| Your experience as Yamamoto owner? I just saw this thread. I have the A-011, from Brian at Venus Hi Fi. I've contacted Yamamoto directly several times. They have always been very responsive. I use this with Shindo preamp and Devore O/93. I think it's a nice combo. I'm plannin... | |
| Need recommendation on mono cartridge please I have tried both a Shelter 501 Mono, and, more recently, a Miyajima Premium BE, which is still breaking in (I've had it set up for a few weeks). I have a better turntable and preamp now, so it's hard to make an apples to apples comparison. Howeve... | |

| Mitch Singerman EAR 834p mod Just fyi, I have an EAR 834p currently being modded by the folks at The Analog Room in San Jose. These folks also have designed their own high end pre amp, Wavestream Kinetics...and one of the guys who designed the mods previously worked at MFA. I... | |
| Garrard 301 and Graham Phantom or Vintage Arm Thanks for you post...hmmm I wonder if that Ortofon on my Graham would work well on my Garrard...i might end up getting two arm boards | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? I recently ordered some speakers from Stereo Unlimited in Walnut Creek. These folks recommend a Jolida amp to go with the speakers. They mod the amp and they say they will help out if anything should go wrong. This seems to be a pretty good option... | |
| Hi Fi Dealers in NYC - where to find them? High Water Sound might be worth checking out. I moved out of NYC several years ago...have only spoke with these folks on the phone...sounded very friendly and helpful. | |

| Review: Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood Cartridge I'm interested in tryign this cartridge with a second system that I'm planning. I have a VPI Scout with a JMW 9 arm and an EAR 834P preamp. As another alternative, my dealer has encouraged me to trade in my Scout and upgrade to a Nottingham Space ... | |

| Advice buying a Music Server? Just Olive 4HD? You could just get a Logitech / Slim Devices unit modded by someone such as Boulder Cable. I have not tried it, but I bet this would be a great and simple way to go. I have a Wavelength Audio Brick. These can be had used for $750 to $800 and are u... | |
| Good Horn Speakers Of Moderate Size Thank you for your responses, and keep them coming. I had not heard of Aspara before. I don't have a particular budget in mind. If something is great, but expensive, I can save up for it, as I already have a decent system. My horns + supertweeter ... | |
| Great MONO recordings I really appreciate all of the suggestions. This Shelter 501 Mono seems to be on back order, so I guess it will be a few weeks. Good thing I already have the Gil Melle Jazz Patterns from Music Matters. I had thought that the Mono cartridge would b... | |
