| New $35K pivoting tonearm Picking up on Isochronism's point, I enjoy watches, and am thoroughly disgusted with much of the new market. I don't understand a $5,000 watch in a stainless steel case using a common ETA movement. I would much rather have a vintage Omega or IWC w... | |
| Once again, recuperating from surgery "Does it matter that people we do not know and will never meet think kindly of us in difficult times? I hope it does, and I hope you are, or will soon become, well and happy and that you have people around you who care about you."It matters- it ma... | |
| Once again, recuperating from surgery Well I didn't put on Kind of Blue until my 2nd day home. What was I thinking? That anesthesia fog must have been more profound than I initially realized. By the way took perc late Friday. Worked very well indeed and have been feeling pretty good s... | |
| Once again, recuperating from surgery Thank you all- Lot more music spun on the TT and CD since yesterday. All of it good! | |

| Survey-What is your most used source? Depends- If I just want music, any music, tunerIf I've just come home from surgery (which I did yesterday), that's LP time.If I'm feeling like I don't want to flip LP sides (especially on my 45's) I'll go for CDCertainly, though, there's a lot of ... | |

| Phono stage good for classical and jazz? I can endorse a Pass phono stage on any type of music. I would be very cautious on any phono stage that only sounds good on limited ranges of music.I have never heard the Liberty but I have personally dealt with the head of the company and think h... | |
| Is a tube phono better than ss? "Also a factor is whether the solid state is Class A circuit design"I seem to recall all SS phono stages and SS Pre-amp circuits run in class A, so I don't think that's it.I've had tubed and solid state gear. My tubed stuff was CJ Premier and Rogu... | |
| Back to TT after 24 years The RB300 has an integrated cable which is evident just by looking at it. I would suggest replacing the belt and check to make sure the bearing has oil in it. I would also make sure the nut holding the arm and bearing is tight. The K9 was a decent... | |
| Personal Tuner Evolution have not had many tuners. I had an Onkyo 9090II(super sensitive, OK sound); Dynaco FM3 (old fashioned sounding), and a Magnum Dynalab MD100 (purchased in 2001) which I upgraded to an MD105 (2012). I also has a Mac MR67 in my home for a few days bu... | |
| Meridian 508.24 Service I will tell you different. I owned a 508.24 which was a great player in its day, but digital circa 2014 is better. For what the 508.24 cost new ($4000) you can buy a whale of an incredible player. I now own a Simaudio CD player which in my system ... | |
