| Stylus Force Guages - why extreme accuracy? We've talked about this a number of times, and it appears that many seasoned audiophiles enjoy having highly accurate gauge in order to re-set the cartridge to a previously determined optimal tracking force. Reasons for this range from swapping ca... | |
| Wagner: The Ring Cycle. Diffinitive Lp Pressing? Rcprince, I'm kicking myself that I missed an opportunity to meet you at Lloyd Walker's house a couple of weeks ago. I was there for a little over an hour and did manage to meet Arnie B. Sorry I didn't know you were there so I could introduce myse... | |
| Wagner: The Ring Cycle. Diffinitive Lp Pressing? I am a fan of the Solti cycle on London/Decca. For my tastes, it continues to rise above others for both performance and recording quality. Of the various pressings I have, I find the late English London pressings to be very good. The Dutch pressi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hi Foster, yes I *have* replaced the Magic Diamond with another Magic Diamond cartridge. The Magic Diamond does so many things so well I continue to be very impressed with it; from top to bottom it is has a consistency of sound quality that I've n... | |
| kharma 3.2 & sub... I've been listening at Lloyd Walker's place to his Kharma 3.2s for quite some time. Lloyd recently put in the Silent Source Signature speaker cables and the resulting added depth and impact in the bass was surprising and impressive. Much greater i... | |

| Budget Preamps for Atmaspheres? Marco, here are some preamps (used) I'd consider for your application at or below your price limit. None of them will be embarrassed by the pairing with an Atma-Sphere amp. They're all tube units, they're all single-ended (RCA), and none of them d... | |
| Low level listening Duke makes an excellent point that all of us should pay attention to:Personally I place a high priority on low-level articulation even if the speaker is going to be played at high volume levels, because there will still be lots of low-level detail... | |
| Low level listening FWIW, I agree with Bartokfan that there is no contradition between successful low level and low sensitivity speakers. Being able to listen at low volume levels has always been a priority for me since I listen late at night after the rest of the fa... | |
| Compare Analogue Productions and Classic records Regarding the ET-2, I owned this tonearm for many years and one thing I learned was that it was a mistake for me not to lock down the VTA adjustment bearing. I got addicted to the ease of doing VTA adjustment on the fly while the record was playin... |
