| Help completing vinyl front end. metaphysics, it mite be hard to find a used oracle mk-v, cuz they're relatively recent, but all the earlier wersions are fully updateable.re: tonearms, that jmw is supposed to be an excellent arm - i'd keep it. can't imagine why it wouldn't fit on... | |
| Pipedreams... Any thoughts? hi rcprince,yust fyi, the sha-gold *and* the ma-333 are both older versions of melos' most recent preamps - the sha-maestro replaced the sha-gold, & the music-director replaced the ma-333. while they both have upgraded parts, the older wersion... | |
| Rogue 66 vs Rogue 99 hi david, interesting proposal. to be honest, i tink it'd be more reasonable to have the output impedence of the rogue tested by an independent lab - prolly a lot less driving inwolved, too! ;~) as for me, w/a wife, young children, the alfa club, ... | |

| Help completing vinyl front end. i like all the 'tables mentioned above, but for the money, i tink the oracle is the best deal going - fantastic performance, fantastic appearance. perhaps i mite trade mine on a jc verdier - if i win the lottery, or something! :>) meantime, my ... | |
| "warm " full rangespeakers ,II i think *any* speaker w/a pair of *real* subwoofers offers the best bang for the buck in approaching true hi-end loudspeaker sound. re: warm speakers, not *my* 1st choice at their price-points, but the meadowlarks *are* nice, & warm-sounding... | |
| Best Zappa album *way* too many zappa albums to yust pick one. (77 different offerings on amazon.com, alone) the ones that get the most play chez-sedon are *one size fits all*, *uncle meat*, *weasel's ripped my flesh*, *hot rats*, *waka-jawaka*, *apostrophe*, *the... | |
| Freak Me Out david, yule love this: nusrat fateh ali khan & michael brook - *night song*. *wery* freaky, & amazing low-frequency info as well. | |
| Soundstage - Too much? jadem6, i'm pretty much w/ewe on this, except, i'd say not *even* in a dead room, but *especially* in a dead room. quality speakers and electronics have the ability to transmit this info if it's on the recording, *if* the info isn't smeared by com... | |

| Best speaker a wife would tolerate diapason adamantes' are small stand-mounted speakers that are georgeous, & do a disappearing act sonically. *what* speakers,honey?!? ;~) bass output is also wery good for speakers of this size. r:e: subs, to do 'em properly for 2-channel audio... | |
| Best used preamp for around $1000. . . while i'd still stick the melos sha-gold as my 1st choice, before getting a cary slp50, i'd pony up a few more bucks for their current slp98. won't bust that $1k budget *too* badly if ya get one used, & this is a nice unit, w/future upgradeabi... | |
| Rogue 66 vs Rogue 99 i had a hot-rod version of the rogue 99, & yes, it's coloured. besides, nice as mark o'brien is, he ain't up-front about the output impedence of his preamp. he states its 100 ohms - real-world experience told me 2400 ohms is more likely. i, to... |
