| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? Wait a minute, I tap my feet to music in an elevator. | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? You know, the two possible combos you mention should be very close in performance, the vinyl setup looks really interesting and I would love to hear how they pair togeather, the digital setup is one I own and love that combo in my headphone rig wi... | |
| 6x4 rectifier question I would say yes, as mentioned above the rectifier tube is where I normally get the biggest upgrade. I own a Lamm LL2.1 Deluxe, haven't swapped out the rectifier in it as of yet as there didn't seem to be a lot to choose from but did change out the... | |
| Quicksilver audio silver 88 mono amps Good for you and enjoy them. | |
| phono/preamp analog front end @atmasphere , with your statement above, I feel much better about my Allnic H1500se phono stage which I always felt was the best phono stage I have ever had in my system and it has no provisions for adjusting the load, I always wondered why. I que... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? MD 20 20? Only if your out of Orange Rock | |
| Phono Cartridge for $1,000. That new ART9 looks interesting with it's .2mv output, every cart I have ever been able to try that offers different outputs, I have always favored the lower output version, such as the Dynavector 20 series, LYRA Helikon SL, plus the threaded body... | |
| Dust to dust. Ashes to vinyl. Cool, but like the grandfather that had to be swept off the deck of the boat, I could see myself winding up in the $ bin at the local used book store. Enjoy the music | |

| Quicksilver audio silver 88 mono amps No experience with the 88s, but found myself in a similar situation with a pair of VTL MB125s that I was going to have rebuilt by the manufacturer. Bought a new pair of QS M120s on Audiogon from the original buyer who due to a death in his family ... | |
| Installing A Well Tempered Reference Tone Arm Isn't it great when you can sit back and enjoy something after a job well done? Job well done. Enjoy the music | |
| Seasoning your sound with powercords @b_limo , "Speechless is a good stance to keep." Thank you for making my day. Enjoy the music | |
| Best 6SN7 TUBES out there The recommendation of the Shuguang WE6SN7Plus tubes is an excellent choice, just installed a new pair in a Dragon Inspire headphone/preamp and with 60 hours on them, I have moved on to other things. Enjoy the music | |
| I finally get it! @slaw , that is very good to hear, that good results can be had with the noted discrepancy in the pivot to spindle distance not being as advertised. The issues with both my tables is that the stated spindle to pivot distance is one mm short. Was w... | |
| I finally get it! Just curious to the swapping to an Origin Live arm or any other arm addresses the pivot to spindle distance being off, would you not have to have that correct before you install any arm? I personally do not have an issue with the VPI unipivots and... |
