| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Coda for me. I have 2 15s stereo amps converted to monoblocks linked to the 05X preamp and the 06x phono preamp and I'm looking no further. Nirvana.Great thing about Coda is that you can talk to the owners and they are so accommodating. They set u... | |
| Have anyone replace VPI SSM belt with string? Concerning the turntable above it is not Ludlum it is a Lumley turntable. Sorry for the typo. | |
| Granite under wood for better isolation? I just got a new turntable which did not fit into my old cabinet so I set about building a new one and again the perennial question of what to make the support shelf out of? I thought about granite but it has its own frequency response so I wanted... | |
| Have anyone replace VPI SSM belt with string? I have a Ludlum turntable and the platter is driven by dental floss. This is very easy to do as the platter drive capstan is remote from the turntable and you can move it as far or near to the platter as practical.Just take a length of unwaxed den... | |

| Tonearms recommended for Oracle turntable I installed the SME 345 on my Oracle Delphi upgraded to Mark V together with a Grado Reference Master cartridge from a Morch blue dot tonearm and the improvement was substantial for clarity and depth. I also installed an Audioquest Leopard connect... | |
| bryston ss series vs. classe ca-201 I'm in the market for a new amp and I am considered the above two but thought the Mac 501 might be given an audition also. Is there any comparison? Any opinions | |
| Record-playing Rituals? I notice on this thread that many people eschew cleaning the stylus. With good reason, as the harm some of the cleaning fluids out there can do to the cartridge. I use a Japanese product called Zerodust to clean my stylus. It is a piece of very so... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I bought my B&W 801 in 1980. Recently bought a MC352 amp but began to realize that the sound was not bad but not as good as could be. Read in another thread about changing the amplifier output from 8 ohms to 4 ohms. Went one better and took it... | |
| Are modern speakers better than old speakers? Hello All,I had a very illuminating and thought provoking experience today: I auditioned a pair of B&W 802D speakers. I had advised the dealer that I was an analogue fanatic and that I would appear with my LPs. I arrived at the dealer who knew... | |
| Mac's BAD MATCH for 802D's? Brian, I did go and listen to a pair of 802d and with the set up in the shop I preferred my old 801. It wasn't fair to the 802d as the turntable set up and preamp was rudimentary to say the least and even when listening to a CD it wasn't up to the... | |
| Mac's BAD MATCH for 802D's? I purchased an MC352 a few months ago for my 1980 B&W 801 speakers. After reading the above thread I want to say Thank You, Thank You!! As I just swiched from the 8 ohms outport to the 4 ohm outport and the improvement in sound it magnificent.... | |
| How many LPs is enough? I'm a classical buff and when CDs were fist introduced I decided that I did not like the sound. My friends were switching to CDs and discarding their Lps, stores were selling LPs at give away prices so I just sucked them up and added to my collect... |
