| Tonearm comparison, Rega vs Zeta, anyone? Just a thought. The high mass Zeta may be a bit heavy for the Dyna 20, but the SME M2-9 would be a nice step up from the Rega, a good match for the cartridge from an effective mass standpoint and SME arms were commonly bundled with Oracles and are... | |

| Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one LOL, there sure is nothing that will make an LP12 sound like a VPI Prime Signature, thank goodness. The Linn is a classic not a bag of parts from Harry Weisfield’s garage.As if, in some other dimension, putting things in capital letters made them ... | |
| Tonearm comparison, Rega vs Zeta, anyone? Very fine turntable. They still make some excellent update kits for it if it has not been serviced. A true classic.The Zeta is simply on another planet from the RB300 on that turntable. The only caveat is that the effective mass is quite a bit hig... | |
| Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable! Put some fabric softener and water in a spray bottle and spray the carpet or floor near your gear. Problem gone. | |
| Turntable recommendations around $2500 The Linn Sondek LP12 majik is just over budget at $2750. Why buy a disposable turntable when you can have the turntable that has been in constant production since the 1970s and has been constantly refined in that period of time?Even the oldest LP1... | |
| Tonearm comparison, Rega vs Zeta, anyone? Of course, asking the question without mentioning what turntable you are using is tantamount to asking if Pirellis will improve your autos handling without naming the model of your car.I have experience with both, though not on the same turntable.... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? 7.36% so yes......absolutely. | |
| It really comes to something when a brand as iconic as Gibson Guitars cant stay afloat! Once they stopped the trade in exotic hardwoods the writing was on the wall. | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! I buy based completely on specs and really miss Dick Heyser’s brilliant, and comprehensive, work while at Audio. It is is a shame that Stereophile will no longer be proffering lab tests, but it is going to save me a lot of money as without this in... | |
| Phono cartridge grading To paraphrase, 75% of cartridge damage is the result of mounting and aligning. “Scary but fact.”Facts can be corroborated. Would you be so kind as to cite your source for this fact? Much appreciated.By the way, the best of my cartridges only made ... | |
| Authenticity of Speakers Congrats! Enjoy your new rig. | |
| Keeping Spend Among System Proportional? “But practically speaking does it make sense....”, ...You did not clearly read my post, or you would understand that monetary value has no relationship to what will sound good, or be appropriate, in your system. IMHO. No problem with those that di... | |
| Authenticity of Speakers One thing that may be confusing is that the serial numbers may be removed from the backs of the speakers and the box. Of course, this is cause for concern, and one immediately thinks that they are stolen, but one of the ways that new goods end up ... |
