| speed stability Thanks to everyone fir their input. Dkarmeli: I had question about you comment regarding using electronics through a power regenerator. I originally purchased the PS Audio piece to protect the preamp, cd player, turntable, tuner, etc. I knew it di... | |
| Wood glue method of record cleaning Sounds to me like the guy on audiogon who is such a big believer in Bose 901 speakers and wants you to put some type of teflon tape for all the exposed plastic pieces sticking out of the speaker. Claims it makes them the best speakers in the world... | |
| Stand out phono stages The Einstein Turntable's Choice has been all I had expected and more. It is the only piece I have that is solid state, but the sound and construction is superb. AND, at only $5,500 new for single-ended, it is pretty competitively priced. 68 db fix... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? For me, my Audio Research VT200 is a keeper. I know there are newer products with better specs, including some from Audio Research, but as this was my first tube amp after nearly 40 years of solid state, it was an epiphany. It drives my Magnepan 3... | |

| Preamp for magepan 3.7 and Sanders amp combo I am currently using a Reference 3 that I bought from a fellow Audiogoner a year and a half ago. It sounds marvelous, especially since I went past the 300 hour barrier on the 3.7s. Things didn't really open up as soon as I thought they would but t... | |
| martin logan vs magnepan sound As a Magnepan owner I understand anything I say will sound biased BUT at one time I was considering both. To me, the difference was between a great "in theory" design compared to a "less perfect" theory but better execution situation.A planar spea... | |

| Linn LP12 vs. VPI Classic 1 and 3 Thanks for the compliment, Davey.No, I didn't hear the other Classics. My dealer said the 2 was not that much of an improvement, just a little more convenience with VTA. Supposedly the 3 was a fair amount better with the better arm and chassis upg... | |
| Good cartridge for the VPI Classic 1 turntable. I have been using the low output version of the Benz Micro Gullwing and have been very impressed as the hours have begun to add up. It is getting sweeter all the time and is very revealing, fast and interfaces well with my other components. | |
| Linn LP12 vs. VPI Classic 1 and 3 I owned a Linn LP-12 for 35 years and always said it was the ONE component I would never sell. It always sounded good to my ears but, when the Classic came out, I had to admit the time had come to make a change. With the return to a metal platter,... | |
| EAR 324 vs Einstein The Turntable Choice Well, I know the Turntable Choice is one of the very few Einstein components that ISN'T a tube unit, which is where they have earned their names. So when a company like Einstein goes the SS route, they probably understand the advantages of that te... | |
| Cardas vs. Harmonic Technology Thanks to everyone. I ordered a pair of the HT Pro 9's yesterday. My system has enough warmth already and the Pro 9's should provide the acuity and liveliness I am looking for. I do like the Cardas GR interconnects but it seems the speaker cables ... | |
| PASS and ZYX Since I have recently improved everything else in my system, I decided to take the next step in the phono area as well. I bought the Einstein Turntable's Choice which has a fixed gain of 68 db and, when paired with my ARC Ref 3 should deliver enou... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? When I read the comments about the Bose 901s, I thought it must be sarcasm. I remember being in Sound Associates in Bowling Green, Ohio in about 1974. We went there to listen to the Infinity QRS speakers with Audio Research and GAS electronics, al... |
