Goldmund Studio-still one of the best?
I live in Europe and know these TT's.The Problem with the Goldmund is, that Goldmund is no longer in Analog Business. Some replacement parts for the T3F are no longer available. And when you are not able to align the arm and table properly, there ... 
Pass Labs amplifiers...
Personally I am not that mad about SS, but I use Pass Aleph 0 monos with my Horn speakers and when they do something wrong, plese tell me, never found something...I am very impressed from that design, they are crystal clear, not dead analytical li... 
Altis Centauri Transport?
I was seriously interested in his products, but before I could made a final decision I got the sad news...Anyway, I heard his Centauri Transport is a fantastic unit, specially with his DAC. 
VPI HR-X vs SME 20
Before I bought my Basis TT, I checked lots of other Designs and beside the sound quality, my other priority was the built quality and how reliable they are.I did like the SME TT, it was one in my top list beside Basis Ovation or Debut and Simon Y... 
Which Lyra Helicon?
Every low output MC is better than it's higher ' brother '.Here it is the same.But when you don't have a real good phono stage, I think, you will have more satisfaction with the high output Helikon.Lyra systems are recommended with a MC 47K load, ... 
Questions about a new Ruby 2 cartridge
I did try it again with different settings and it was always the same: down from 47 k, it will be becoming slower and slower, more dull and lifeless.But there is another point:When the gain is set too high for your cartridge, you over-drive the am... 
DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole
It was a waste of time 10 years ago, believing in good digital sound, it is today and in my opinion it will be the same in the year 2525 ......Why ?The marketing power makes all manufacturers and dealers live and that's the point. Who cares about ... 
LP 12 Owners-If you were going to buy a new TT ...
Go for a Well Tempered Super.Excellent sounding, great arm, completely adjustable while playing ( VTA, azimuth ) and the set up never changes until you do.A excellent product, so much better than a LP 12 ..... 
Upgrade LP 12 or...
One of the big problems with the Lp 12 is it's set up, most dealer's said, they are specialists, but based to my experience, leaving their shop, and the player wasn't the same.The best upgrades for this one, are in my opinion, from Naim, specially... 
NAIM Alternatives-from people who have switched.
When I sold my Well Tempered Record Player, the customer came for pick up, he didn't leave my living room for five hours, booked a hotel for overnight and returned the next day. He told me, he never heard anything like this, he couldn't sleep, it ... 
New Scout & MH MM-7 or old Linn Sondek. ?????
At that time owned a cheap Roksan with a Tabriz Zi and a Chorus Black, a Michell Gyro with a Rega and later one of the normal Well Tempered's .....Most bought used, each one of these sounded much more real and balanced, and the Dynamic Range was s... 
New Scout & MH MM-7 or old Linn Sondek. ?????
I knew that something like this was coming, and I don't care.I think, it is more important to know what is going on, and personally I think, it is more silly to invest in crap than in things, which work. Some designs are better than others, indepe... 
Expensive vinyl rig - still not performing ;-
Not every Analog combination has to sound better than a CD Player, maybe it is ok and your CD is better.Another point is, does your phono preamp has the right setting for the Shelter ? 
New Scout & MH MM-7 or old Linn Sondek. ?????
Hm, interesting answers.Personally, from my own experience the last 10 years, I never had the 'luck' to listen to a good sounding LP12.Well, maybe the two above me have absolutely no idea about a good sounding turntable ot they have found the wond... 
Isolation Passive/Active???
Albert is right.There are only a few serious designs out there and vibraplane is without among the top.I saw rack, well, they use glass shelfs. From my experience, that is really problematic from resonance, it looks good from optics, but the resul...
