| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable However, the fact that the measurements are in different systems makes me skeptical that the two tables are different in any meaningful way that would have meaning to audiophiles, or that the Stanton has superior audiophile specs.Tvad (Threads | ... | |
| Floor standers or Monitors? If you want to try something with an entirely different presentation than your VR4 Jr, and if you'd like the opportunity to try it in your home for 4 months before you have to make a decision, then consider Ohm loudspeakers. They have several mode... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable BTW, I tried to do a side-by side comparison of the Stanton and Technics tables on Needle Doctor, and the specs require conversion from English to Metric to make any meaningful comparison. So, I cannot conclude that the Stanton has anything improv... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable First, the quote from Needle Doctor was taken from DJ Magazine, so the comment is in the context of DJ turntables using DJ criteria...not audiophile criteria.Second, having looked at a photo of the Stanton table, it appears to have a striking rese... | |
| MC Phono Stage w/ Attenuator?? The Vinyl One is a nice looking unit. $3000 (w/ volume control).The Wright Sound WPP200C is a more modest, yet highly regarded unit. $895.What's in YOUR wallet? :) | |
| MC Phono Stage w/ Attenuator?? 04-03-07: Pawlowski6132I'm looking to run a phono stage directly to my amp. I need to control the loudness. You can do this with the Wright Sound WPP200C. It has dual mono gain controls. | |
| How do you pay? Why? IIRC = Irespective to Internal Rate Comparison... silly.Blindjim (System | Reviews | Threads | Answers)Whew! Thanks.I thought it meant Involuntary Institutional Residence Commitment. | |
| MC Phono Stage w/ Attenuator?? If by attenuator you mean variable gain, the Wright Sound WPP200C is a MM/MC phono preamp with 0-60dB variable gain. | |
| How do you pay? Why? 04-03-07: SwampwalkerMy comparison on rates was on-line vs. over the retail counter at Kinkos. It is about 15-20% diff, IIRC.Ah yes, that is true. What does IIRC mean? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century 04-02-07: Stevem1960My current pet annoyance is that no matter what I do, my humble $100 Marantz analogue FM tuner sounds nicer (more natural to my ears) than my $5,000 CD replay system with $2,000 worth of fancy cables attached to it.Ditto my vin... | |
| How do you pay? Why? ...you will get lower rates with an account and on-line label production with Fedex.Swampwalker (System | Threads | Answers)I don't. My FedEx rates are the same as list rates according to an estimate I did today.Guess I don't know the secret hands... | |
| How do you pay? Why? I have had an account with UPS and FedEx for a couple of years. It's a good way to go.BTW, UPS will pick up for an additional fee...even with UPS Ground Shipments.My FedEx account does not allow for pick-up for Ground shipments, so I can create th... | |
| Dealers that don't e-mail or call Agreed. I have sent two email inquiries to an Audiogon seller who stated in the listing that he has many _____ for sale, and requests an email for pricing. I've sent two emails and I have never received a reply. At this point, if I did receive a r... | |
| How do you pay? Why? Raquel, I know you to be careful in your words and advice, but your warnings in this thread scare the crap out of me as a buyer. I have to say that if I was new to this site (or even a seasoned vet), I don't think I'd ever buy anything from anyone... | |
| How do you pay? Why? If a buyer is concerned about being covered in the event his/her item is lost, stolen or damaged, the he/she should collect proof of the item's value if a need should arise to provide a shipper evidence to support the item's value. In other words,... |
