| Upgrade: Turntable or Cartridge? JwglistaCongrats on the new cartridge. I'm using a karat with the Emotion TT with really nice results. One suggestion, consider the CMB upgrade for the Emotion. For far less than a new table, I found it to be a big jump in perofrmance. sballs | |
| Desire upgrade but uncertain where to begin Mortificatio,I think the Dynavector 17d3 is a bit out of the budget of $100 ;). More like $1200... a bit less used. It is however a great cartridge that would satisfy wahat you want in terms of sound.If you plan on purchasing a new expensive cartr... | |

| Von Schweikert VR-33 I've had a pair for 7 months and have been extremely satisfied. Your question about sonic traits is slightly difficult because I don't spend much time thinking about their sonic traits... I just enjoy the music. However, if I had to describe them ... | |
| Good CD for testing bass response I second Theo's Bela Fleck suggestion. I always include a sampling of Bela when auditioning new gear. Only problem is that once you buy one album, you'll want/need to buy the rest.SB | |
| Adding Sub to current system I have recently experimented with bringing my sub from a dedicated home threater into my two channel system (consisting of paradigm signature 2's). I immediately loved the additional bottom end as the sub really filled out the presentation and cre... | |
| Best day of work ever... Since he gave me such a nice vintage gift, I'm thinking that to repay his kindness I'll get him a bottle or two of wine that he can age. Lunch will be in order as well.SB | |

| Another Inexpensive Monitor Thread, $300 used I second the vote for the B&W 601. Although I've been through a number of monitor upgrades in my main system, I've always found a place to use the 601's... it just isn't worth selling for the money I could get for them. They are currently doin... | |
| Clearaudio Emotion CMB Upgrade Ben_mijts,I got the part installed last night. It is an extremely easy upgrade for the Emotion table and looks to be slightly different design than the higher end clearaudio tables' CMB upgrades. Basically the upgrade consist of three parts; a too... | |
| Clearaudio Emotion CMB Upgrade Ben_mijts,My dealer expects the part in tomorrow so I'll let you know.SB | |
| How does a beginner turntable compare to digital ? VqLong200,I think a table in that range is a good idea to start out with. I was in your position five or so years ago. What I have found is that vinyl isn't necessarily better than digital, it's just different. I personally find the difference ver... | |
| Advice buying a Music Server? Just Olive 4HD? Keith,Your post is right on the money. I desperately want to upgrade my digital frontend but don't want a new CD player... hi-rez downloads are what I'm looking for. I find it hard to believe that there are so few choices for an all in one solutio... | |
