| Wanting to get into Vinyl - Need help Congrats on wanting to take the vinyl plunge! The Rega RP1 is a safe bet as far as the TT is concerned, and as for affordable phono stages, I really like the Cambridge Audio 640P (I reviewed it in Vinylphile one or two issues ago). As a bonus, the... | |
| which turntable to buy for $1500 best value ? The Clearaudio Concept is a great TT that should just fit your budget, especially if you can stretch a bit further for the version that includes an MC cartridge. I think that package is $2,000 new. | |
| AMR PH-77, ARC Reference 2, Allnic H-3000, Octave I've not had extensive experience with the other options you listed, but I did have an Allnic H-3000 here for about 9 months. I really liked it, and hope one day to compare it to the ARC Reference Phono 2SE. | |
| Lyra Olympos SL: Discontinued? Hi Pentatonia,What I mean is, don't hold your breath waiting for me to put my Parnassus up for sale; you'll probably suffocate! I currently have no plans to sell my Parnassus, because I want to keep the option of owning an Olympos SL one day. Sorr... | |
| Cartridge interface with ARC PH3SE My Lyra Parnassus has (or rather, had) a very low output and I can use it with my SP9 which offers similar gain (although a little more is appreciated), so I think you'll be OK.That said, I think your PH3SE could probably use an upgrade, given the... | |
| SME 20/2 Finger Lift Hum Like Peterayer, I didn't install the finger lift on my SME V when I had one years ago, for the same aesthetic and sonic reasons.I never use finger lifts anyway: that what the tone arm's cueing lever is for! | |
| Lyra Olympos SL: Discontinued? Hi Pentatonia,OK, but don't hold your breath! :-) | |
| Lyra Olympos SL: Discontinued? Hi Jonathan,Partially as a result of your comments, I have decided to take the plunge and order an Atlas! Many thanks for your input. And yes, I will be keeping my Parnassus safe in its box, just in case an Olympos SL becomes a financial possibili... | |
| Simaudio Moon 310LP I blush! I'm glad my review helped you make a decision, and many thanks for reading Vinylphile!I'm currently testing the 310LP's little brother, the 110LP, and I also have a Clearaudio Concept MC in for review too! I'm hoping to get my hands on Si... | |
| Simaudio Moon 310LP I had the 310LP in for review last year, and thought it was very good. The sound quality did noticeably improve during the break-in period, and the 320PS optional power supply also improved things. (A lot of the break-in can happen by just leaving... | |
| Lyra Olympos SL: Discontinued? Thanks for your insightful answer, Jonathan!Just to be clear, would I be correct in thinking that given that I have sufficient funds for either an Atlas OR an Olympos SL (but not both at this time), the Atlas would be the better option, even thoug... | |
| 2011 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet I'll be at the show all weekend, and am looking forward to meeting you guys! Like others, I'll be leaving my precious vinyl at home, but expect to be leaving with a couple of black pizzas!I might even take a few photos for the mag (Vinylphile)... :-) |
