| Who believes that Robert Plant Nice try! Hey he's good and all that but not "best," whatever the heck that is. | |
| Edgar Winter is still alive. Saw Edgar with Ringo's All Stars a couple of years ago here in Eugene, OR. Great show and Edgar played and sang as well as when I saw him as Edgar Winter Group in Boston at the Music Hall in the the Fall of 1975 with Dan Hartmann and Rick Derringe... | |
| Phono Preamp price range $2000-$4000 Manley Chinook. Quiet, dynamic, flexible, tubes. | |
| High End Tube Gear Transition to High End SS I wouldn't change a thing based on the reasons you provide. Change for change' sake alone is likely to be disappointing. | |
| Speaker cable recommendations Yes, Anti Cables Level 3, finally, finally even besting my previous favorite Mapleshades. And previously, Tara, Synergistic, Van den Hul, Audioquest and Harmonic Technologies.Superb cables, fair price. | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport There really is nothing else out there like the PWT, and for that reason, it is an end point for CD playback for me. However, until you have heard playback from it via the I2S interface, that keeps the three clocking signals separate and discreet,... | |
| Time to blast off from Rhea No, I had a Rhea and decided that, while I loved the sound of tubes in a phono pre, the noise was too much. Then had a Manley Chinnok, which was superb and DEAD QUIET, then traded up for a Steelhead, which is even quieter, as quiet as any solid st... | |
| "New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl Listened to Please Please Me last night with Grado mono cartridge on Technics 1200 mkII. Dynamics and clarity are all there. Surface is very quiet. Vocals have never been clearer on any pressing of this album I have, including Dutch 1978 blue box ... | |
| Super Cheap Placeholder Cartridge Scott, that AT95e will improve over the next 20 hours or so, smooth out and begin punching some serious bass. Good choice! | |
| Anyone still playing on Cassette decks? Enjoying Exit...Stage Left while writing this morning on a Nakamichi BX300. Sounds killer. Replaced all the rubber on this fine deck and it sings. Paid a mere $200 for it in mint condition.Have a Nak Dragon currently being serviced at Willy Herman... | |
| Can a phono stage really do this? It's the stylus/cartridge/arm/turntable combination that is rejecting the tics and pops, not the phono stage. | |
| Pro-ject speedbox: Is improvement worth the $ ? I should have added that I too use a voltage regulator, in this case a regenerator, a PS Audio Premier Power Plant, and even with the Speedbox plugged into that, there was an audible improvement. | |
| What does music mean to your life/ It is part of my personal healthcare plan. Seriously, along with exercise and eating properly, listening is the one thing that has never let me down, and has always provided a new perspective to my mind interested, calm and at peace. And it doesn'... | |
| Super Cheap Placeholder Cartridge AT95e, I'm running mine now and to my ears, it is a more dynamic and refined cartridge than even the Shure 97. It needs to track at 2.0 grams though. | |
| Pro-ject speedbox: Is improvement worth the $ ? I had an MM7 for a few years, and when I added the Speedbox I noticed immediately the improvment in image stability and pace. Do yourself a favor and add this essential piece of gear to your MM table. |
