| turntable madness What do you mean by inexpensive? IMHO, if you want the cheapest good turntable, get a Connoisseur(Sugden) BD2A. It will cost between $50-$150 plus cartridge. Next up the ladder is a Rega Planar 2. About $200-$300 plus cartridge. Another good table... | |
| Amps get all the thunder, what about preamps? The MFA and Counterpoint preamps are some of the best ones ever made. Especially if you use the phono section. The rare Counterpoint SA-9 is probably the best dedicated phono amp ever made, although it is very expensive and very few made. MFA had ... | |
| Phono Amp Recommendations From the research I have been able to do, it seems as if the phono sections in many used preamps are superior the the current outboard mid-priced variety. The used MFA Magus, early Audible Illusions, Counterpoint, and Audio Research preamps all of... | |

| What about the Teres Turntable? http://www.rauna.com/cantus.html Sure Chris,this is the link. It is a very simple design, but it looks to have all the right ideas. They claim it is as good as any linear arm made, as long as it is set up correctly. I have emailed them in Sweden t... | |
| Smallest tube system for bed room The best thing you could do is get a David Berning MicroZOTL. It is a OTL Tube amp that is designed for bedrooms or office applications. It has a volume control, so you don't need a preamp, but it has only one set of inputs. It has a headphone jac... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? Ok, Bishopwill, I'll give you the deep organ part of the argument against single drivers. But, the high end is not rolled off on good single driver speakers. Many times a high end rolloff on these is actually the characteristic of the SET amps tha... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? Bishopwill, I humbly and completely disagree with your point of view about not hearing what the composer intended. The same could be said about any speaker, whether it be 1 way or 6 way. If I said that a multi-way speaker did not produce the 16Hz ... | |
| The best oil to use to lube a turntables spindle . Most mfrs. have a specific oil that they supply/recommend for their bearings. The requirements vary for the bearings used. A "sloppy" bearing will need a higher viscosity oil to take up the "slop", and close tolerance bearings will need a thinner ... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? If 90% of music is in the midrange, then why not use a great single driver speaker? Keep studying Tweek, you will eventually find out that I have been right all along. | |
| Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver? I have never heard the ATC's so I don't know for sure. But, the recording industry is not exactly known for having "golden ears" in the past. The previous "most used" monitor in recording studios was Yamaha NS-10's. Not exactly great. I doubt if t... | |
| What is the best 2A3 SET Amplifier? The Sun 2A3 amp is very highly regarded and reasonably priced. | |
| What about the Teres Turntable? Okay, here's where I am so far. I am planning to go for the 2.75 inch thick acrylic, lead shot-filled platter with precision bearing first. Chris says they should be ready by the end of the month($990). Next, I want to go with the Cocobolo shot-fi... | |
| Try this simple DIY interconnect cable. Good question. I did not try wrapping both conductors, evenly spaced, around the tube. I did read about that method though. The reason I put the signal conductor down the middle of the tube is because it is a much oversize tube and I wanted the "a... | |
| best way to clean Grado Sonata I can verify that matchbook strikers work well. I can also verify that Linn gave out the matchbooks with their logo on them that had "Linn Stylus Cleaner" printed on the cover. I personally watched Ivor Tiefenbrun clean the stylus of a Linn Karma ... |
