| Records are better. I actually heard it I always thought that the smell of flea market albums was a status symbol. It means you got a killer vinyl collection for a fraction of its original cost. I like that smell. | |
| Records are better. I actually heard it You mean I'm really not crazy after all? :^)Actually, I think you are doing just fine, and let your ears be the judge. There have been alot of recommendations on this board over the months and years, and you can do a search of the archives for man... | |
| Arm for Sota Star Sapphire/ bearing vs. uni-pivot The arm and cartridge are a pair, that needs to be considered together. The arm you choose, will dictate the types of cartridges that you can use with it. You cannot just slap any cartridge onto any arm.I have always preferred gimbal-bearing arms,... | |

| System for a teenager Albert, you might take a look at the Jolida JD302B tube integrated amp. It has 50 wpc, and uses EL34 tubes which I know you like. It has a retail price of only $950, and also has a very attractive appearance. I also read an interview somewhere onl... | |
| Should reviewers post their hearing test results? I think the reviewers are publishing their hearing tests. It is evident whether they can hear or not, by the review that they write. If they give a good review of a product that we know is not so good, then we know what their hearing is like. | |

| The Best System In The World Yes, I do suspect it was an attempt to do just that. All I can say is that I applaud his effort and commitment. Perhaps his goals are different than mine. | |

| Denon/Shelter with SME 309 and Ear 834P Romy, Thorsten uses a 309 with his 103. | |
| DJ vs. Audiophiles DJ cartridges are made to take abuse. Audiophile cartridges are not. As far as the sound goes, that would be up to individual taste. I'll stick with audiophile cartridges, because I rarely engage in manually "scratching" my records back and forth! | |
| Ortofon MC Question The new Ortofons will sound even better than the old one you tried. They are nice cartridges. | |
| Krell KRC phonocard or stand alone phonoamp? If you are satisfied with your preamp, then get the card. If you are thinking of changing the preamp, then an outboard phono section may be the better choice. The EAR 834 is a nice one, and there are several others under $1k that are good too. Buy... |
