kuzma stogi
I had a Kuzma Stogi Reference arm for about 5 years and the Shelter cartridges are an excellent match with the Kuzma arms. I have since got a Schroeder Reference which does better it but IMHO the Kuzma is a very good arm for the money. 
Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2005
I am sure that there will be alot of analog as most of the rooms last year were spinning vinyl. There are sure to be several Teres and Galibier tables running. I have heard that Loyd Walker will be there with his analog gear in the Redrock Audio r... 
Schroeder Model - 2
You may want to check out Galibier Design's website. There is alot of Schroeder information on it. You can contact Thom Mackris with Galibier and get his thoughts on the comparison as he has had the Graham 2.2 and is a Schroeder dealer. 
Looking for phono stage recommendations
I am using the setup that Flyingred has suggested, the Hagerman Trumpet and Bent Audio stepups. This is a great sounding setup. Sirspeedy is right as using NOS tubes on the Trumpet elevated the performance to an even higher level. The Bent audio s... 
ZYX Airy 3 vs 90X
Lugnut, thanks for your input. The Zyx cartridges seem to have alot of options. I spoke with Mehran and he suggested to me the combination of options that you have. Good to hear that you do not feel it is a very forward sounding cartridge. 
ZYX Airy 3 vs 90X
Wrp, thanks for the detailed response to my question. That was great that you had an opportunity to compare the cartidges in your system. Your description helps me in trying to understand the differences. I have been leaning towards the 90X as I h... 
The Schroeder has arrived
Doug that was a great observation. We should all pay our respects to Vinyl-dom on a regular basis. 
The Schroeder has arrived
I have the 9" Jacaranda arm. The turntable I am using is an early Redpoint Testa Rosa. I purchased this from Thom when he and Peter had developed Redpoint. I have one their earlier aluminum platters with the teflon top. The Galibier and Redpoint t... 
The Schroeder has arrived
In my case lengthy was 7 months. Apparently Frank had some issues with Incognito, his termination source which relocated from Europe to Canada during the time my arm was ready for termination. This just added to what was already a rather long lead... 
$6-7k to Spend on Turntable
You may also want to look at a Galibier Quatro table. These are very well made tables that sound and look great. You may want to check out their website which is very informative. www.galibierdesigns.com 
Anyone heard Audio Magic Illusion 4D Speaker cable
I have not heard the Illusion 4D but have recently purchased the Clairvoyant 4D interconnects and they are very good. Audio Magic makes only silver cables and they seem to really know how to do them right. 
Kubala-Sosna & Meitner Emm Labs Gets my top Vote
Shasta, I agree with your observation regarding the website. I have interest in learning more about these cables myself but do not see much usefull info on their website. They should at least give you some pricing information. 
Tally up best preamplifier ever
I have recently had a Hovland HP100 and Lamm LL2 in my system. I felt the LL2 bettered the HP100 but I recently upgraded to the Lamm L2 and it seems to be better than the HP100 or LL2 in every way. I really think system matching is the key but I h... 
Here we go again...Silver vs. Copper on P/C 's
Mechans, you may want to try Audio Magic. They make only silver cables and are very good. 
Name some full range speakers.
You may want to look at the Reimer Tetons as they go down to 16hz and have very controlled bass. They also have front firing ports and are relatively easy place for large speakers.
