Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the DinnerGreat Live performance of Tom Waits, pretty good recording as well...makes you think you are there sitting across from Tom and his piano 
Jolida 502b, Manley Stingray & VTL- I85 compare ?
Saki70, good to hear that we didn't lead your thread astray too much.By the way: I have seen the older(?) version of the Audio Aero HyBrid here on audiogon for as little as $750. For some reason they seem to be selling fairly slow. Although that s... 
Linn Ikemi still viable at 4k
I only lived with a Linn Genki for about 10 months. It had a lot of details, with great extended highs and solid extended bass. However, I found it a little grey sounding and happily stepped down to my old Rega Planet, which I find much more music...

Saki70, I hope we are not abusing your thread here by discussing the Aero Prima vs Jolida. Howard (Boa2), thanks for your great description of the Prima (I always liked your detailed and great descriptions/reviews in discussions here on audiogon, ... 
Jolida 502b, Manley Stingray & VTL- I85 compare ?
Thanks, Jdrox for the correction. The Jolida 302B can be upgraded to a 502 in the same way, so that it can use only KT88 tubes. I am not sure though about Verastarr's conversion, I thought that one works for both EL34 and KT88 by choosig some inte... 
I've finally lost it
Rationality would have told me that I should have never started with vinyl ten years ago either, and rationality is something physicists are usually good at (I guess this almost answers the question about the topic of my dissertation as well). How... 
I've finally lost it
I agree, starting small is not always a good thing. What about a Teres, start with a 245 and you can always upgrade. No problem with factory warranty either as long as Chris stays in business. I am thinking about awarding myself a graduation gift ... 
I've finally lost it
Why not start with the Bluenote Piccolo at $1000.- (from Needledoctor) and the Kontrapunkt A (around $400 from Needledoctor). Might be better to start small. I heard the table just shortly, but my impression was certainly positive. And then you ca... 
Has anybody tried a Shelter 501/Linn Ekos comb.
Pablo, looking back at my DL103 that is sitting in my RB600 Rega arm, the Denon is slightly longer than the Kontrapunkt A I have. However it is sitting much more to the front of the headshell so that effectively it does not extend further into the... 
Apple Lossless Wirelessly
One alternative option to Apple remote desktop is timpukto pro:http://www.netopia.com/software/products/tb2/I think they do have a 30 trial. We tried to use in in a Univeristy/Research invironment, where it was to slow for our purposes. For you it... 
Problems mounting a Denon 103R in a Linn Ekos
What does too big mean? The DL103 is a pretty regular sized cartridge in width and length. And it should fit any regular headshell. I don't remember the headshell of my old Akito arm being small. The Denon fits into the Rega tonearm pretty well wh...

I have a stock Jolida 302b from Underwood hifi that has no problems driving my Mission 751s (89dB, 6Ohm) to loud levels. My first tube integrated as well. The 302b actaully feels like it has more power than my Linn LK85 (85W) power amp. The 302b i...

Billy Joel - Innocent Man:Just picked this one up for $1.50 in perfect shape a few weeks ago. Never realized how good some of the Billy Joel albums are. This one is quickly becoming one of my favorite Billy Joel albums. 
Best $500-$700 amp/preamp or integrated
I would recommend to take a look at the Jolida 302B all tube amp (I know you wanted solid state, just could not resist). My first tube integrated and I am very impressed. Extremly quiet, not quite a solid state bass but more dynamic and better tim...
