My Journey to Digital Nirvana Part 1
“Farther” is a lot closer to nirvana than “further.” 8>( 
My Journey to Digital Nirvana Part 1
711, thank you for your candid reportage. Congratulations on your bliss...for now, that is, because you know you’re going to be tempted farther down the road as your “nirvana” is stretched.Could you share with us what types of music you listen to ... 
Hi Fi burnout.
Sorry, I need more than just the music.If personal finances are a problem, then indeed wise spending is in order. However, if you have the money and are going to blow it on something anyway, it might as well be your audio system.Those that have ex... 
SACD versus Vinyl LPs
DSOTM (or “ The White Album~ light”) is a dynamite SACD, even through 2-ch. Although the new 180gm LP reissue is a hair better as far as the realism of the instruments, the SACD is not that far behind. On some tracks, I preferred the SACD’s ambian... 
SACD versus Vinyl LPs
The magic words are: “well-made LP.” (Well, also “patience,” for finding that “well-made LP.”) 
VPI turntable again......
The first time I’ve ever read of a Verdier owner using the phrase, “the one with the magnet,” when referring to “La Platine.”Huh! 
VPI turntable again......
I did find that on my TNT Mk. 5, not using a flywheel was better. I can’t quite express the difference since it was subtle but, the sound in general was more realistic.I have never heard the motor on my TT make noises or heard it through the speak... 
Scoutmaster to Super Scoutmaster?
Slipknot,What were the most audible performance differences beween the Walker and the SDS in your opinion?Thank you. 
Super Scoutmaster or Teres?
(English is my second language.)My sarcasm was directed more at the lack of sensitivity (read: stupidity) displayed in the above VPI bash. 
Super Scoutmaster or Teres?
...or lack of! 
Sorry - a couple more newbie analog questions
I agree with the previous post that picking up from a moving table is “an accident waiting to happen” as well as the issue of static build up.Concerning your distortion issue: what phono pre are you using and is it set up correctly for your cartri... 
EMM Lab CDSD transport motor resonating
(Camelot has sprung a leak.)Sorry about your troubles but for that wad of money you spent, you should send it to be fixed immediately since it’ll probably get worse. The company should put you at the front of the line, backlog or no backlog. Consi... 
B&W Nuatilus
In other words, they are going to try to make them sound (again) like the pre-Nautilus (Matrix) ones! :>)The Matrix 801 or 802 Series 3, with the right power amps, remain one of the most extraordinary speakers for classical music.Best regards,S... 
Moving from Magnepan MGIIIA to 3.6
Let's hope Maggie the Pup doesn't do a Maggie the Pee or Maggie the Poop near or on your Maggies!Congratulations on your 3.6Rs (a speaker that has always pleased me when I've heard them in a friend’s system)...and the understanding spouse. Well, t... 
sacd,vinyl, and rebook....
SACD is like vinyl in that both discs are round.SACD is a marginal improvement, sometimes, not all the time.About smoke and mirrors, I don't know. But another gimmick to get a collector to buy their 15th copy of “Reiner Conducts Bartók,” yes.Then ...
