Which turntable should I buy?
In my opinion, if you want speed and dynamics, then you should seriously consider an unsuspended turntable in your price range, and use a rigid high-mass stand.Select your arm with the cartridge in mind, that you plan to get. The arm and cartridge... 
Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor?
I build acoustic guitars in a custom shop with a friend of mine. We build guitars based primarily on the Martin pattern, with some custom changes.You can get nearly any sound you want, depending upon how you create the guitar, by choosing tonewood... 
Super Scoutmaster or Teres?
I never compared the Scoutmaster to the Teres.However, in other listening tests available here in the Audiogon archives, and on AA, the Teres mid-line models compared favorably over the higher-line VPI models such as the TNT5.Thus, I suspect that ... 
RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
I tried some of the Vinyl Solutions record cleaing fluids the other day, and they worked very well, and were easy to use. I liked them. 
What speakers for 300B S.E.T ??
For those of you who were contemplating the Voigt Pipe systems, I have just received a digital photo from a friend, KK, who made a set last week, with my mods on them.He loves them. They look very nice, and really look just like mine.Here's a link... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Glad you've found nirvana.Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.Maybe someday, you'll hear the Sistrum, and understand why I said what I did. 
Cartridge rebuilds, whats your opinion?
FYI, I've worked as the analog set-up guy at audio salons, and have sent many cartridges in for rebuilding, including Koetsu. The rebuilds from other companies, while they may work well, do not use the same items or exact methods that Koetsu does,... 
Cartridge rebuilds, whats your opinion?
Raul, you are quite liberal in your accusations of who has "live experience" with things.Personally, I've had enough of your inexpert opinions.I've also had quite enough of your haughty, arrogant attitudes.You've already proven yourself to be seve... 
Quit vinyl?
Well, if you are not using the TT, then obviously either you don't think the sound quality improvement is significant, or you feel the convenience of digital is more important.In any case, if you don't use it, then you are not getting use from you... 
Cartridge rebuilds, whats your opinion?
If it is not rebuilt by Koetsu, it's no longer a Koetsu. 
Must pull trigger-- quick arm help please
I'd pick the modded 250.Read the info on the OL website, on the 250 vs the 300, and how they each respond to mods. 
Please help, distorted and hissy treble
I agree with Newbee.Get a protractor. 
Merlin Z-feet
We provide Audiopoints to Merlin owners all the time, and their responses are uniformly positive.I guess some people just like the Audiopoints better. 
Rocky return to vinyl
Sounds to me like everything was fine, until you switched to your current tube gear. Perhaps you don't have the phono stage settings at the correct setting.Or, perhaps there are some tubes going bad in the phono section, that would not affect the ... 
Meitner DCC2 vs. Analog - Opinions Please
I am familiar with a situation of a person I know who has the newest Meitner stuff, and also a Teres 265 TT with an OL Illustrious tonearm, and Shelter 901 cartridge. The entire analog rig was approximately $7900, all brand new. The Meitner gear c...
