| Rudy Van Gelder: Genius or just lucky? Slipknot,His parents' NJ home, even more interesting! You are correct, the work he performed is what has turned out to be important stuff. Unfortunately, lovers of the Blue Note artists can't always have it all...good music AND primo sound quality. | |
| Rudy Van Gelder: Genius or just lucky? Foster 9, you may want to take a look at some of the XRCD discs...if you haven't already. The selection is somewhat limited, but the sound quality is much better than the OEM disc. The remasters utilizing the K2 process, which is a lower grade ver... | |
| Rudy Van Gelder: Genius or just lucky? I read somewhere that some of the early recordings were made in his NY apartment...shared it with his mother and/or grandmother, if I recall correctly. I very much prefer the LP version of the RVG recordings. What a stable of artists he was fortun... | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest Wow, you can't beat that for customer service. It's nice to see a manufacturer going to that extent to assure a customer's satisfaction. | |
| VTL ST-150 MB-450 I would take a look at the MB-185s, as they have the Signature tranny as well. On the pre-owned market, however, they are only going to run about $1K less than a pre-owned pair of MB-450s. | |
| Rega P25...upgrade or replace I'll most likely go with the Sonata. I do like the Grado sound, plus I can offset the cost a bit with my Platinum trade in. Still waiting on my Mat 1 and K2, can't wait to work them into mix...one at a time, of course. | |
| Rega P25...upgrade or replace Decided to go with a couple of small upgrades for the time being. Ordered the Boston Audio Mat 1, and the Kerry K2 Titanium H/W. | |
| VPI new Super Feet for Scout/Scoutmaster/Aries Hmmm...I wonder if they would fit on my P25? | |
| why don't tubed amps have headphone jacks? The Cary SLI-80 integrated has a very nice headphone amp. | |
| Power cable for tube output cdp JPS Labs Digital AC. Last time I checked, someone had one listed at around your budget. | |
| Rega P25...upgrade or replace Thanks, for all of the valuable input guys.Viridian, I have used the table/cartridge with phono stages from Plinius, Musical Fidelity, VTL, ARC and Classe'. Outside of the Grado, the VTL was the only one better. I have heard great things about the... | |
| 6922 Replacements for BAT VK-300x Eventually, I'll get around to touching base with BAT to get their feedback on the 85 for 88 exchange. | |
| Rega P25...upgrade or replace Mofi,I figured that most of them would make a difference, I'm just weighing the upgrade cost vs. an actual new/er table. I don't know if I want to own a $2,200 P25?!At the very least, the cartridge will need to be replaced. I've also been told tha... | |
| 6922 Replacements for BAT VK-300x Luke, are there any compatibility issues in the BAT? I don't want to end up frying something... | |
| "Budget" preamp choices. Pre-owned VTL TL2.5, will give you the beautiful mids you crave. If you like the Rega house sound, the VTL will be right up your alley. |
