| High efficiency speakers for Shindo Mickey, some more suggestions:- Cain Abbys for single drivers (and you can listen to them at my place)- Possibly the Cain&Cain WWW (designed by Gordon Rankin)- Klipsch La Scala (Rick has a pair that you can listen to)- Altecs- Herron Audio use... | |
| Question regarding cartridge outputs... I assume those numbers are for two different cartridges...If that is the case the second cartridge will have significantly higher output when tracking a track with say a groove velocity of 5 cm/sec. In fact output will be around 0.85mV for that tr... | |
| Teres 260 or Galibier Serac? Flyingred, have you listened to the Serac in comparison to the Gavia. Last time I compared the Serac platter against the Stelvio platter on a Gavia table (at Thom's place) there was a substantial difference between the two platters. I would have g... | |
| If hard drive betters optical digital retrieval It's called a Mac Mini - you press import under itunes and play back the CD after 2-3 minutes from the hard drive. And the best thing - you only have to do it once. Why the need to have a CDP - a small PC is much more convenient and flexible for t... | |
| Got A Turntable...What Next? The 3009 with removable headshell is borderline ok. Given the effective arm mass or 9.5g and specs of the Shelter (8.1g, 9cu compliance) you get a resonance frequency of about 12.5Hz just a little outside the ideal range.The Shure V 15 VxMR is ver... | |
| Got A Turntable...What Next? Does your SME have a removable headshell or not? The removable one has a slightly higher effective mass and may work borderline with the Shelter.I don't have any personal experience with low mass arms and thus have only limited recommendations - I... | |
| Got A Turntable...What Next? I doubt the Laguna are the weak part of the system. A friend's Altec A7's are IMO still one of the best speakers I heard to date and that includes many modern hornspeakers, such as the Avantgarde and others.You may want to look into modifying and ... | |
| PHONO-Hagerman's Cornet or Wright Sound WPP200C Mingles, As much as I like the Wright, the JLTI just has more resolution, especially in terms or imaging, layering of images, and separation of instruments. The JLTI get attack and decay or notes right and captures the tone of natural instruments ... | |
| TT+tonearm under $5k I can second the Galibier Serac - It would be a very good start to get into analog. I personally visited Thom in Denver last spring. At the time I was able to compare the Serac platter and Stelvio platter on the Gavia table (the Serac table was st... | |

| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed Lewm, the analog of a friction bearing is not strictly correct. The effects are similar when considering the influence of stylus drag though - both act as a low-pass filter for vibrations and speed variations. As for a freely spinning platter vs. ... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed One table I forgot to mention in my previous post:Frank Schroeder has designed a new table which has an interesting idea for using a tape drive. I think it will be marketed by Artemis. Soundwise it is little of an unknown although you know what to... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed Dougdeacon, I complete agree with your assessment on the Scout. For the price it is an excellent table but the next step (as I mentioned already above) bring huge improvements in analog playback. Just a quick comment on one of your points as I thi... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed As for the analog-digital comparison: I agree my friends Esoteric beats his Scout on several levels as well. That is not true anymore when you step up to a more top end table - my compact DPS with Lyra Argo and JLTI phono does pretty much everythi... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed If you look closely you will see that the Target shelf passes through the back panel of the entertainment center. It is bolted to a piece of 5/8 birch ply that is screwed to wall studs. The table is literally floating within the entertainment cent... |
