Tonearms for new Linn LP 12
Davt, actually I am a customer of Rick's. I didn't realize he had one set up. I need to get over there and listen. You are right Rick is the TT guru. I am in the same train of thought you are. It is a cheaper way to get into a LP12, but I am wonde... 
Tonearms for new Linn LP 12
RaulUltimately I would love an Arro but am concerned buying new. With the fine point of the uni-pivot I would be afraid to buy one receive it and find it damaged. Maybe I should save and by pass the Ekos and get the Aro later. I agree it is the be... 
McIntosh or BAT amps what is your preference
Mark, at the time I was considering the BAT due to a A/B comparison at a dealer between the MC501's vs a Bat amp (forget the model number..old age). I too have the MC352 running the front with a MX135. I love the sound but you know the quest for t... 
What would u like on sacd?
The rest of Pink Floyd's Catalog, Yes, Moody Blues, Dire Straits, Renaissance, Johnny Clegg, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Who, Icehouse, just to name a few...I realize some are on DVD-A but I prefer SACD. 
Michell techno or Origin live weight
Never tried the Origin but I have the Techno on my RB600 and what difference. Of all the tweaks I have done to the P25 this made the biggest difference. Bass extension is much tighter. It made the most sense to me of all the post production counte... 
SACD is it worth it?
I agree with Rec, the SACD sounds much better and I have gotten to enjoy the Multi-Channel feature very much. I find that on old recordings I am hearing so much more of the instruments and backing vocals when played through 5 speakers than I reali... 
Liquid CD treatments?
Another vote for Shine Ola. I have a new complete Auric Illuminator kit if anyone wants to save a little money. 
Plasma owners any problems??
I see that Hitachi is offering a plasma and calling it "1080p II" but the resolution is only 1024 x 1024. I would think that that is just 1080i. I haven't gotten a chance to compare it yet but the real claim to fame for this unit is reduced screen... 
In wall speaker suggestions
The best I have heard is the Linn Sekrets. They aren'r cheap but that is why they sound so good. 
Plasma owners any problems??
Thanks for the input. All positive to boot. I guess I had better take the plunge. Waiting till T Day when they usually have the best sales.Again thanks. 
Just bought a nitty gritty, hear no difference.
I had the NG 1.1 and I used to use a Sound GUard mat to scrub the record on before the vacuum stage. I found that the Sound Guard mat held the record in place and allowed me to really bear down with the brush to lossen all that would come off. I d... 
Why so many "newer" Mac's for sale?
Gotta agree with Jeff and Genesis. I think people are never happy, me included. We just wan to keep seaching for that "Holy Grail" even when we holding it. The rise in McIntosh is probably indicative of higher McIntosh sales overall. They have rea... 
I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell
First thought in my mind is, why are you asking us? We don't know your market. What is your competition selling?Sell something different to avoid price wars.What price range will your client base be willing to pay?Don't sell to high-end or they wi... 
Denon Service... Yeah or Nay?
Rws1950 was that a warranty claim? 
Denon Service... Yeah or Nay?
Thanks for the input. It seems as though they do not offer any real customer assistance. After owning McIntosh and Marantz I am used to being able to get answer. I only can remember one other manufacturer that I had trouble with and that was Naim....
