| Seeking opinions on Clearaudio vs. SOTA tables Mulveling, If you are thinking about an arm in the Graham range, you might want to give a Moerch arm a try. Just upgraded to a DP-8 from a DP-6 and have loved both. Mehran at Sorasound sells both so he can run down a comparison for you. Love the M... | |
| Latest Pink Moon Reissue Looks like the box set can be found for $50-60 right now. | |
| Restocking Fees, 30-Day Free Trials True. It isn't a free trial. But are these being advertised as "free home trials" or just as having "a 30 day return period" etc.? But also not a biggie how they decide to phrase it, unless the buyer is not clear that there is a restocking fee. | |
| AC power delivery and Power conditioners. You might want to call The Cable Company (who has a lending library) or another retailer that has both 1) a lot of power conditioning experience and 2) a good return policy. They can guide you to what they think will be best in your particular sys... | |
| Restocking Fees, 30-Day Free Trials I can't agree with Br3098 that this is what is driving audio dealers out of business. The marketplace has certainly changed with the advent of the internet, and dealers are going to have to adjust to that. Many audiophiles are also stuck in a town... | |
| Review: Dynavector KARAT 23 R Cartridge To dig up an old thread. Does anyone have axperience with SoundSmith rebuilds on these? I just got one in a trade which doesn't have a cantilever. | |
| Build a TT based set up for $5K Well, Zenblaster I suppose those speakers would sound pretty great with the right electronics. If the speakers are efficient enough for them, I'd look to perhaps a Peachtree Decco or a Rega Brio-R or a Dayens integrated. Cables from Blue Jeans Cab... | |
| Helius tonearm users, what have you upgraded to? I have not heard a Helius tonearm (although I hear that they are great with my turntable, a Townshend Rock), but I just upgraded my tonearm from a Moerch DP-6 to their DP-8. And wow. What a great improvement. That DP-8 is a killer arm. Well worth ... | |
| Build a TT based set up for $5K You will also need to realize that there are a number of different approaches to building a system. In general (and while some low priced speakers like Tekton have their followers), I would recommend spending big on your speakers. They will make t... | |
| Decent power strip Wireworld Matrix would be one to look at. | |
| Well Tempered LTD Tonearm on a Simplex? Are there really advantages to this LTD arm compared to the integrated arm in the Simplex? | |
| AXPONA anyone? Ohlala, Not sure where to start about unique Chicago restaurants. Got any parameters for me? So many unique great restaurants here. Geographically you interested in something near AXPONA, or downtown or in another part of the city? | |
| Great guys to deal with in the audio industry I agree on Ralph from Atma-Sphere and Mark O'Brien from Rogue. As for an importer, I would also add Mehran at SoraSound. Fabulous to deal with. | |
| The Trouble with Cartridge Recommendations I am a big ZYX fan, and listen to a similar range of music. OutKast, Nick Drake, and The Dirty Three all sound great with the ZYX 4D I am using. I would also second all of the recommendations to call Mehran at Sorasound and see what he has availab... | |
| $13K used Budget for new system You have a lot of choices at that price point. If I were you, I'd audition all you can if possible. Wilsons seem to be polarizing. Some people love them, others feel underwhelmed by them. As for DACs, in that vicinity, I'd look at the PS Audio Per... |
