Looking to get TT

I see the Emperor still hasn't much to wear....

Psych, You have responded to THE WRONG post I thought it was obvious even to you, however I will now clarify this matter for you.
These are the Ridiculous statements made on 05-29-03:

Hint: my creature on steroids is neutral sounding...

********************

OK, some clarifications:

1) I have learned that phono stage is more important than TT. My next step is to send my phono preamp's outboard power supply to cryo treatment.

2) Digital doesn't sound that great because most people have mediocre power delivery/noise control measures. I have conquered noise in my system and digital is really something to be enjoyed. Analog is not superior in all respects. My goal is to keep analog and digital in balance...

3) Use digital as your reference for PRAT. Otherwise, you'll be prone to fall for a "magic" sound that has nothing to do with reality, especially with some moving coil designs. I find my modded Groovemaster MM cartridge more musically accurate than my Ortofon X5 MC.

4) My choice of TT is being marketed not to audiophiles, but to libraries and radio stations as a *transcription* TT. It is an accurate tool, not a spatial enhancer...

But I do agree with this statement.
Viridian, you are totally accurate by stating that my "opinions offer a genuinely different hierarchy on what is of sonic,importance. Psychicanimal

If your opinions are different from what is sonicly, important. Why do you make them here as if they have some sonic importance?

After reading all of the above statements one can only conclude that you have never lived with a revealing Analog front-end, or you would not have these opinions.

Psych I am glad you listen to lp's, this is a good thing.
Now for the important question, how many Vertigo swirls do you have, and do you want to sell any.
Thanks
Ron

I finally read what you meant. You need to prove me wrong. Just pasting what I posted and declaring it ridiculous doesn't cut it. I can advance that I learned #1 from Dejan V. Veselinovic, one of Europe's most knowledgeable audio writers http://www.zero-distortion.com.

Question: "If your opinions are different from what is sonicly, important. Why do you make them here as if they have some sonic importance?"

What is different, in Viridian's words (and I totally agree) is the *hierarchy* of what is important, not whether something is important or not. Pecking order, in nautical English.

Define revealling, please. Also, it is proper to use the first person, please ( "I"...can only conclude).

The person who started me on high end is a friend of our family and he always taught me (since I was 15) that what was important in a high end system was "resolution". As I learned more and more I found out that statement was erroneous. A high end system should be *musical*. Now I'm 40 and my system must be clean, musical and intimate (that's why the list price of my noise control rig is more than that of my audio gear--about $8K). This man always drooled cause I was "connected" to the music world and ALWAYS had the kick ass LPs. His Sota vacuum TT and flavor of the month arm and low output MC could pick up defects in my pressings, and that what he was actively listening for (he had downgraded from a Technics SP10, BTW). My cousin told me last year that he finally admitted to him he'd spent all these past 40 years listening to equipment. If he heard my rig he'd have a heart attack! When I took my little, $315/pr Yamaha NS-10M Studio and squared them against his $6K B&W 801's he almost had a heart attack! Oh, Mr. Klyne and Krell were doing the pre amp & power stages...and $100 a foot speaker wire feeding the juice.

I do not understand what you mean.

If TWL agrees, I will take the creature on steroids on a road trip to Appalachia sometime next fall. How about that?

Cool, I really like the Idea of you and Tom Getting together Franscisco, to settle this once and for all.

Tom you need to respond to this thread, I know you are reading this with glee.

I had to write that post 3 times to get it to the point it was kind and not bashing you.
So I will not try to prove you wrong, and start a pissing match.

About the first person thing, I believe that most anyone would come to the same conclusion, so I said what I meant.

The term "Revealing" was used to be polite as part of my gentler third revision.

About Vertigo swirls, I am surprised you do not understand. You stated you always had all the kick ass LP"s.
