Apr 28, 2019	VPI Prime or Prime Signature? Joeyfed55-Aa a fellow VPI user, you're at the hair splitting level where your hard eared cash is invested in questionable ways.I don't hear the value of the Signature over the regular Prime. In the context of an entire system, Phonostage will be t...
Apr 26, 2019	Bobbie Gentry or Dusty Springfield? Interesting to see Bobbie Gentry and Dusty Springfield in topic. I bring my period press of Ode to Billy Joe and Dusty's LOL to hear on show systems.Both album recordings are fantastic on nice systems.As a child,I was in love with Bobbie. Her alb...
Apr 26, 2019	Your favourite Rush albums? This is a little off topic.Being a period press freak, can anyone share their "stamper" info on Moving Pictures?My copy is quite good. The build up on "The Camera Eye" and the assault of "YYZ" will test any system.I'm wondering if a Canadian or U...
Apr 25, 2019	Rega RP8 vs Clearaudio Concept I listened to one of these in my system. https://www.mofielectronics.com/ultradeck-turntableIMO, very competitive table/cart setup at your budget(assuming discount from MSRP)A no fuss setup out of the box. Worthy of a future cart upgrade,f you de...
Apr 25, 2019	Rega RP8 vs Clearaudio Concept I don't know about getting platter specific. Either way, VPI is a solid option. I would be more concerned with the complete package:table/cart/phonostage.A Rega will be more plug and play. VPI can be no fuss-after a little attention to setup. If ...
Apr 25, 2019	Sonus Faber Venere S - What amp to choose? I'm at a crossroads! "It sounds really good but I think the speakers need a little more horsepower to push them."You like what you hear., keep it.Relax...listen to music. I wouldn't get caught up in paper specs if your ears hear what they like. Classic audio nervosa s...
Apr 25, 2019	Rega RP8 vs Clearaudio Concept If you choose VPI, this is the one to get:https://www.upscaleaudio.com/products/vpi-super-prime-scoutIf it's within your budget, better value.Whatever you choose, ensure you're getting the most out of the table/cart by using the best phono amp y...
Apr 24, 2019	Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino? A power cord that requires additional power....Irony?Lets think one step further...better wall wart. Perhaps the aftermarket cryo'ed MKII.NOW you're cookin....
Apr 24, 2019	Any PS Audio P5 users out there? There are plenty of threads in the archives.Enough to keep you occupied and lose out on your deal.Best way to find out is try it. Everyone's experience will be different.That said, I picked up a used PPP, which is one of the LEAST popular models.G...
Apr 23, 2019	Wait- OMG! The song is really about...? I couldn't find any articles quoting EJ/Taupin. My understanding was some kind of tragic loss, but never gave it deeper thought.When I want compare interpretation from other listeners, I check this sitehttps://songmeanings.com/songs/view/35308221...
Apr 22, 2019	Your favourite Rush albums? The Rush cover album, Feedback is a good listen. Their choice in songs are great.Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues" is crank worthy.MP was around the time R&R was seriously changing. The Gods were becoming unfashionable, while MTV was the ne...
Apr 22, 2019	Your favourite Rush albums? I was a big Rush fan up to Moving Pictures.My period presses up to Moving Pictures come out now and then. 2112 is difficult to listen to at low volume still, after 43 years.IMO Moving Pictures,if you have a clean period press, is a demo, show off ...
Apr 22, 2019	Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino? If you decide on Nordost, the Blue Heaven has similar construction as their upper end.I use Nordost from the wall to speakers. If you put in the time, you can find decent used prices.
Apr 22, 2019	Nice MM Phone Preamp to use while main unit is getting repaired? When my phonostage had to be shipped off to be repaired, I picked up the $129.00 Schiit Mani. The performance for the money was fine. Obviously no tube magic, but convincing enough to enjoy records. I know how great the Herron is, I demoed one in ...
Apr 21, 2019	Rega RP8 vs Clearaudio Concept If you can stretch your budget, the P8 with Apheta cart,not the discontinued RP8, looks like the Rega to get.By all accounts, worth the extra dough and a "you're done" table. Put that with future best phonostage you can afford.You're out of audio ...
