Cartidge for VPI Scout JMW9 & AR PH3SE...
A-V L is correct. You can pull at least 62db's from that unit. Many cartridges mate well with the Scout, a recommendation would depend on your budget and sonic preferences. 
What is this interconnect?
We have had several pairs of these thru the store and I am continually amazed at just how musical they are compared to how inexpensively they trade. I've seen both a grey and tan sheathing and the wooden connectors with and without the arrows. I w... 
Best Remote $1,250 used preamp?
Hi Paul:I think you're getting some excellent recommendations and had a GREAT list to start off with as well. I wholehartedly agree with David on the Adcom and will leave it at that. I wanted to have you think further about the full function remot... 
Suggestions for my first turntable?
Alot of good recommendations in here folks...,what to do, what to do?! Being a retailer, I'll keep my opinion to myself unless specifically asked for it. But I did want to point out that the MMF-1 is a phono stage, not a turntable. Happy hunting B... 
TRELJA in New York, 2002
Hi Everyone!It has been interesting reading all of your comments on the show. It seems that everyone who posted had a great time and was glad they were there. I had a ball this year and was very excited by the number of attendees, most of whom see... 
Some thoughts about value in high-end audio
Boy, oh boy, have you guys started up a tall tree with this one. This is, over all, a pretty difficult issue to debate. Can you realistically expect any industry like ours to exist on the basis of cost plus alone? And I would put forth that the en... 
don henley anyone????
Lots of great stuff here guys, Don's just a genius. But my vote goes to The End Of The Innocence. Not only one killer cut after another, but his writting is brilliant and takes you to many different places in the course of 45 minutes. I could wax ... 
Sonic Frontiers Line 2 or 1 compared to new SE
Hi Garfish:I've been a Sonic and Anthem dealer for some years now and am proud to tell you that I helped author the SE versions back in early '99. It all started with a few mods I'd requested from Chris Johnson, President of the company, and slowl... 
How many of us have worked in audio stores?
I'm with Albert. It's the relationships that make this so interesting,...and the look on a thrilled customers face! John Entwistle (bassist for The Who) once said, "I do this because I have to. The money, the fame, the other perks are nice, but pl... 
harmonic technology power cord
The H/T Pro-11 AC is a price/performance CHAMPION. You can do a little better, but it'll cost ya'! 
Non Audiophiles are funny people
I've had two pairs of Maggies over the years and have always enjoyed the room divider comments. (and the look on peoples faces when I explained that these were actually speakers. "Noooo,...really?!") I never went so far as the light show story, bu... 
set amps with merlin vsm??? enough power
Hi Jim:I have run hi output SET's with the Merlins with excellent results, but the least powerful of these was 20wpc. The manufacturer suggests a minimum of 17wpc and I would say that the success of 8wpc will depend on how many db's you're looking... 
what made you get up & dance during the Olympics
I had the opportunity to attend three of the events and see SLC sustain an atmosphere it has never displayed before. That and walking down the middle of Main St. in Park City amidst the other revelers made me feel like dancin'. The atmosphere was ... 
ProAc 1.5, Joseph Audio RM22si, Tyler Ref. monitor
That's a nice list of speakers, and like most everyone else I agree that you really need to audition things for yourself as listening is so very subjective. Everyone weighs attributes so differently it's a wonder that recommendations are of any va... 
cartridge for rega 25,Sonic Frontiers SFP-1
Hi JSBail:Save up a couple of hundred more and go for a Lydian Beta, but for God's sake, buy it here in America! By the time you pay for shipping and import duties it'll be pretty close to what a dealer might be willing to sell you one for anyway....
