| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please I looked at your system photos…. wow… sublime… I have the smaller TAD ME and a JL sub on the way. With the care / thought you have put in… a measured pursuit is a good idea. | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Bruce at Stereo Unlimited has a few Denon and other DD / belt tables… normally about 20 used IF you fancy a drive to San Diego. I am in Carlsbad Winters. | |

| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" My reference recordings are of acoustic instruments in reverberant space… mostly churches… The first distortion is… microphone selection… Not every reverberant space created equal… indeed listening seat… Room treatment for speakers is a scienc... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please I sold Denon in the heyday… not much sonic difference between the 75 and 80 but w best arms and carts, the 80 is better. You can look at my reference system and see 2x DP-75. The factory plinth can be improved of course, especially w better isolat... | |

| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? High milage tires on a Porsche turbo…. now, that is a hilarious suggestion…. i went thru a set of rears every 4 K miles…makes a moving coil seem absolutely frugal….. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? @lewm I left out the 17D3 which as you know is not really rebuildable… i use that on religious holidays… @grislybutter might not be polyamorous but he has a low hour Signet TK-9… imo a formidable vintage cart. As an aside… Signet ( the high end ... | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers My thoughts are the op displays quite a bit of wisdom and discernment about relative merits. Sure Andrew is fantastic but there is no monopoly of engineering talent w ears. i agree 6 months is a good milestone to understand the inchstone nuances o... | |
| At the top of the line is it really all that different? IF someone hasn’t already asked.. or suggested….why isn’t your dog spending more time with you in your dedicated room ?…. | |
