| Phono cable for Graham Phantom FlorianI use a Phantom arm and TW Acustic Raven table also.Along with my Phantom I purchased the Graham IC-70 phono cable.The IC-70 is a fine cable and a good starting point if you want to try other brands.I have borrowed a couple of other popular... | |
| Authenticity of First Release Blue Note ..Pre 1960 Jaybo thanks for your effort.I'm not going to start collecting any sizable collection of original Blue Note records.I'll buy select titles from Music Matters and Analogue Productions to replace past re-issues.However my all time favorite artist an... | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s As a lad growing up in the 1970s, believe me we liked our Rock loud and clear with heavy bass.We saw many of Rock legends perform live, some several times over the decades.By the late 1970s I became aware of "certain pressings" to hunt down that w... | |

| Authenticity of First Release Blue Note ..Pre 1960 What I'm primarily interested in are the Blue Notes of the 767 Lexington Ave address ,in script, on the covers and no Rs on the labels.Jaybo , I'm quickly finding out the rabbit hole goes deep. | |

| Raven One Owners - Last Table? KenI cannot comment on the Strain Gauge or the Whest as I have not heard them in a system, they could very well be a great choice.However what I do believe regarding phono stages is they could make or break a system.I believe a good preamp and pho... | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? Jeffery of High Water Sound the soul North American importer of TW Acustic audio and Thom Mackris the designer and builder of Gilibier tables, No doubt about it, both are stand up guys.What swayed me was a simple telephone conversation that turned... | |

| Mintlp Curio I remember, there were a few skeptics and I admit I was a little skeptical myself.One of the biggest skeptics was Stringreen....how could anything be more accurate then his VPI protractor....As you know he finally wore down and ordered one a... | |
| Can we go back to 33's please? For sure you certainly don't need a system at the level of Mikelavigne's or anything remotely close to hear what a well recorded record in 33 or 45 rpm has to offer.All though I'm sure Mikes system would be a real thrill to experience.If the sonic... | |
| Can we go back to 33's please? Rushton I agree , Classic Records have done a few exceptional 45 rpm re-issues that really do stand out and are treasures.Pure Pleasure is another company with some absolutely fabulous re-issues.Too bad Speakers Corner and Pure Pleasure don't rele... | |
