| Bergmann Magne David...who knows? But with great turntable companies like VPI and Clearaudio who deliver great support, why would you want to take such a gamble? | |
| Bergmann Magne I wouldn't get the Bergman, even if it sounded the best. You may very well have a paper weight in a year. | |
| Ultimate Cables no more? fagetaboutit | |
| Biwire speakers I have always found a different result than Rlwainwright (above) I have always felt bi-wiring an improvement providing the speakers lend themselves to it. | |
| Listening habits and LP storage I live in Arizona where the temps rise to 100 plus degrees. I have been here for 4 years now....I store my records in the un airconditioned garage. I store them upright on shelves with the spines out so that I can pick and choose what I want to he... | |
| Record Surface Noise Question Have you checked azimuth? Go to a camera repair store and get a mirror that is silvered on the front of it (old, used camera mirrors are this way - most mirrors are silvered on the back side which won't give you as accurate an image)....place it o... | |

| General comments on SOTA Linns are VERY tweeky...Regas can also be, although much less than Linn. VPI's are an easy setup and once set up, you don't ever have to touch them again. Installing a cartridge is always a pain to do on any turntable, but probably you could have ... | |
| Upgrade tonearm A number of years ago, I had a Helius Orion tonearm. It was the most problematic component I ever had. It went back to England a number of times, and in the end still had binding bearings. Maybe they figured it out, but for ME, I wouldn't get near... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? Jadis sound good, but everyone I know who owned this brand experience failures of one kind or another. | |
| Which cost more: your system or your car? I probably paid about the same for both. 2012 Porsche Cayman R....All Ayre electonics with Vpi Superscout Rim Drive/Benz LPS, Vandersteen 5A's | |
| Pass Labs XP 30 VS Ayre KXR Pre I second it....the blue ribbon goes to Ayre |
