| Best, or ideal record clamp Sota's. | |
| Best system you can assemble for peanuts ? There is one whole lot of terrific used equipment for sale at heart-breaking (for the sellers) prices. However,I'm not a fan of EBAY. A'Gon is terrific site for beginning exploration of the possibilities. | |
| Billy Cobham's Spectrum I bought this LP when it first came out. It's still a favorite. I play it L-O-U-D! I agree that Bolin was quite the talent. Love the cover art. | |
| Yamaha Amp Nostalgia Flg - The L65s sound terrific mostly for rock and jazz. The 70 watts produced by the CR1020 seem about perfect for sound repro for these JBLs. I tried playing them at a higher volume with a 1000 Watt amp (740-960w at 4ohm)and they could not handle... | |
| Sota Sapphire with or without vacuum? I've owned one Sapphire w/o vac, one w/ vac, and now have a new NOVA w/vac. To my ears vac produces greater detail throughout, especially with base tones. I've not noticed the dullness Dusty wrote of but agree about the enhanced detail and absence... | |
| Yamaha Amp Nostalgia MX1000U, MX10000U, CR1020. I have enjoyed all 3 of these terrific amps. Sold the 10000 series gear some years ago. My MX1000U is paired with the CX1000U preamp, and the equalizer of that time AND CONTINUES TO PERFORM IN A BIG WAY, impressively dri... | |
| How do you listen to your music? For serious listening I go to my audio room. Usually have a mood in mind. 1st go to Lp or SACD if I have it. One tune suggests another. Inevitably I fire up my Fender tube amp, get out my harp mic(yea,that"Green" thang)and my harps then crawl into... | |
| Your Best Vinyl Memory Super Session (Bloomfield, Kooper, Stills) and Truth (Jeff Beck). In 7th grade I spent my neighborhood lawncutting income to purchase my friend's older sister's little stereo system. Toni threw in a couple of semi-current albums including the terr... | |
| How far away is your Nirvana My take from what I hear and read from majority of true audiophiles is that nirvana is no more than an unattainable concept. The "nirvana fulfillment line" is illusive. | |
| Vintage receiver 2 phonos I also have held onto a CR 1020 that I purchased new in '79. Up until about a year ago it was part of a second system I had. It's perfect except the volume control has malfunctioned now.Any advice on getting the part to replace the volume control?... | |
| Vintage receiver 2 phonos Take a look at Yamaha units. Very high quality in those days. From personal experience. | |
| TT suggestions for a newbie. There is already one heck of a lot of great input written on this topic on A'Gon already. You might benefit in searching the archives here, if you haven't already. | |
| Phonostage Question I second Art Audio. I'm totally pleased with my Vinyl One. | |
| What the most musical power amp for under $1K? Something preowned. Not too much of a gamble here. | |
| Should I get a new cart, TT or phono stage? Worth taking a look at the entry-level SOTA tables while you're at it. I write from experience with the Rega, SOTAs, Music Halls, Micro Seiki, and Pioneer but not the Denon tables. |
