You Still Need, What??
By the way, Moonguy....when you get your turntable, dump the VPI minifeet and screw in Bearpaws.... Vermontaudio.com Still another add-on to be reckoned with. 
You Still Need, What??

I need advice on a good value for speakers
Check out Vandersteen speakers at your price limit. They all are good value for the sound they produce 
Benz Slr Gullwing vs Lp s
You can tell if you have the Micro Ridge stylus by looking at the enclosed frequency response chart. I think all Benz cartridges have the MR stylus now. I had the LP and now have the LP-S. Although they are similar, the LP-S extracts things from t... 
Piano Notes On Harbeth SHL 5
AS you know, the piano is a percussion instrument, and before you hear the string tone, you should hear the percussive sound of hammers striking the strings...then the sound of the strings coming off the sounding board should be revealed. I've hea... 
Benz Slr Gullwing vs Lp s
Agucela... The LPS is the better cartridge. Its not too warm, cold, this, or that. Its simply wonderful. Before you get one, realize that it is a VERY heavy cartridge, and you better know for sure that your arm can properly balance it. I would say... 
Benz Ruby ZH or Wood SM?

Musical Fidelity Tri Vista DAC, Should I upgrade?
I was actually commenting on the original poster's question....it seems everyone on these pages is looking for that piece of the puzzle that will make it all right. I wasn't trying to be snide...just what we all do around here. English is not a ve... 
Phono Pre-amp with XLR
I am using a VPI Superscoutmaster/rim drive with a balanced XLR junction box to an Ayre preamp. The result is an absolute quiet background and clear, clean signal. My LP's are as quiet as CD's. No hiss, hum, - nothing even with the volume control ... 
CJ custs – please help me get rid of my headache
