| Clearaudio Symphony Ive not had the symphony but Ive had quite a few of CA's other models and they have all taken 100+- hours to really break in. It should be very dynamic when fully broken in. | |
| Best Live Recording on LP "Will the circle be unbroken" by the nitty gritty dirt band not only has great pickin but also some of the best guitar sound ive ever heard. | |
| best value - record cleaning machine I like the car wash idea. Put the records in dish racks in the back of a pickup and run em through the wash.Just dont use the wax. | |
| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? You may not need a step up with the cambridge but you will have to mess with the loading most likely. Ive had my 103 for many years and have found it really needs the right tonearm and step up and loading to work properly. After spending the time ... | |
| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? I have had both the 103 and the virtuoso at the same time. They are very different cartridges. I always preferred the virtuoso but that is a matter of taste. It will take you a while to get used to the 103 sound if you were fond of your virtuoso. ... | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Im curious about the SME resonance. What is the frequency of this resonance? How was it measured? who measured it? Is this actually documented in some tests? Ive heard this before but never accompanied by any data. I figured it was more internet l... | |
| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? I owned a couple of Linns about 15 yrs apart and have had a host of others AR, Thorens, VPI, Oracle, Technics, etc (current is cosmos IV) The one I miss the least is the Linn I never thought it was anything more than a basically competent design t... | |
| Help with problematic MC Step-Up I built an sut using the 4722 for my 103d and had the same problem. I ended up grounding everything to the case (hammond die cast) and then tt/arm to sut to preamp and had to move it around but it finally got quiet and boy what a sound! | |
| SOTA cosmos turntables Rocky, you will still need to use your reflex clamp. The vacuum improvement will be more noticable on some records than others, on a flat 180gm disc there will be very little difference btwn the vac on or off but on some records the difference is ... | |
| SOTA cosmos turntables Rocky, I think youd be very happy with a star. The caveat being that if you buy one used it may need a trip back to Sota for a bearing repair and platter work if it has the older lip and some of the old ones have noisy pumps. Kirk can make it like... | |
| SOTA cosmos turntables You have a great tt/arm combo. upgrade your cartridge and later you can raid your 401k and buy a cosmos with a triplanar or sme V or graham and a ridiculously expensive cartridge and then upgrade the rest of your system and build a purpose designe... | |
| SOTA cosmos turntables Ive owned most of the Sota line and currently have a cosmos iv. I have directly compared it to many of the best out there with the same arm and cartridge and am convinced you'd have to go way up the food chain to best it. Look at the features, a j... | |
| What makes for a GOOD turntable. What Ajahu said. I have the same experience with a couple old technics, they sound great and lift the arm after play and best of all are extremely reliable and easy to set up. Esoteric gear has its own allure but doesnt necessarily sound better th... | |
| Chime in.What's the Best Cassette Recorder ever ? Pioneer ctf 1250. I owned many including the dragon but always prefered the sound of the pioneer. | |
