| Spacedeck Vs. Scoutmaster Elinor,The Spacearm has integrated cables that end in RCAs directly to the phono stage, so no phono cable upgrade is possible w/o doing some serious DIY work inside the tonearm, which could be risky. However, your post got me thinkin'...Ozzy, I'm ... | |
| Spacedeck Vs. Scoutmaster Ozzy,It's a really good question. I have a Spacedeck, and heard my friend(Slipknot1)'s Scoutmaster, but not in the same system. Given the big differences in the two rigs, I sure can't say for sure. My gut tells me that it's a lateral move because ... | |
| Merlin VSM vs. Gallo Reference 2 or 3 You can email member "banksfriend". He heard the VSM-MX at my place, and he has commented before on listening to the Gallos. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Need more soundstage depth with Spacedeck and Ono John,I agree w/Newbee that something isn't right. As a Spacedeck/Spacearm owner, I'm confident that the table can certainly do much better than you're getting. Setup parameters are key, but the Spacedeck/arm isn't the trickiest to setup according ... | |
| Trying a turntable-it sounds crappy, what's up?? Lkdog,TWL & Johnnatais are painting a clear picture for you. I agree that about $1k would be great budget for a nice starter table, but think you can find something pretty good for $500-800 if you're patient. The VPI HW19jr and HW19III can be ... | |
| Trying a turntable-it sounds crappy, what's up?? Having never heard your particular model, I wouldn't want to jump in and say that the Technics is crappy, but will say this. With exception of a couple of comments from some folks who do heavy mods on SL1200s, not too many comments have arisen pra... | |
| VPI turntable again...... This is the most entertaining thread I've read in weeks. Edle, you're kinda like the person that knocked off Ken Jennings on Jeopardy, only different. BTW, I'm very interested in the Verdier tables. Please elaborate on your experiences with it, wh... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rush,Your depth of Classical knowledge & the records to accompany it, never ceases to amaze me. If I ever build my Classical collection to 1% of yours, with your continuing excellent recommendations, it will be a proud collection. Schubert "Tr... | |
| Which turntable should I buy? Nick,As a Spacedeck/Spacearm/Shelter 501 owner, and having a friend with a Scoutmaster/JMW9/Denon103 & Dyna17d (i.e. Slipknot1), I would heartily recommend either of these tables. Haven't heard any of the new Thorens tables, but most of the ra... | |
| Speaker upgrade recommendations pleae. The Puccini is a very synergistic match with Merlin TSM monitors. In fact, I recently helped a friend put together a nice sounding system around that pairing. We were trying to find a nice match for the TSM, and BobbyP, of Merlin fame, recommended... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ray, Rushton,As Billie Holiday fans, you might want to check out a sort-of-new artist named Madeleine Peyroux. She has 2 CDs out, one from this year, the other about 7-8 years ago. She has a voice and style that answer the question, "If Billie was... | |
| Super Scoutmaster or Teres? Pmotz,The original question is regarding the SUPER Scoutmaster($5k), not the Scoutmaster($2400). Unfortunately, I've never been able to hear the Teres tables, although I hope to. Any Philly area Teres owners out there? I know a bunch of us that wa... | |
| Large sweetspot That's a big space to fill w/a small amp, so I'd be sure to focus on the high efficiency aspect. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tvad,I agree w/you that Neck & Neck is great CD! Haven't seen it on vinyl either. Listening right now to freshly purchased Al Dimeola/John McLaughlin/Paco DeLucia - Friday Night in San Francisco. Probably the most accomplished acoustic guitar ... | |
| should i do tube? Jond's comments are really worth remembering. nice post!FWIW, I heard a nice Totem/tube combo, with a Jolida integrated. Pretty affordable for the quality I heard. Worth a listen if you get a chance. I agree that used tube amps will give you a cha... |
