| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? For my ears there is and harsh edge to CDs, and digital in general, that makes them non-listenable for me. I get listening fatigue before I get through one CD. In process of selling off my CD collection. No digitally mastered vinyl in my collec... | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? A lot of it is truly (as people have said here) personal taste. I am one of those who have never felt the CD sound was right. My ears keep telling me something is amiss. | |
| Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO Should this site be AngryGon instead of AudioGon? | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? This site really cracks me up! Sometimes I read it just to laugh at the nasty comments people make to each other. Hilarious. We should rename it to AngryMob instead of AudioGon. | |
| 70's Receiver and/or Integrated Amp recommendations A properly restored Pioneer SX-1250 is very hard to beat with the right speakers (can sound a little bright otherwise).

| Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss? Mark Levinson 23.5. | |

| Review: Denon 301 MK II Cartridge I am going to pull the trigger on one of these for my vpi scout soon. Will report back on my impressions. | |
| Phono cable advice. Another plug for the audio sensibility impact se. Just added one to my vpi scout/dl110 combination and the increase in detail and smoothness is stunning. That said, I was using a wireworld Luna 7 which is not really intended as a phono cable, so... | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? Fascinating! My first decent system was a dual tt, Harman kardon 330A receiver, and audio analyst speakers. I was about 14 at the time. Early 70s. The journey taken me through amps from SAE 2400L, Amber 70, Proceed Amp 3, and a pair of Rowlan... |
