Step up above Acoustic Signature Mambo
Hey...keep me posted on the Raul per amp. This could be a sleeper story in the making! 
Step up above Acoustic Signature Mambo
Hi Andrew! I find myself in a similar situation as you, however I know you have a big head start as to your analog set up. In the past I also looked at upgrading and I looked at my speakers (Infinity RS1-B's) as the first to change. After some aud... 
Dynavector XX-2
Yes Thom, I completely agree about the correct load for a cartridge. I am lucky that I have an Aexthetix Rhea phono pre-amp that is very flexible and can dial in different loads (and gains as well). My Helikon sounds to me so much better in my sys... 
Pipedreams vs. Soundlabs
Brian, RIGHT ON with your explanation of deep bass. I for one love the sound and feel of the bass hitting your gut! However, you are CORRECT...ain't that way at the concert hall. I have always believed that we as audiophiles and music lovers want ... 
Dynavector XX-2
I heard a shoot out between 5 different cartridges a few years ago. It was presented by Harry Weisfeld and it matched the Dynavector XV-1, Dynavector XX-2 and 3 other cartridges that I cannot remember (sorry).What I do remember is that almost all ...

Lenco 75 versus Garrard 301?
Thanks Mark! I am doing my homework now trying to decide on either one of these TT or on one of the new newer belt drives. I know this subject has been kicked around for quite some time. Anyway, the Schroder Ref is a long way off. Things, I hear, ... 
new "heavy platter" for VPI HR-X?
I am not 100% sure about this, and I hope Sirspeedy chimes in, but as I understand it Harry W. decided to come out with the heavier model platter to appease the many who read Salvatore's review which knocked the lighter plater. A friend of mine ha... 
Personal turntable/cartridge evolution
Sorry all for derailing this thread....I should add my comments on my TT/arm evolution (if I can remember!)!Started with a Garrard (in the early 70's so I don't recall the model) and Shure 3Then went on to...dual 1219Phillips 212Thorens 125 (great... 
Personal turntable/cartridge evolution
CMK....WOW...I am happy for you! I am also interested in upgrading my TT and arm. I am leaning toward the Galibrier Glavia and a Schroder Ref arm. However, the Schroder may take longer then a year to get. So I am leaning towards a Tri-Planer. I kn... 
Personal turntable/cartridge evolution
Cmk.....the Scheu sure looks impressive. Is it a new model? What was you decision for dumping the Kuzma and going with the Scheu? 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
I'm still using (and loving) my Infinity RS 1-B's! 
Tracking Force Gauges
Happy to hear that Mark.....hope it comes soon...and enjoy!Rick
