| So I just inherited a bunch of CD's and some are made overseas... I only paid $5 for it! Good deal! | |
| Your Favorite Cover Songs? Charles Lloyd and the Marvels cover of Hendrix's Little Wing (featuring Lucinda Williams and Bill Frissel). Heard it last night. Stunningly good! | |
| So I just inherited a bunch of CD's and some are made overseas... I have a MIJ Led Zeppelin II. Any bidders! | |
| Out goes the Old, In comes the New! Michael Green: I too am intrigued by the XLS 1502! And why not! Lots of power, light as a feather (kidding!). Amps after all are rather like toasters. They just have to put out enough volts and current to get the job done (drive speakers with low-... | |
| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? I don't care much for unipivots. Had a JH Formula 4. Sold it. Bought a new-in-box Mayware Formula 4 from an EBay seller (couldn't resist!). Awaiting installation on my Sondek or pre-Linn Ariston. | |
| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? That Merrell GEM TT and arm looks like a nice product for the price! I'd probably buy one if I didn't already have way too many TT's! | |
| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? The other Koshin (ne Jelco) arm I contemplated buying back in '78 was the GST-801. That was about $500 then! So instead bought its cheaper brother. And was happy with it! | |
| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? I have an HW-19 awaiting assembly and installation. The Jelco (ne Koshin) arms look pretty good for the price! And they are gimbel pivots - unlike the (floppy) unipivots of the VPI arms! More precise tracking. | |
| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? I have owned the older Koshin (Jelco) GST-1 (comparable to the 750). Bought new from American Audiophile (Madison Ave. NYC). Cost $219 (1978). Used it for years on an Ariston RDIIS (Linn's Scottish cousin). Cartridges included: GAS Sleeping Beauty... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? My vintage Speaker Lab 7's are a 4 driver speaker. Woofer, upper-bass woofer, wide mid-horn, horn tweeter. Horns are plastic and well-damped! Bought them cheap ($100) from Habitat - needed some large floorstanders for interim use. Boy, was I surpr... | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? +1 tooblue! I like the surprise of finding something in my collection that I had forgotten about! Sort of like going shopping to stores for music in the old days! LOL! | |
| Improving sound of Marantz SA-8260 SACD PLAYER @hifiman5: No, I don't "invest" in audio gear! II just decry the belief that too many have that 4 figure (and up!) price tags are a justification for spending more for a miniscule improvement! | |
| What should I replace my old NAD C272 Amp with? Very nice system shoumyo! Good choices! | |
| What should I replace my old NAD C272 Amp with? Crown Core Drive 2 XLS 1502. Over 300 wpc and 8.6/lbs! Available from Sam Ash for $399 (list $699) + free shipping! This is the future! SQ that embarrasses mult-kilobuck audiophile amps! | |
| Which wood Grado Thank you chakster for your advice on mats! I am going to try my MIJ magnesium mat on my PLX1000 in place of rubber! |
