| Best vintage amps (late 70s / early 80s) under $3k? No mention yet of the Quad SS amps: the 303, the rare 50 monos and the 405. I have 'em all - and they have been restored/upgraded! Historically significant circuit designs from Peter Walker! | |
| Please remind me about VPI TT anti-skating. I have two early FR tonearms without AS. A FR 29 and a FR 54. Evidently Ikeda-san didn't think it important! | |
| Best vinyl of "Who's Next" +1 viridian! I too had the British Track pressing - but alas, lost it moving! Any US pressing will do! | |
| Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry @ ivictus005: Not a rip-off of a 1200! I'd say they sound the same - but maybe my ears aren't "golden" enough! | |
| Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry +1 downunder! Excellent TT at an affordable price! Something the Audio market needs! | |
| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? +1 violin! Excellent tuner! Same circuit as my DA-F10. A bargain on the used market! | |
| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? Mitsubishi DA-F10 (1977). MIJ by Diatone. Top notch performance as measured by Audio magazine. Am using it now to listen to WFSU 89.7 FM Tampa college radio! Commercial-free! Yeah! Great jazz programming every night from 9 PM to 5 AM (6 AM Sat and... | |
| Blocking the propaganda Checkout the latest TAS. Four full-page ads for wire: Morrow, Kharma, WireWorld, Kimber and Ansuz. Pricey ads, I bet! Propaganda, for sure! Audio jewelry for the well-heeled! Get out that Platinum card! | |
| Tekton DI Monitors @corelli: I do not walk around when listening to music, nor do I recommend doing so! Sit and listen! | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Let only blind people do listening test to cables! LOL! | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? +1 marklings and cd318! Two voices of reason amid the howling mob! | |
| Phono stage can minimize tics and pops on vinyl Right now I have his RGR Model 4 preamp in use for my phono playback. Excellent sound, no compelling urge to remove it! | |
| Phono stage can minimize tics and pops on vinyl Back in 1980 Robert Grodinski (of RGDynamics) identified phono stage overload margin as a major factor in SQ. His own designs surpassed all competitors of that time in SQ! So he was on to something! | |
| Potential issues using low powered tube amp with electrostatic speakers Tube amps are inherently rugged! Even into the low impedance (1 ohm) high frequencies of the ML's panels. Just don't use them (or any transformer-coupled) tube amp without a speaker connected! That will kill them! | |
| HiFi newbie - Thoughts on pairing vintage amp with modern speakers/TT? Thank you boxer12! |
