best turntable under $5k
I need to make it very clear that the Hagerman Trumpet, along with the Artemis PH-1/PL-1 are the two best commercial phono stages I've heard to date. The differences between the two are ones of system matching and such.Because Jim sells his gear d... 
Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2005
Hi Steve,The first day (Friday) is great for schmoozing. The systems are still settling in, and good listening is the exception as people re-evaluate and fine tune their setups. Toward the end of the day, you'll hear some good sound. Take advantag... 
Zyx R1000 Airy3 vs Universe
To Sirspeedy ...If you get to the RMAF, forget any thoughts of a vicious loop on any of your topspin shots. At 5,000 feet, the ball flies out of control :-((OTOH, the high country is gorgeous at the end of September / early October - different fro...

Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2005
There's going to be a boatload of great analog at the show. Last year, the weather was so darned good, and with it being the first year of the show, the local turnout was light. Between not getting the word out and the nice weather, people took to...

Exemplar , Are they they still in Buisness?

Two Tonearm Turntable: Need Suggestions
Hi all,Every time I give this topic some thought, I come to the same conclusion as Flyingred has.The heck with my 'tables for playing 78's. Sure I can do it. It's a simple matter of having two batteries in series so that I can nudge the voltage pa...

Tonearm / Catridge matching?
Hi Michael,No, you are not missing anything. Bear in mind when you add weight in the form of a shim between cartridge and headshell, you are changing the material interface - sometimes for the better ... other times for the worse. To try to isolat... 
Schroeder arms: order of merit?
Gosh, I'm not quite sure where to start ... let's consolidate:1. To Gmorris:I'd love to know how you can consider my comments in my original post June24th on to be "patronizing if not condescending" (as you stated on 06-30).From that June 24th pos... 
Schroeder arms: order of merit?
Floating your Speedy Boat ... Hi Speedy,I could have been a bit more clear in my description of my year long experience with the 2.2. My take on Bob and his tonearms is that: (1) Bob Graham is a very gifted engineer (2) He has an aesthetic vision ... 
Schroeder arms: order of merit?
Doug pretty much hits the nail on the head with his description.My take on Graham tonearms (extensive experience with both the 2.2 ceramic & the Robin), is that they are an expression of a different musical sensibility than either the Triplana...
