| Vinyl vs. CD noise on vinyl must be a generational thing. sure, an album in really poor condition is annoying, but most vinyl noise is not at all irksome to me. (most of my vinyl is in decent shape, too). must be cuz i've been doing that vinyl-thing for over 3... | |
| Preamp or Not to Preamp? i can't imagine *any* cd player that would sound better straight-in, then thru a *good* preamp. my brother-in-law has a resolution-audio cd player. it sounded better thru even a reasonably-priced alchemist kraken preamp (retail $1080), than straig... | |

| Preamp or Not to Preamp? how does it sound? i'd be surprised if it sounded better straight-in, but you have the equipment; try it both ways & decide for yourself. personally, if ya wanna save some money, i'd bet the preamp w/a much less expensive cd player would sound... | |

| Vinyl vs. CD hi craig, i have *no* problem w/background noises on my vinyl set-up, and i don't have a super-spendy cartridge either. the ortofon mc25-fl retails at $450, but the needle-doctor sells it (perpetually on sale?) for $225. perhaps your fono-stage wa... | |
| Integrated amp for NEWFORM R645 the gnu musical fidelity integrated, the electrocompaniet integrated, the pathos classic one hybrid integrated, plinius integrated. all have good reviews, not *too* much money... doug. ps - tell me more about those r645's... | |

| Vinyl vs. CD ya, i bought my turntable & fono-stage used. but, i have only ~$2k invested in it, & i'd put it up against *any* cd set-up at *any* price. so, yes, mar00, $500 mebbe ain't enuff $$$ to better your nice cd set-up, but ya don't have to drop ... |
