| Was your first cartridge relatively expensive? Howie, be cautious about what you read: from me or anyone else. We're all victims of what we've had the opportunity to hear (or not hear) and under what conditions. In my case, I've heard the Scoutmaster extensively and in a system that is very we... | |
| Goin nuts deciding which Scout upgrade Hey, guys, great advice to Raytheprinter here. Ray I think whether you do the tonearm upgrade, or the Scout-Scoutmaster upgrade, or the addition of a motor controller, you'll not regret any of these. I've just one thought to enter into the convers... | |
| Was your first cartridge relatively expensive? Well said, Dan_ed! I like your summary.. | |
| Was your first cartridge relatively expensive? My experience with cartridges is very different. I find that I typically use a cartridge for 4 or more years before replacing, and that's listening almost every day. So, that's 3,500 - 4,500 hours for me. I've been doing this for 30 years, and my ... | |
| Was your first cartridge relatively expensive? Howie, from what you've described elsewhere about your objectives, I'd encourage you to consider a first cartridge in the $500-$900 price range. Below that, I don't think you'll get a good sense of what your vinyl playback can sound like in your s... | |

| Large Classical Record Dealers I would not say that across the board. I have a few digital LPs in my collection that I think sound very good indeed. There are simply too many variables to make an absolute statement. Overall, though, when given a choice I tend to stay all-analog. . | |

| I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy? Hi Dodgealum, good additional advice on securely mounting the shelf, but are you confusing masonry with dry wall? It's hard for me to imaging a solid block/brick and mortar wall ("masonry") vibrating or not being strong enough to support a shelf. ... | |
| $3-6K Source Upgrade: Digital vs Vinyl Again Howie, if you decide to take the vinyl plunge, you certainly can achieve excellent vinyl playback for the budget you've mentioned. I live with a Walker Audio Proscenium turntable and Aesthetix Io Signature phono stage and I love the result. But I ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Smw30yahoocom (Sandra), glad to see you continuing your posts! Thanks for sharing. It's really good to hear from a fellow traveler along this path. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Foster, if you're ever in the Philadelphia area, I'd enjoy having you over here to share some music and share with you how things are sounding here. I, too, am not a big tweaker in the sense that I'm not inclined to experiment with a lot of differ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tom,THANKS!! Your information was huge help. Looks like I'll start watching for a UK edition at a price I'm willing to pay.Regards, | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Has anyone listened to the Queen: "Night at the Opera" reissue from EMI? Half-speed mastered, 180 gram. Does anyone know who mastered this or where it was pressed? The master tape is only mediocre, so I'm not prepared to pay the premium price for ... |
