| new HT receiver or preamp understand your point.... I've tried both....I can tell you for a fact that they really sing bi-amped ... To my liking/ ear they are more dynamic and image even better (which is saying something) . Horns are really incredible FYI, I am using m... | |
| Denon DP-60L vs Technics 1200 MK III Please let me know if you ever decide to sell the Denon. I have a 60L that died due to an unobtainium chip... It was by far my favorite table.... many came and went over the years, but I always kept the 60L .... I'd like to restore it.Thanks | |
| Bad vinyl sorry... also returned two copies of a Janis Joplin "Pearl" repress that had more ticks and pops than my original copy! Gave up on that one. | |
| Bad vinyl I had to return two copies of Daniel Ratcliffe's album due to very poor sound... have heard AM radios that sounded better. I swear that they weren't pressed hard enough. The MP3 sounded better which is truly sad lol | |

| recommendations of phono preamps < $3000 range Ran into a super deal on a Pass Labs XP-15 that I can take on a 10 day trial.... and within budget....I'll give it a shot... and let you know. Will continue looking at the Tron etc | |

| recommendations of phono preamps < $3000 range The Herron's start at $3650, more than I want / am willing to spend.... Let's look at: Avid, Parasound, Sutherland ...... Unless I can find a Herron or Whest used.... thoughts and experience please. | |
| recommendations of phono preamps < $3000 range Thank you all.... using a ClearAudio Talisman V2 gold cartridge, so yes loading is important. Have also heard good things about Avid.... but like Sutherland/ Whest not many US dealers | |
| recommendations of phono preamps < $3000 range want to keep the price <$3000. | |
| Thorens TD-316? I picked up a TD 318 a few months ago for my second system and have been very pleasantly surprised how good it sounds... but my expectations were realistic for a $120 vintage table. I tried an old Dynavector MC on it but like the sound of the Shur... | |
| Stylus force digital scales one word of cautionIf you are using a Clearaudio table with one of the magnetic field arms, you must make sure that the scale measuring point is at the exact same height as the record surface otherwise it could be off considerably. I use the cheap... | |
