| Looking for help on upgrading my entire vinyl rig. So I ended up with a SOTA Moonbeam after all. It deals with this shakey old house surprisingly well. So well in fact, that I can pound my heel on this ancient wood flooring infront of the rack and it won't skip.The combination of this basic Rega d... | |
| $$$ vs music enjoyment To the original post I would say follow the dollar on the big picture side of things. Where is the money being spent?I think of Apple and it ties to content.Music and content first, systems later. I remember my mom propping up her suit case record... | |
| Bah Hum Bug Is it the same with other cartridges too? | |
| Looking for help on upgrading my entire vinyl rig. Yeah, the Sapphire looks amazing but WAY outside my price range. But if they are offering upgrades over time, it looks more doable. ( Hence my looking at a Moonbeam). However, they sell B-Stock with healthy discounts, my good friend is also a deal... | |
| Looking for help on upgrading my entire vinyl rig. Thank You.Rega seems to have hit a "sweet spot" in entry level-new, due to nice arms (RP3/RB303 $895). The rest of the package isn't much to look at. Groovetracer platters & subplatters look like worthy add-ons, But now (if new) it's a $1300 T... | |
| Looking for help on upgrading my entire vinyl rig. That is exactly what I'm thinking about tonight Daverz, before I change the rest out. I'm excited really. Monday I should have the preamp in hand. I was really surprised and impressed by Mr. Sutherland's responsive and kind communication regarding... | |
| Looking for help on upgrading my entire vinyl rig. Well, I was looking around $1500 for everything TT/cart/pre but it doesn't look like it is going that way. Lol.Once I decide what I want for a table, I may then consider used. I do however feel inclined to buy new. Had many years of flipping used ... | |
| Looking for help on upgrading my entire vinyl rig. Thank you for the response!You know, sometimes it feels good to just make a decision on something...So I'm grabbing a Sutherland PH3D.I'm surprised that I went for a preamp first, even without demonstration. But really it is such a high value piec... | |
| Best cartridge options for around $200. What about the Shure m97xe/JICO SAS combo? That's about $240 total invested. I have an AT440mla and the stock Shure right now and they seem to do what most people describe. I'm hoping that the SAS will bring out more detail and track like the AT. ... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? What slowed me down was music itself. While streaming Pandora may be in an opposite direction as far as sound quality is concerned, getting exposure to unfamiliar content is a step in the right direction,for me.Flipping the same recordings over an... | |
| What is exact Snell E/II exact stock woofer? My EII's woofers are Vifa M21WN-7 4ohm. From the looks of the rot and discoloration of the sticker, I'm going to say they are original. However I cannot be 100% certain as I am not the original owner. Also, keep in mind that Snell made changes whi... | |
| Amp transformer buzz/hum from DC on AC line? One thing I can say is that the humbuster works well on toroidial type transformers, but not really on EI types. There may be some exceptions, but that's the effect I have noticed on a variety of amplifiers and other gear. | |
| Analog is the new pink When I was a kid back in the 70's, my father had a TT based system and so did my older brother.I had a few crappy things to play some records on, radio etc. I mostly listened to radio, as media was pretty much unobtainable with no income. I could ... | |
| Old tapes reveal how BAD FM became Our local radio station, WUNH Durham,NH, often plays really good quality recordings. Often eclectic. They also have "vinyl week". No sure how often, but all the DJ's that week will play just vinyl recordings during those sessions.Worst ever is XM.... | |
| Pressing Issues Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm hearing it on Chick Corea/Return to Forever LP, ECM1022. It's from 1972, looks original but I could be wrong? I noticed the sax prior to it playing, between quiet passages, during "Crystal Silence". |
