| Who is a big high end cable manufacturer Thanks for the feedback. Let me add some comments. The reason I initiated the discussion is just this - 3 manufacturers of most cable. 1,000's of different flavors - Baskin Robbins has a long way to go!! Impossible to listen to all. Just the manag... | |
| How to Level Eminent Technology Arm Thanks for the input. I understand now. Let me try it. As always, someone on Audiogon knows!!!! | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 I am a bit suspicious of TRL. I asked if they could mod my Sony unit a few months back they said yes that the could mod the single disk SCD-C555ES. They did not know that it is a changer!! I told them and they said 'Yes, we can mod anything". When... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 Howie, Are you saying that say a mod like SACDmods or Tube Research to my SCD-C555ES will take me very close to the Marantz level? Remember this is $ 600 to $ 700. versus selling it for $ 500 and buying a new Marantz SACD player. I guess spending ... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 Thanks everyone. Very much appreciate people jumping in. Message seems consistent from those that have the player that it is a top notch one. I am sure it beats my Sony SCD-C555ES "as is" and after the potential Mods. It is still a 2001 player and... | |
| Buy Oracle Turntables I had the opposite experience with Oracle Audio. I purchased a turntable - Oracle Delphi. Did not use the turntable until five years after purchase. Turntable was DOA. They did not offer any warranty at all. Said that I would need to send back the... | |
| Speakers along short or long wall Thanks for the input. You are confirming my thinking. I used to have them at the end of the room 6 feet from the wall with windows. 8 feet apart, but the listening position was about 15 feet away. Everyone told me put the speakers along the short ... | |
| Origin DC Motor in LP12: Marketing or reality? I have now had the Oracle turntable with the Origin Live motor for about one month.Biggest issue so far. Motor noise. Very noisy compared to my old Oracle motor and my AR Turntable. | |
| Radio Shack Sould Level Meter - Analog Meter Sorry for the wrong part number. I am still not sure which one to buy. My local Radio Shack has both the old and the new. I am not familiar with SMD to tell whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Also until Rives tests the new one, we will not... | |

| Which Tonearm to go for VPI HW-19 III? I hear that the Eminent Technology arm is a great fit. I have the ET2 arm on another table and believe it is the best turntable to support this arm.I strongly suggest you investigate this option. | |
| Origin DC Motor in LP12: Marketing or reality? I have now had the turntable two weekends. Sorry to say, but this table was not working properly for a long time and sat in my basement. It is not going to compare before and after new motor. What I can say is that this table playing "Back to the ... | |
| Why is the trend to make separate phono stage Thanks for the responses so far. Let me give you some background to why I think this is an important issue. I believe (right or wrong) that the phono section is the hardest part to get right in a preamp. I am also a strong believer that analog is ... | |
| Origin DC Motor in LP12: Marketing or reality? So now I have the turntable. Running nicely. A little more noisy than the original Oracle motor. However, don't hear it when playing a record.Much more torque. The platter does not slow down at all when you use a recod brush.Seems completely stabl... | |
| Origin DC Motor in LP12: Marketing or reality? I just had one installed on my Oracle Delphi turntable. I will pick it up tomorrow. The person that installed it on the Oracle expressed that he felt it was low in torque compared to other original motors on Mapleknoll and Sota. I purchased mine f... |
