| Speakers with Most good reviews in last ten years If you're buying wine by the label, Bose has, by far, had the most positive reviews in the last ten years. Enjoy your table radio. | |
| How can anyone afford this ? The problem with the "hobby" is that the focus becomes the gear and not the music. Much as car geeks focus on the gear and not the trip. Music can be very enriching on a table radio. I know, I keep an old Sony in my kitchen and listen to it more t... | |
| Best Audio Store Name? "The Good Guys", now they're just "The Unemployed Guys", LOL! | |
| Budget integrated amps for garage system This one fascinates me, but I have not heard it:http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-383No affiliation with the seller/manufacturer. | |
| What defines a high compliance cartridge vs low Mechans, thanks so much for the detail; it is greatly appreciated. | |
| Considering analog...but nervous You might just want to completely read through this thread that is currently running, before pulling the trigger:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1296166430&openmine&zzViridian&4&5#Viridian | |

I can heartily recommend the Blue Note reissue series that are remastered by Ron McMaster. These can easily be identified as they contain both a Rudy Van Gelder C... | |
| Musical Fidelity XLP2 upgrades That's viridian with an "i". Three in fact. Think of the circuit as a water pipe. If the water flow is restricted at the beginning of the pipe, it will be slow at the end. Likewise, if it is restricted at the end, it really doesn't matter how much... | |

Designers of moderately priced cartridges are using the Rega and VPI arms as design centers and at approximately 9 and 8 grams of effective mass these are medium mass arms. I think that there is ... | |
| Musical Fidelity XLP2 upgrades Caps are relatively cheap, replace them all. But instead of looking at your phono preamp as an assemblege of caps, resistors and diodes, try to conceptualize it as a power supply and the regulation of that power supply, an input stage, RIAA EQ and... | |
| Should I use pre-amp A preamp will definitely make a difference. But will you like that difference? Who knows? May I ask, do you seek clarity, dynamics, or tone? | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Vinyl is a fad, like breeding Labradoodles. Your chance of success is about the same, commitment, patience and persistance may get you there. Then again, most likely, your puppies will just be mutts. And if you think that watching a video by Mike ... | |
| Mission 774, one of the best? Is that the one that was designed by John Bicht, who went on to found Versa Dynamics? |
