| B&W DM604 S2 worthy upgrade from DM603 ? Tls49 - that's my precise concern... I'd almost want to remove one speaker to look inside. I don't know if they would let me do that (or if it's really as easy as unbolting it). | |
| B&W DM604 S2 worthy upgrade from DM603 ? Thanks Bcgator,The speakers seem to sound find, but one thing I did notice that has me a little nervous about them - there appears to be an ever so slight amount of rust on the bolts that hold the speakers in the cabinet. In my area that could be ... | |
| B&W DM604 S2 worthy upgrade from DM603 ? Hmmm. Now I'm thinking again. What would you say is a "reasonable price" or are we supposed to talk money in the forum? $400/pr, $600/pr, $800/pr? Rather than really asking what they are worth, what I have to determine is - how cheap do I need to ... | |
| B&W DM604 S2 worthy upgrade from DM603 ? Thanks for the replies! Unless someone chimes in with something that changes my mind, I think I'll save my money for some other toy!I'm not as critical of quality as I suspect some of the folks on Audiogon are. I've spent a relatively small amount... | |
| Counterpoint DA-11 - Genesis Dig. Lens - DA-10 Dac I have found a DA-10 and DA-11 for sale local to me and I'm considering buying one or both pieces. Would the great sound be lost by using JUST the DA-11 straight into a mid-grade receiver's optical port?In other words, is the richness coming from ... | |
| Rega P25 w/orig Exact Cart - good? + mV question So far I'm very happy. Took me a little longer to get mine set up because I had to fish some wires, but I'm very happy so far. I think I put 6 hours on it today! Broke out a wide variety of stuff I hadn't heard in years. Elvis, Al Hirt, Spyro Gyra... | |
| Rega P25 w/orig Exact Cart - good? + mV question @Viridian: I actually misstated a little. I don't have an Acromat. I have a Funk Acroplat Platter. The only mat I have for the glass platter is the ringmat. The original mat is gone. @Slanski62 and Viridian: Thank you for the information on where ... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Question about steam cleaning: How do you use steam and not damage the labels? I'm interested in this zero solution method, but concerned about the labels. | |
| Rega P25 w/orig Exact Cart - good? + mV question Thanks everyone for your help!I brought the table home today and think I got a good deal! And the original glass platter was there after all. It was just hidden under another platter and I didnt see it at first. I ended up paying $750 for the Rega... | |
| Rega P25 w/orig Exact Cart - good? + mV question I went back and took a closer look at the unit and I'm really not sure on the value of this package now. The guy who could make a decision wasn't there so it gave me a good opportunity to come back and chat with everyone on the board one more time... | |
| Rega P25 w/orig Exact Cart - good? + mV question So, discussion about which cart is best aside, how can I know if the existing cart is viable once I have the unit? Seems to me you'd need a microscope and someone who knows what they're looking for. | |
| Rega P25 w/orig Exact Cart - good? + mV question Thanks. I'm inclined to agree with Goatwuss here. I was implying the owners know nothing about the cartridge life, not the whole thing. They do know that it's an expensive turntable because it's found it's way to a hi-fi shop. They don't normally ... |
