| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Following up on my recent response my wife asked me today if my CD player was new. In fact, it's several years old and over a year ago she asked the same question.But why should I be surprised? I had surgey last week (for real!) and she barely not... | |
| Rega RP6 VTA issue Analog has always been more ritual intensive. Setting the VTA should be a one time thing once the cartridge is installed and the spacers are a good solution because it addresses Rega's over-riding concern about rigidity.On the other hand, if you h... | |
| Source Components, Genuinely Need Your Assistance This one is easy- garbage in garbage out. A high fidelity system by definition is a faithful to the original system. Realize that many recordings are mastered wit the sort of typical playback system in mind. That's why something can sound pretty g... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase In years past I would install new (or new to me gear) when no one would see new gear bring put on the rack. I would be amused that invariably it would takes even as long as a year for my spouse to notice the new piece, by which time I easily said,... | |
| 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... | |

| What is Musicality? If it involves me it's musical. | |
| 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 ... | |

| How much does your system retail for? As far as my wife knows, maybe $1,500 tops. | |
| 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... |
