| Are some of us cultish in our beliefs No, not at all. All of us are cultish in our beliefs. I'm a music groupie, prefer acoustic jazz of the 50s and 60s, classic rock, opera and bluegrass. No Barber, no Krall, no Cole, no Monheit, no Jacintha and no no no Swedes playing dixieland. The... | |
| Taking audio too seriously? Music is serious, audio is a diversion. | |
| Help First Audiophile system Brian, you asked me if I know of a place in Ann Arbor to demo the system that I suggested, but do you think that it is morally appropriate to take a dealers time and use his facilities and then buy used? It does not sit well with me. A lot of us b... | |

| Music Hall CD25, Onix XCD-88, Rega Planet; Others? This is really old news, the Philips transports are being phased out as well. Fortunately, the strange logic of the Philips not withstanding, they are both very reliable with many, many units in service. Why loose sleep over this kind of thing? If... | |
| Phono cable/grounding/loading questions Your methodology is pretty flawed, but you have a great table there. You are measuring your in-room frequency response, more or less. Try going from the phono preamp directly into a voltmeter or scope. This way you will be measuring the response o... | |

| Music Hall CD25, Onix XCD-88, Rega Planet; Others? Mechans, very well put. Autre, I was speaking of the orginal Planet, but have had a listen to the Planet 2000 and Jupiter 2000 as well and they hew pretty closely to the Rega house sound. For female vocal, you may very well prefer the ONIX or Rote... | |
| Music Hall CD25, Onix XCD-88, Rega Planet; Others? I have owned the XCD-88, which is the same player as the CD25, both being made by Shanling in China and just rebadged, and still own the Planet. I have also tried several NAD players, as well as the excellent Rotel RCD-1072. I had all but the NADs... |
