| Lyra and VPI Scout I too have concluded that, after owning and using so many different cartridge manufacturer's products over the years, Lyra is my cartridge company for life. Tracking, sound, durability are all superb. They work extremely well on VPIs unipivot arms... | |
| Alvin Lee dead at 68 Saw them at the Music Hall in Boston in the fall of 1972 and they rocked kick ass! "Traintime," oh man.Gonna crank "Hard Monkeys" from A Space In Time one of my favorites.RIP Alvin, we appreciate you. | |
| Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs RIP Alvin; I saw them in the Fall of 1972 from the balcony of the Music Hall, Boston for their Rock and Roll Music To The World tour. It was loud but sounded great. | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? Dark energy pushing everything apart is highly fatiguing. But seriously turn it down and give em a rest. | |
| I need help and phonostage suggestions Peter: I would be more than happy to provide an experienced, vinylophile listener experience review of your phono stage if you can provide me with a sample unit for a two month period. The phono stages I have owned ans used in the past include Kre... | |
| Squeezebox Dead? I have two Classics and they both work fine. | |
| Krell FPB vs Plinius SA-103 vs Pass Labs XA60.5 I agree with Unsound. I have owned a 400cx for ten years now and 1) it is not bright and 2) it handles complex passages just fine with excellent detail and three-dimensional resolution. | |

| Krell FPB 350Mcx's enough for THIEL 7.2's + CS5i's I'm aligned with Unsound on this; Krell and Thiels are an excellent match (KCT,400cx and CS6). This is my tenth year of owning this combo and it still sounds better and better as the years roll on by. But I listen to vinyl as often as digital and ... | |
| Affordable "Thiel type" speakers are? I have 2.4s and the bass is incredibly good so I don't know what you mean except fot the bass. What are you driving them with? | |
| EAR 834p Tube Upgrade/Replacement When I had the 834P I rolled many different brands of tubes in this preamp at all positions, including some nice NOS Telefunkens, both smooth and ribbed plates, and finally concluded that the current Genalex 12AX7s, as ordered from Tube Depot and ... | |
| VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video The Memorial series of arms works fine with all types of cartridges. I have alway used MC carts on my JMW 10.5 and there is NO problem. | |
| Any Alice Cooper fans? Went to the local annual record convention here in Eugene and, finally, found a mint copy of Killer on the original Warner green label for $5(it was missing the tear off panel). This was the first record I bought after my folks bought me a $69 ste... | |
| What country still has music? Beyonce? Superbowl? Utterly forgettable events.If you want good, current music, you have to work a bit to find it, but it's out there. The most talented and creative artists are NOT going to be front and center on prime time. This is the zeitgiest... |
