| another arm/cart question (long post) The OC9 definitely has a great bass and I can’t imagine that improving." You're in for a pleasant surprise if you choose the ART9. | |
| Franco Serbin Accordos after one month..... Enjoy your Accordo's. They're beautiful to look at, and I'm sure they sound fantastic. I have no doubt Serblin's line follows his SF legacy. They're probably constructed better than the current Sonus Faber. My longing for a pair of Stradivari's ... | |
| another arm/cart question (long post) Search the archives, and you'll find ART9 admiration from owners of mid fi to substantial setups declaring it fit to play with the big guns-provided you the have proper supporting gear, which it appears you do. Naturally, phono stage is paramount.... | |
| another arm/cart question (long post) I've use the BB and AT OC9. I found the AT ART9 to be a more pleasant ride. "Affordable" entry to high performance MC's. ART Series - Line Series - Cartridges | Audio-Technica | |

| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? There are members here, who have experience behind the glass in a studio. Those ears, are maybe the only qualified to comment on audiophool "sonic truth." "Absolute Sound".... whatever Putting together a setup that pleases one's ears is the go... | |
| VPI VTA Base question If the VPI forum is still active, might be worth searching. Reaching out to VPI is in order too. Are you using the VPI protractor? If so, it's supposed to be a distance that's somewhere between Stevenson/Baerwald. If you have an aftermarket jig, ... | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? EVERYTHING adds "color." The only "authentic" sound is what the guys in the studio heard. | |
| Phono Stage Upgrade Since you mentioned interest in tubed units, this looks like a good deal. Being the "SE" model, you're getting upgraded components putting in on the level of an ARC. A "best buy" for a little over $3K. Balanced Audio Technology VK-P10 SE, Speci.... | |
| Doobie Brothers' drummer John Hartman dead at 72. 72 is young by today's standards. Very unfortunate. I have Doobies first 3 LP's. Tribute spin this weekend. | |
| Turntables "That's not a P10. It's an RP-10 - different arm, etc. I failed to point that out in my post. Nevertheless, If it can be had for $4500 or less, good buy. "P8 will beat this one I believe." sokogear-For the cash outlay with the cart, whatever" i... | |
| Turntables Here's the P10 suggestion I mentioned. Offer $4500, and you have ready to go table. If you don't already own a decent phonostage, find a used $3-5k used piece for half and you will have a SOLID setup for reasonable cash outlay. | |
| Turntables "This" vs "that" is a futile pissing contest. One of the "best" cart brands- Soundsmith, used VPI to demonstrate their fine carts, INCLUDING their top tier Strain Gauge setup on those crappy unipivots. The Soundsmith bookshelves and VPI's I hea... | |
