| Soundsmith's turnaround time? No_regrets, you will have no regret going with a line contact. It is a superior way to read the groove so it just is over an eliptical is the point(literally), that has nothing to do with the original cartridge design or tone. Cheaper stylus, less... | |
| Modernists Unite, or: saying no to room treatment 70% of the final sound will be highly dependent on room setup, speaker reaction, position etc... So that being said this does not mean all rooms will be horrible with no room treatment. However this also does not say a non-treated room will be bet... | |
| Soundsmith's turnaround time? Peter,I have to say I appreciate your time, experience, and pricing! Like I stated above(more or less in nicer words) many get caught up in these very expensive exotic carts. that ultimately many of us know they are in no way better or worse than ... | |
| Soundsmith's turnaround time? Not sure about the hang up, however truth is I call the New York number, listen to a very long winded "Welcome message" on a machine, Finally it allows you to hit "9" I believe is the #, and it connects me to live customer service everytime. No pr... | |
| Oppo vs Rega or Wadia 300 today in digital can net you what 3,000 or even 10,000 could 10 years ago. Make your choice on frivolous vs. function. | |
| Why don't any good CD players resume play? This is really only a function of "DVD" players. However ONE unit that actually holds 10 Discs in their spots at a time in memory (but is a single disc player) is a fairly hi end unit called the OPPO BDP 83. It will auto hold CD, DVD, Blu Ray, SAC... | |

| Why monoblocks? Onhwy61"But if mono designs are really that much better then why aren't all ultra high end electronics monobloc designs? Where are the monobloc phono preamps, D/A converters or preamps?"This is your quote exactly. And exactly why I said DUAL mono ... | |
| Why monoblocks? Onhwy61There are tons of Dual mono Dacs, Preamps, & amps obviously.However Dual mono does not mean they have to be in different chassis, just completely separate power supplies, transformers, and discrete components to each channel. I own a du... | |
| Best BluRay Concerts I will say one thing about the newer David Gilmore Blu Ray, yes it might capitalize on the technology in quality over the standard DVD and might be worth the extra 35 bucks to you, HOWEVER the strangest thing is that it does not operate like a blu... | |
| Best BluRay Concerts What are you listening too? I own everything from Yes to Marilyn manson! And they are all excellent, David Gilmores newest is excellent, there are many. I picked up a Jimi Hendrix woodstock which is better than the original DVD but still not as go... | |
| IPOD CLASSIC 7th Gen, Apple or WAV? Just reporting back, AIFF is perfectÂ… Yeah it takes up space, but with the new 160 gig model I cant even fill it half with nearly 200 albums. Also just for those taking notes you can with a current model computer with good CD drive get about 10 to... | |

Yep rumble filter needed....Had a phono amp, cheap variety no rumble filter, bought a little better one with rumble filter, woofers dead solid, dead silent. There is not much below 20hz on a vinyl pressing accept surface noise, so you won't lose a... | |

| help me remove noise from my vinyl setup Well there are some electrical shield devices and sticky sheets made, one comes from Percy audio I think, its fairly expensive, its a metal sheet that can be formed to fit around transformers, and the chassis panels etc...This could knock out the ... |
