| Maggie MMG versus Ls3/5a I suppose one could categorize the Ls3/5a as being detailed, refined and lush....so perhaps the contrast I'm looking for may suggest a tight, highly dynamic fast rocker! Do MMGs have that going on, or had I better look at something like the Tekton... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Having read this thread carefully, of course I'm only able to 'imagine' the sound of the Lore-S. I'm attracted by everything I'm reading about them. My present speakers are British LS3/5a monitors on stands. I like classical orchestra and 50's jaz... | |
| MM cartridge for WT Amadeus turntable Thanks guys, I'm encouraged to stick with my cartridge. | |
| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? Well, I finally DID investigate stand-alone phono stages and I am now a very happy owner of a Graham Slee Reflex phono MM stage with it's PSU1 power supply. Simply brilliant! I think I got it right in terms of the best place to put my money. The s... | |
| Who listens only to vinyl? It's a really good point.....that chasing vinyl can open one up to previously unknown musical riches and encourages whimsical exploration.My discoveries: original Fifties mono vocal jazz recordings on the Bethlehem label, and most of Bruno Walter'... | |

| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? Thanks David, for your perspective on the V15 versus 2M Black. Yes, if I was to invest upwards of $600 on a new cartridge, it had better be a startling upgrade!I'm slowly getting the impression that my cartridge is already near the high end of the... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? a Neko Audio D100 might be very attractive, paired with my 640c. I wonder how it might compare to the Rega DAC, which is described as having a similar soundscape?In a DAC-CDP configuration, how important is the mechanical player in contributing to... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? I meant CDP! | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? Thanks Realhifi. The Linn DS unit is out of my reach. Perhaps this kind of unit will enter mainstream mid-fi in the future. I hope so.Do you think the Cambridge 640c kind of presentation is last-generation technology which is now clearly eclipsed ... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? So far, I like the idea of a CDR with a tube output stage. From comments here and elsewhere, it seems that it might shift the listening experience closer to the joy I get from vinyl. I'm pondering the options, but the Jolida sounds compelling.I wa... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? Lowrider57, I'm really glad to hear of your experiences with the same music that I play! This gives me confidence to look in the Jolida direction, thanks a lot.The tube CDP option is why I also wondered about the Decware player. It seems to have g... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? Tgrisham, you say you liked your Jolida tubed CDP......I assume you moved onwards from there. Did you compare it to other players, and can you talk about its sound?Thanks | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? Rok2id, your response is reasonable. But I would like to enjoy some of the many recent CD issues. I have a dumb faith that there IS a CD player out there I'll enjoy. Chuck, I think you are right and streaming is a viable way to go for the future..... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? Thanks, I'm of a mind that down the road a bit, CDs are going to enter the domain of media-of-the-past. Since there are so many years of published titles on regular CD, they are going to be available one way or another for decades, new or used. I ... |
