| Cardas Cross vs Analysis Plus Copper Oval IC Do a in home AB comparision. This is the only way you can be sure. It was the AB comp that got me hooked on Cardas in the first place. | |
| Best affordable phono preamp? For half that money look at the Ayre. I tried one and it does an outstanding job. So spend 2300 on it and 2700 on vinyl. | |
| Sticky tonearm lifter on old Rega TT Sounds like from your description that something got askew either by impact or mfgs. defect. I would contact the distributer and see if there are any parts available that you can rebuild the lift mechanism. If not force it down out of "arms way" a... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? I love the vinyl sound. In my opinion we hear in analog and vinyl never leaves that domain. I also love the convenience of CD's. I think it all comes down to how much you are willing to spend on either format in equipment to maximize playback qual... | |
| best cd player redardless of price I agree before I plopped down 28K it would be in my system for at least a weekend. Operative word is "extra 28K" which I serioulsy doubt I will ever have in my budget...unless I get the right 6 balls to come in lotto.As far as value there are bett... | |
| best cd player redardless of price The Naim 555! I listend the other day at the dealer and we did an A-B comp with a cheaper Naim and all I can say I wish I had an extra 28K sitting around. | |
| What should be the first component when upgrading? I agree w/Muzikat with one exception. I would do speakers last. Once you have the front end set the you can in-home the speakers that best match you front end. What is your budget on the CDP? | |
| Velodyne DD-15 setup question No 60 is as low as my pre-pro permits. I would love to have that option though. | |
| Removing the lid of your amp/preamp I only take mine off once a year to blow the dust out. Never had a heat issue and I would be afraid of some freak accident that could result in a short from something dropping on a circuit board. Oh and I take the covers off to change the bulbs...... | |
| cdp's you had glitches with Mine was a Rega Jupiter(2000). I have never had a CDP that would skip from footfall or bass feedback. Although Steve Lauerman, importer at the time did send me a complete new player, it did the same and I traded it in on an Ikemi at another Rega d... | |
| Beatles MFSL box set Zeneith, Moraz was also a great keyboardist as well. He added something to the Moodies, but I think it took them away from their roots and they have never found their way back. But I do enjoy his addition to the sound. I just miss Pinders influenc... | |
| Beatles MFSL box set Never did get to see them with Pinder. First time I saw them was the Octave tour. Pinder just wouldn't tour even though he was on the album. Moraz was a great showman and he and Ray seemed to have a real connection on stage. They did the extra lon... | |
| Beatles MFSL box set Stltrains, Sure gonna miss Ray Thomas' voice and writing. His solo albums are great if you can find them. He had such a deep smooth voice with great range. I have the latest DVD that had the new Flutist and she does a great job but sing "For My la... | |
| Beatles MFSL box set I second er a third the Moodys Seventh Sojourn. My favorite was Every Good Boy but the recording was never very good. Unfortunately the Moodys Made some great music they just had some bad recordings. Like Picasso on Cardboard. | |
