Digitally recorded lps?
The truth is,that some labels were better than others.In the classical genre the EMI digital lp's were terrible.The Telarcs were quite good,and some labels,like the "New World" catalog were fabulous.Same thing applies to pop,on certain labels.In t... 
best preamp ever - cost is no object
Mike, I was only "ribbing you",about the Ayon pre-:)Yet it looks to be the kind of unit we will hear more about.Supposedly a stunning design.As to the Messenger,I wonder why it gets so little press,anymore.That one was originally slated to be a wo... 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
BTW,Dan--I have a mint first pressing of the DOORS first album.Really!I'd be glad to let you "steal it" from me,if you can manage to get me an Allaerts MC Finish -:) Also,Larry,now that I have your attention(I lost your E-mail address),what is the... 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
The unit is the Air Tight(of this I'm pretty sure).It lists at about two grand,and I believe is carried by a variety of places,like Music Direct,or Acoustic sounds. The reason it originally interested me(remember I put out a thread,vying for some ... 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
Larry,BOY am I glad to hear(SOMETHING)from you.I admit to being a bit saddened by lack of correspondence.You were SUCH a nice guy!! Anyway,the record flattener basically does nothing to change the characteristic of the original LP,as I understand ... 
Decca Jubilee / Dynavector XV-1s / ZYX / Allaerts
RaulI asked around,in my local audio group,about the Allaerts.What I got back was that they were a bit over rated!I am very interested in this line,though.Can you compare to my own cartridge?The Transfiguration Temper-V!NOT THE "W"!! Thanks in adv... 
Anyone try Townshend Super Tweeters?
Chris,though the Elacs look great,I want to keep my speaker acting like it was originally designed.A point source.I contacted Townshend,and hope to hear from them soon.My concern is,that since my speakers are so clean,up to 25 khz,will the Townshe... 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
I know a fellow hobbyist,actually a fanatical LP collector/audiophile,who was very doubtful as to the effectiveness of this.He has a "fabulous" collection of vinyl.Actually,probably one of the best LP collections available.He did spring for the di... 
best preamp ever - cost is no object
The new AYON,looks to be the newest kid on the block.Built in phonostage,with parts quality,to die for.You simply "have to have it" Mike L."!!I want a full report,by July!! 
Dynavector XV-1s What is the REAL story?
Raul,though you do make a correct observation,what it really comes down to is the fact that these are all just "people".Opinionated,as it should be,but no better able to differentiate the "correctness" of something than anyother hobbyist,who has b...

BTW Thom,the Air Tangent,that my pal owned,replaced the E.T.-2.At that time,four of my friends ran that arm.They all loved it!!AMOF a good portion of "The Mercury LP Series" reviewed in TAS was reviewed with the E.T. The Air Tangent was an upgrade... 
Dynavector XV-1s What is the REAL story?
Thomas,I LOVED your thread.To me,it is SO true!!I have often thought that HP relies too much on his set-up person,as you simply know, he is "not about to get on his hands and knees",like the average hobbyist.Thusly,how much can be learned,about ne... 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
Sorry,as I'm not trying to diminish anyone's product satisfaction.The fact is,that once we DO decide on a product,even with some operational quirks,we,as the person who spent our money,become very adept at operating it correctly.I have had vacuum ... 
Dynavector XV-1s What is the REAL story?
BTW,Raul--I knew,in advance of posing my question,that your response would be quite interesting,and in this case,seemingly plausable,as well. Also,I'm not really surprised with the discrepencies displayed by some industry people,as you know.Alot o... 
WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET?
jtgoFish,you're not telling me anything that is not obvious.Try following some of my earlier posts,if you want my take on the hobby.I appreciate your sentiments,but why should I not be genuinely happy for a fellow audiophile who has already commit...
