| A New MC to Catch One's Attention "You've got to be nuts or have money to burn to spend $9K on a cartridge" To owners of a TechDas Zero, Clearaudio Statement, etc., it's like changing socks. AT MC2022 is a jvalue/budget Hana. | |
| A New MC to Catch One's Attention The ART1000 was the top dog a a few years at $5K price point. Arguably, it's in the league of $5K+ up to...? Now AT has a model to compete with the uber $10K+ MC's, AND it's only $9K! Looks like they decided not to carry on with the exposed coi... | |
| Barbara Strieisand "Live at the Bon Soir" 1962 Babs earliest recordings is a reminder that she had a voice that maybe is in the league of the greats during the 50-60's.

| Bi amping my ML SL3 speakers 'Any idea why these speakersxare rated either 80-200 or 80-400WPC on various ML documentation. That is a significant difference !' Being concerned about the speaker power ratings is probably the least of your concerns, since your preferred listen... | |
| Phono preamp with best mid bass Your "goldilocks" phono amp is purely subjective. No one can recommend your "just right." Start with the "best" pressing-which is yet another subject argued to death. Tube units seem to project a more convincing organic presentation to me. | |
| Bi amping my ML SL3 speakers "I already have a rotel amp that is overpowering the wiofers so I really think I would benefit from bi amping." The 1st post about overthinking it is what I would agree with. Your amp isn’t "overpowering the woofers". There isn't anything near 2... | |

| VPI HW-19 with Graham 1.5 arm Question/Suggestions The OP can see that recommendations and "whats wrong" are all over the place. I've heard countless uber setups with every form of "correct" setup. Just about any decent brand/technology will sound "good." One thing for certain is it's the sum of... | |
| Absolutely marvelous story and a fun jazz-ish recording What in my response implies I didn’t read the WHOLE article?sigh | |
| Talking Book Hard to process-50 years! Seems like just a couple years ago I was listening to the album when it was NEW. Talking Book is an essential must have for Stevie Wonder fans. Intro to "Maybe Your Baby" blasted is great to "feel" the Moog. | |
| Absolutely marvelous story and a fun jazz-ish recording The most interesting part of the article is that the guy wasn't a player for most of his life. Proof that if some is determined to learn a musical instrument, it doesn't matter how old you are-medical conditions aside if present. The reading musi... | |
| VPI HW-19 with Graham 1.5 arm Question/Suggestions " Jeff Rowland Consonance with onboard phono module. Likely can be outdone with an outboard unit. Simply trying a different cart may be the solution. Your setup doesn't need add-ons to sound acceptable. | |
