MMT, FT-3, FT-4) or their siblings from Audioquest can offer a very high performance per dollar and are another popular choice with S... | |
| vintage turntables? Joe, could the Kuzma "Classic" you heard have been the one with the oak plinth and cover? If so, it was the Stabi table. Two arms were available, the Stogi and Stogi Reference. I was not aware that Cardas used a Kuzma but the Stabi/Stogi was revie... | |
| Need help What monoblock power amps for bass? Ralph, regarding your comments on bi-amplified systems, have you ever heard the Orion system designed by Sig Linkwitz? In its intended configuration a separate amplifier channel is used for each of the four drivers per speaker channel. This is wit... | |
| LP for fathers day ideas please............ Chad, the "A Meeting by the River" could be an excellent choice for several reasons. I've not heard the vinyl version but have owned the CD for many years and expect the LP is even better. Even on CD, the sonics are wonderful (thanks to Kavi Alexa... | |
| Worth having my SOTA Sapphire refurbished? Rebbi, comments on two subjects for you.First, your SOTA. I'll cast another vote to keep it. There are a couple of tests you can perform so that Kirk and Donna can advise you. For your bearing, remove the belt and spin the platter by hand. Put you... | |
| Need help What monoblock power amps for bass? One of the best bass amps, and a great deal on the used market, would be from the Eagle/EKSC line. A pair of their 2 series (A, B, C) stereo amps or 400 monoblocs might be outstanding. They are fast, tight, and provide great woofer control while s... |
