| Tube Phono Stage to replace hybrid onboard The EAR phono stage, tweaked, was recommended to me when I was in a similar situation, and the ARC PH-3. For some reason, I ended up with the Linn Linto and have been very pleased. Absolutely no noise and loads of gain for MC cartridges. | |
| Acurus ACT3 vs. Others Echoing Foreverhifi, I have owned my Act 3 for about 2 yrs now and LOVE it. Its remote is truly universal and its sound is spectacular. Everything coming through it--satellite receiver, DVD player, tuner, VCR and laser disc player--sounds great. I... | |
| Multi Disk CD Players? I bought a used CAL CL-5 here and it has worked very well. The platter changer thing doesn't rattle around, but I occasionally have to "help" it to open by lifting up on the outside lip of the tray. I am told the CAL changers are very good in term... | |
| Best sub for VA Mahlers I demo'd the Mahlers with a REL Storm III, but the Mahlers did not need the sub. When the dealer turned off the REL, the speakers still had plenty of low bass and sounded fantastic. If you need a sub for HT, get a pair of Storm III's. | |
| Audiogon Grammys I nominate Patti Griffith, 1000 Kisses. I play this and the afore-mentioned Beck, Sea Change, all the time. | |

| This Sistrum stuff works Thank you, Tom and Twl, for your responses. Twl, I actually sold the LP-12 that I was trying to use in the bouncy living room. It was not on the Sistrum but rather on a Salamander Synergy doublewide stand. I just wasn't using the TT in that room, ... | |
| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. Thank you Formula One!! As Nrchy, said, that is an incredibly detailed and informative explanation. So "pompitous" is really "puppetutes." Makes a LOT more sense that way! (right) | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Hi Twl, I have kept reading this thread because I own and love Sistrum products myself (like Warren, I use speaker stands, mine under my Genesis 500 floorstanders, and a 5-shelf rack for my components). I am not a scientist and speak only from my ... | |
| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. But what IS "the pompitous of love?" Steve Miller has been speaking of it to me for 30 years now, and I still have no clue what it is. Is love pompous? Is that the same as pompitous? | |
| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. "Some people call me MauriceCause I speak/Of the pompetous of love"I read somewhere that that actually IS the lyric. Anyone know for sure? | |
| If your CD's are harsh, try this I know they're all digital copies, but my Marantz machine also lets you make a copy of a copy if you use the analog outputs and inputs. It's a second generation copy, which you can't make using the direct digital ins and outs, because of copy prot... | |
| Help on installing tubes, biasing...ARC VT100mk2 Yes, I was going to recommend the exact same link to Abe Collins' amazing how-to, step-by-step biasing procedure for this amp. His photos and instructions are fantastic. | |
| TT suggestions -- please The comments about a suspended TT (eg the Linn) bouncing all over the place when you walk on a suspended floor are right on. I sold mine for that reason; I couldn't use it in my living room. However, if you place the TT on a wall-mounted shelf you... | |
