| Any experience with the new Linn Sondek upgrades? Rgurney, There is not a Linn dealer on the planet who will throw in a Cirkus, if you check with Kinsekd I think you will find he threw in for the Cirkus. To me the Cirkus should be at the top of the upgrade list for every Sondek Lp12 owner. It is ... | |
| Any experience with the new Linn Sondek upgrades? Kinsekd, with all due respect, Evidently I did not receive the same context for this discussion as you. As to the point, neither do I find my brief take on the individual parts to be a microanalysis by a long shot, but Ok! :^) If you felt my obser... | |
| Any experience with the new Linn Sondek upgrades? I would agree with Newmanoc as I am essentially in the same shoes. Kinsekd if you did all these upgrades at the same time how can you have a quantitative understanding of improvement? I understand the convenience yet that is a lot of scratch. Had ... | |
| are any of your friends audiophiles? I was just poking fun in my first comment. Truth be told we have SMAC Southwest Michigan Audiophile Club which consist of a core group of about fifteen or so members and a mailing list of about another fifty in its third year now. It is a good gro... | |

| Luciano Pavarotti dead at 71 Luciano personally was bigger than life, I can attest to this first hand and his voice was bigger than he was. I remember an occasion in Detroit back almost two decades ago when a girl friend and I were sitting down to a intimate diner at Vinelli... | |

Hope it sees some interest.I sure do... have a pair of Atma-Sphere MA-1 Silver Editions myself and vinyl is also... | |
| Acoustic Sounds Customer Service Pick your battles and those who you care to spend your hard earned dollars with. It just seems a little extreme to elevate such a petty grievance to this degree. Just like the mom and pop record stores being blamed for the perceived quality proble... | |
| Acoustic Sounds Customer Service Chad and the rest of the fine folks from Acoustic Sounds have always been an outstanding (favorite) dealer for me and my circle of friends and family. Warped poly-lined paper sleeves?! Please, work it out. I recently purchased two thousand and the... | |
| Are the online zines killing print mags in audio? I read Hifi+, Stereophile, 6Moons, and Absolute sound and find that they all have their place. No single one will do in my estimation. I'll tell you though, I truly miss Art Dudley's "Listener". That little home spun mag was the most fun reading a... | |

| new Aja 180 gram vinyl pressing just arrived MF has spoken...Ohhhhhh! Ahhhh!May I paraphrase: By the way, if someone says the reissue doesnt sound any good, be sure to ask about that persons playback system.Thats the best argument Ive heard yet. Lets see, if you disagree in any way, shap... | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions Another vote for dedicated lines, first. That has been my experience as well. As said so well (above) dedicated lines are a basic correction to so many anomalies. Then try whatever else interests you in the way of power cords and conditioners.Happ... |
