| Wisconsin - Anyone interested? I know several other people in Green Bay that would be interested and would be willing to travel if anyone ever gets anything together. Give the ball a good kick and lets see what happens. | |
| SOTA Sapphire Upgrades I understand your hesitation to talk to the manufacturer but you don't need to worry. I sent my Sapphire back to Sota in Decmeber for recommendations on upgrades or a possible trade. I ended up getting a Star after considering several possible upg... | |
| Analog Front End for 5000 I couldn't agree with the Sota Star suggestion more. I began with a Sapphire and recently traded it in for a Star. Both the Star and Donna and Kirk at Sota are fantastic. I have never had a better experience in this hobby which is well known for i... | |
| Which VPI LP Cleaning Machine? I have a 16.5 and my brother-in-law has the 17. I have been happy with the 16.5 but since I saw the 17 work a few times I have to admit it is a much better cleaner. Can you justify the cost difference??? | |
| New Analog system. where to start? Everyone is going to have a different opinion, so here's another. I can't argue with the Rega arm suggestion since I am using an RB 900. I find the lack of VTA adjustment irritating. I do think you can do much better for a turntable though. I woul... | |
| Help setting up cartridge VTA I also have a Star but I am using a Rega RB 900 with the Benz Glider and I have to use a slightly negative VTA with this combination. You have it much better though since the Rega has no VTA adjustment while the SME is fairly easy to work with. Wi... | |
| Is there a turntable book? There was book published several years ago which I found to be very helpful. I did not read all the responses to your question because they seem to have gotten a little too foolish so I don't know if it was mentioned already. Laura Deerborn wrote ... | |
| columbia vinyl dylan remasters I am a Dylan fan but only own about 32 of his albums. There were enough that I didn't care about that it would make it hard to justify the cost. Unless you were getting them so cheap that the so-so (obviously open to interpretation) ones were free... | |
| Wisconsin - Anyone interested? I've been wondering the same thing! Who wants to assume the responsibility to establish something like a CAS? I love this game and I know there's lots of others around who would like to sit down and argue the merits of their system over yours, may... | |
| How to improve a Sota Sapphire III? I had a Sapphire until a few weeks ago. I sent it back to Sota (in Chicago) to see what they could do to upgrade and/or modify. After spending some very enjoyable time on the phone with a couple of the people there I decided to trade my Sapphire f... | |
| Best Value Speakers?? I am a huge fan of American electronics and as a rule stick to them, but the best speakers I have found for the money are a pair of Sony SSM7A. The are an American design and have been compared by Stereophile writers to the Wilson Watt and Puppies... | |
| Disappointed in SACD player I don't have an SACD player and at the moment have no plans to buy one, but...I have done some time listening to one on an average system (that's anything that isn't as good as mine) and the sound was very good. My Sota Sapphire/Rega RB900/Sumiko ... | |
| Tubes are not so unreliable The problem in most tube equipment is not the tubes but the way designers abuse them. Tubes can last nearly a life time unless they are pushed so hard to do things they weren't designed to do. Most new (the last ten or fifteen years) tube designs ... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Because too many audiophiles listen to their equipment not their music. We turn people off by the way they see us listen to things. I've seen people with huge dollar systems listen to "music" they don't like because it sounds good. Where is the lo... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? Availability is a huge concern. Is the music you want to listen to available on the "next new format?" SACD ond DVD have extremely limited choices. Virtually anything is available on vinyl. Somethings are just harder to find than others. CDs are c... |
