PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions
I was so impressed with what I read that I finally purchased the GCPH. I'm auditioning it now. It has some stiff competition with 2 other units I have that retail for 3 times as much but so far it's in the running. More time will tell. My initial ... 
Best Country/Rock - Poll
I have to mention Joe Ely. Joe Ely! Check out "Letter To Loredo" for instance. 
The best "no fuss" turntable for $5K or less?
SOTA. Look at their offerings. 
I miss my Rega turntable. What to do?
How about a preowned SOTA (Star or higher on the SOTA ladder). This will top all of the others mentioned here in overall sound quality in my opinion. Wonderful value if you find the right used unit. More neutral with incredible sound stage, wonder... 
phono preamp advice
You owe it to yourself to at least check out the Art Vinyl One tube phono preamp. Warm, neutral, lovely sound that is quite capable of bringing life to classical and jazz as well as rock and blues. I find it significantly outperforms the Ear. You ... 
Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music
I believe the Scout is going to provide a rather cool sound that you may want to balance with a warmer cart such as the higher end Benz. The shelter 901 is an excellent choice. I would consider a different phono pre than the Ear. At least look int... 
Suggestions- High Performance TT/Arm- Rock Jazz,
SOTA Cosmos or Millenia with OriginLive Reference arm and Sheter 90x cart. Takes you into the $15k range plus or minus but into the $25K + range on performance in my opinion. Teres 300 also very, very nice. 
Heard a SOTA and I am pumped to get mine goin
You're going to love it! Once the SOTA is set up you do not need to touch it unless you get into tweeking. It's one of the easiest high quality tables to own. No fuss. I currently have an older Star Sapphire and had a Star before that. There are s... 
Heard a SOTA and I am pumped to get mine goin
SOTA is a fabulous table, especially for the money. Which model did you purchase? Did you purchase your arm and cart yet? If you did not purchase the Cosmos did you upgrade your armboard to the Cosmos (makes big difference)? I have owned 3 SOTA's ... 
buyer beware of late
I got burned good on purchase of a turntable from someone a lot of you may know named Albert whose business advertises on A'Gon. I paid above the market going rate for the table and was aware of this. But this was based upon Albert putting in writ... 
great vinyl sound cost as much as great cd sound
MarkD51-It's more than just having a dirty lp. The record cleaning machines get rid of the static, cleaning up the playback noticably. With your 450 lps I would definately purchase a decent lp cleaner. The sleeves seem to produce static electricit... 
PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions
Mark & Short Circuit,I cannot find the name of the internet business selling new, from the factory, not grade "B", GCPH units for $830 + shipping. I must have tossed the sheet I wrote on when I bought the Art Audio unit. This is real though. S... 
Top Ten Speakers of All Time?
McIntosh XR-7 Isoplanar Radiators with the MQ-107 Environmental Equalizer (from late 70's), even though there was a design flaw in the dome midrange speakers which McIntosh was able to correct (and still does) to perfection. Warm natural sounding ... 
Vintage systems- anyone else?
I seriously appreciate the better built and engineered vintage equipment in a simular manner as as I do a cared-for vintage automobile, a fine vintage wine, classic architecture, the musical classics in all categories, classic artwork, a leather c...
