| Miracord 50H Turntable It is a low end table but there are worse ones out there. It could be a good start to get into vinyl. The problem with the low end tables is that they have loose bearings and don't retrieve the information as well as they should and the cartridge ... | |
| TIME TO REPLACE THE XTZ Gumby, hi. The 707 would like a medium to high compliance cartridge. The lower compliance ones will be too much for the bearings of the ol' Grace. I think the Dynavector mentioned above might be good if you like the Dynavector Sound. The Goldrings... | |
| What group do you wish would be remastered? Rwwear, I also have a copy of "In a Glass House" with the see-thru panel on the cover. I used to have it on vinyl too. It is a great album. Very progressive. It is my favorite of all Gentle Giant albums. | |
| DG Recordings I feel the DG recordings suffer from poor miking technique. When I listen to a classical record, I want to hear the instruments located in the correct places on the stage. If the tympanies sound like they are in front of the violins, that doesn't ... | |
| New Digital Format Copy Protection on Digital Out. Just looking for some crystalball gazing by members to see what they think. If the digital out was available, some DAC makers might make some outbeard gear to go with the new transports. | |
| Recommendations for satellite/hanging spkrs C37 has a small ball shaped satellite that has a fullrange driver in it. Could be hung, I guess, it is pretty small. | |
| Great find at the "Big Lot's" Been there. Got 15 classical CD's for $26. Mostly Deutsche Grammophon. The rest German import. Great buy! | |
| What about Bybee Filters? Sns, I'm sorry to hear that you had trouble with the Bybees. I've heard these accounts from others, but I did not experience the same result. Mine work great. My system is ultra revealing. It consists of a Sony DVP-S9000ES SACD/CD player direct in... | |
| What about Bybee Filters? I just tried out a pair of Bybee Quantum Power Speaker Filters that were sent to me by a wonderful member for my evaluation. I just received them and hooked them up today. I spent the next 3 hours listening to music. These things work! My initial ... | |
| Suspended vs. nonsuspended TT? I find the direction this thread is going,to be ridiculous. How can anyone compare a $300-$600 Rega to these Rockports, Clearaudios,TNT's, etc? The Rega is a very good table in it's price category. They are not competition to Rockport or TNT in an... | |
| Battery Power for Audio System Greg, the typical solar panel now provides about 13%-15% efficiency levels. The prisms, reflectors and such have all been tested for years now. The problem is the solar cell encapsulation materials can't handle the added heat of the additional ref... | |
| Getting started on vinly - new/used setup for 500 There is an ad right now here on Agon that lists a Connoiseur BD102 turtable with arm for $145 obo. This is a good British entry level belt drive AC motor turntable. We used to sell them as the basic TT in our high end shop. Not as good as Rega, b... | |

| Getting started on vinly - new/used setup for 500 You might be able to find an Ariston RD-11S at around 500 used. May times they had a Grace 707 or a Linn Basik tonearm put on them. They are similar to a Linn table and sound almost as good. They are a suspension table and need to be set up, but i... | |
| Burning in my Sony DVP-S9000ES -- best approach Gheon, I have over 500 hours on mine in CD and it sounds unbelieveable now. I am at about 150 hours on SACD and it still isn't broken in yet on that laser. I don't have as many SACD's so it gets kind of old listening to the same ones over and over... |
