| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat,Sometimes words are inadequate. I think you get the sense of what the Audiogon community feels for you and wishes for you. It's strange, but the impact your thread has had is quite enormous. I think my wife summarized it this weekend, when a n... | |
| EMM DCC2 vs Hi End Preamps In my system, the DCC2, connected directly to an Atma-Sphere MA-2 was distinctly inferior to the Atma-Sphere MP-1 MkII, which had more body, structure and soundstaging; in comparison, the DCC2 sounded a little bright, thin and clinical, and was, t... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Pat, I'll follow your advice. Sota faxed me a one page instruction page which isn't very helpful - although they did overnight me 2 belts gratis - and I cant reach Kirk as they're moving to WI. Anyone out there re-aligned the motor assembly? | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help So the SOTA got damaged in shipping - motor assembly alignment off, pulley not level, so belt flies off. Both SOTA distributor and dealer very responsive and concerned and will fix it ASAP. But has to be shipped off again. Anyone try to fix a moto... | |
| Integrated amplifier - selection and alternatives The most amazing 2 integrated amps I have ever heard are the Jadis Orchestra Reference, but only about 40 watts - main down-side is that it is a bugger to bias - you have to take it apart - and, even more impressive in many ways, the Bel Canto SET... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Wife: "I thought you bought a re-conditioned turntable" "I did" "Then why are you still building it, it's been nearly 7 hours?" "Because I have to get the VTA correct and I cant reach the screw, so I have to put it on blocks" She: "Then will we he... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Request cancelled. The incredible Lugnut to the rescue. He has sent me photos, a very detailed explanation and a proposed plan of action to fix the VTA. Thank you, Patrick. You are amazing....... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Any volunteers, familiar with the Origin live Illustrious tonearm (in a SOTA Sapphire V) willing to help me fine-tune the set-up? If there are such saintly A'goners, please e-mail me your phone number, so that I can call between 7-11 pm tonight. I... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Nsgarch, Unfortunately, your reasoning resonates in me in ways almost mystical, but very persuasive - to the soul of an adherent to an old, tested and anchronistic theme - that of tradition and anti-modernity, that shuns convenience for the sake o... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help It is obvious why, when I went to Cutler's record/CD shop in New Haven yesterday, they had maybe a few (if that) hundred old LPs, most of them of average-poor quality, and many, many thousands of CDs - and no new classical LP pressings............... | |

| Need to re-discover analog - please help Further update and question: Now, 5 weeks later, and still waiting for its arrival, SOTA Sapphire V TT, OL Illustrious tonearm, Shelter 901, EAR 824. As some of you wisely predicted, this will not only end up in the main rig (Atma-Spheres, Kharma ... | |
| It's funny how records are still best. >>But one thing is for sure. CDs will make you fatter<<And richer. As someone who misguidedly threw out all his hundreds of LPs 15 years ago, and starting from scratch again in the voodoo world of vinyl, I am amazed that the same recor... |
