| Buying from Canada a hassle for you too? I've had several successful experiences purchasing from Canadian members - both here and on eBay. Postal charges are higher for LP shipments (or so it seems to me), and the Canadian postal system is a bit slow - at least to Texas - but these are s... | |
| Chamber Music - your best pick. Have you tried Bartok yet? His six quartets are superb. There are many fine readings available - Julliard, Tokyo and Emerson - but my favorite is the Tatrai Quartet. I've got it on vinyl (Hungaraton) - don't know if it was issued on CD. | |
| Please suggest serene, restful jazz recordings Kind of Blue - Miles Davis. Superb. | |
| vinyl storage????? Go to: rackittm.comA bit pricey, but excellent quality and expandability. | |
| Cartridge for Graham 1.5 I've got a Graham 2.1 with a Helikon mono cartridge (on a Sota Sapphire tt). Great synergy - - wouidn't expect any less from a 2.1/stereo Helikon match. | |
| RCM Fluid Applicator: Loricraft Mrmb - This started out as your thread, and I didn't mean to "highjack" it. Thanks to you, Docsavage and Jtimothya for advice and counsel on thread management - - - much appreciated! | |
| RCM Fluid Applicator: Loricraft I second the thanks to Dougdeacon! I got my Loricraft about a month ago and found that when applying fluid to the spinning LP in the manner suggested by Loricraft, a few (or more) drops sometimes splashed off the LP onto the machine. So - - - I'll... | |
| Zu tone or Druid or which Omega ? My 2nd system listening room dimensions are about the same as yours, as are my listening tastes - - although I do listen to a fair bit of classical (chamber) music as well. I've owned a pair of Omega Hemptones for well over a year now and *love* t... | |
| Stylus For Gauge - Do I really need one? If you want an inexpensive stylus force gauge, get the Shure model - - probably about $20-25 bucks. It's pretty darn accurate - - although not as precise as the fancy digital models. | |
| Re Miles Davis vinyl I second Albertporter's endorsement of Miles on Mosaic. I own them all, and they are superb. | |

| Phono amp recommendations Second (or third) the Eastern Electric recommendations - very musical, and a thing of beauty to behold. Rated Stereophile Class B. U.S. distributor is wonderful to work with. I've had one in my secondary system since January - - - very pleased. | |
| Ortofon Jubilee and Graham 2.1 ? The fellow who wrote this review:http://www.10audio.com/ortofon_jubilee_kontA-B.htmmated the Jubilee to a Graham Phantom with excellent results. I've been using a Jubilee with a Naim Aro/ Linn LP-12 for almost four years now - - great cartridge!. | |
| integrated tube amp recommendations, with remote Second Gmood1's recommendation on the Eastern Electric M520. I got one for my secondary system in January and love it. Built like a tank and nice to look at. (Sounds great, too! Got it hooked up to a pair of Omega Hemptones.) The remote itself is ... | |
| Tivoli Radio??? I have two Bose Wave Radios - bought the first one in '95 and the second in '97 (for office use). Thought they were pretty neat - - - until I got the Tivoli Model Two about 2 years ago - - sound quality of the Tivoli clearly superior to the Bose: ... |
