| What Turntable to buy under $600 ? I'm afraid all turntables require finicky setups, or else you're wasting your money on the cartridge. A well aligned and balanced cartridge will sound way better than one that is simply bolted to the arm.What varies is that some turntables you set... | |
| Green Mountain Audio at RMAF I think I agree with Opalchip. My guess is that GMA are moving from pricing based on a profit margin to pricing based on what the market will bear.That's a fully justifiable decision for them to make. If they think $2900 Callistos will sell agains... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Dav, you beat me to it. Perhaps if it's a girl she could be named Linn.Pat, I don't really know what to say. I hope that the remainder of your time is of the highest quality, with the maximum time with family and friends. You've shown extraordinar... | |
| Green Mountain Audio at RMAF I noticed on another thread that you said that you thought the Europas were perhaps a little unrefined for classical music.That hasn't been my experience, but I do think that they are brutally honest about upstream equipment and recording quality.... | |
| Green Mountain Audio at RMAF Drubin ... how were the Callisto's and Continuums ? IIRC you own Europas ? | |
| spica and ls3/5a's Phil,The LS3/5 might beat the Spica on tonal accuracy ... I'll admit that. But the margin of victory would be quite small IMO.On the other hand when it comes to imaging and casting a wide deep soundstage there is no competition. The LS3/5 is not e... | |
| spica and ls3/5a's No.I have owned spica angelus and tried Ls3/5s for an extended weekend demo and the imaging of the ls3/5 is nowhere near that of the spicas.I couldn't believe it at first given that the ls3/5s are considerably more expensive, but after 2-3 days wh... | |
| Early 80's - late 70's best audio products I think the Rega planar 3 deserves a mention. It's still competitive in its price bracket 20 years later. | |
| Rega planar 3 bearing and oil For $4 I'll take a punt on a silicon nitride grade 5 bearing and see if it makes any difference. It's only a small part of the bearing assembly, but the fun of trying is worth the $4 admission. If I hear any difference I'll post back. | |
| classical sampler? Classical music was composed over a span of hundreds of years, and consequently changed quite considerably over that period, from early music, through baroque, classical, romantic and then modern. I would try to select a few representative pieces ... | |
| Rega planar 3 bearing and oil Thanks Stefan. If you don't want to remove the bearing housing from the plinth then a small magnetic screwdriver can be used to remove the bearing from the well. | |
| Rega planar 3 bearing and oil Pepboys, autozone, some grocery store etc etcHypoid gear oil (80w) is put into manual transmissions. I got the information to use hypoid gear oil from a former Rega dealer on another forum, and it does make perfect sense.A manual transmission is h... | |
| Exprience with Avid turntables? there was a similar question asked at www.pinkfishmedia.net and the answer was that Avid makes great turntables, but that they are relatively expensive versus the sound quality. The poster recommended a Nottingham hyperspace / tonearm as a more co... | |
| Recommendation - Rotel vs. Audiolab Audiolab built no-nonsense, high quality amplifiers that will last 20+years with minimal attention, and use generic parts for easy service/replacement.Their sound is very very neutral, so some find it a bit lifeless, but if accuracy is your aim yo... | |
| Reference 3A De Capo or Rogers LS3/5 ? The other route you could consider would be to add a subwoofer. I borrowed some Spendor S3/5s for long weekend from a friend and set them up crossed at 70Hz with my REL strata. It worked very well, to the point where the crossover was hard to dete... |
