| $2k for new Cartridge Benz LP or...... The Benz LP is somewhat of a departure from the rest of the Benz line. I've heard people who say that don't like the "Benz sound" also state that they really like the Benz LP. It is an excellent cartridge. I am not sure if you can get more for you... | |
| Best 845 amp? Forgot to mention that the Viva amp is one powerful unit. Some people use them to drive very difficult loads such as Sound Labs. | |
| Best 845 amp? I was mesmerized by the Viva Verona 845 based amp used with my Avantgardes, along with their very fine phono stage and preamp. The sonic performance achieved prior to this was fantastic in many ways. But with the Viva inserted, the overall perform... | |
| HELP, Pls - re Automatic Turntables, Vintage/New Speaking of auto 'tables. My dad has a Markel turntable that plays both sides of an LP automatically, without flipping over the LP. It can stack up to 6 records enabling listening to 12 sides without leaving your chair. Get one of these and you ca... | |
| Amp advice for Avantegarde HELP Forgot to mention per the Art Audio PX-25s. They are available either with a low voltage input or the std input. For your AGs, you want the low voltage input option. | |
| Amp advice for Avantegarde HELP The cost for a used Art Audio PX-25 should be within the ball park. The s/n ratio, the quietness is astounding, as is the fidelity. Rumored to be Art Audio's finest amp. The quietest amp I've ever hear. Perfect on my Duos. With this amp, you can h... | |

Please note that I did not list any quasi-rankings but pointed out that Mr. Teres is a direct competitor to Ba... | |
| Basis Vector 3 vs. Schröder, Triplanar, Graham The entries in this thread by Teres and Cello caught my curiosity. Knocking the Basis Vector as they did contradicts both the results of many users and the stellar praise stated in a significant number of threads on various bulletin boards. By exa... | |
| suspension vs non-suspension design Hi. Interesting thread. Per the comment, that "setup of a non-suspended model will usually be a lot easier". I can only speak about the 4 Basis turntables & one VPI turntable that Ive owned and there is nothing, nada, difficult or time consum... | |
| Room Tunes Still in Biz? Thx Wellfed. Interesting article. The link within the article to Room Tunes website does not work. Thus I am wondering if they are still in biz. | |
| When using VPI 16.5 - how do you I have tried many of the other fluids and like the Art du Son a lot. The cost for Art du Son is quite reasonable. It is sold as a concentrate that the user mixes with water. Cost as I recall was $45 for a quantity that makes 1 gallon of cleaner. I... | |
| Myth: low-power high-efficiency Hey Scott. I have a speaker rated at 103 db. At least based on experience with my system, a high powered amp was not required to achieve the dynamic energy you refer to. Ive gone from a high powered amp to a small SET amp. The first amp I used ... | |

| amp and pre for Soundlab M-1's Hey Brian. Sure I agree that in the real world, just as I learned in engineering school, that "power and dB are related logarithmically". But...in our audio world, an amplifier's power specification is derived from standardized tests that in many ... |
