| which is better ? MC phono stage or MM+step-up ? Yes, I have been told that getting the jfet gain stage to really sound right is not easy, which is why there are many bad examples out there.I'll leave it to others to sway toward one approach or the other. I am only offering that there is more th... | |
| which is better ? MC phono stage or MM+step-up ? The Alaap IS a tubed phono and pre, with a jfet MC stage. | |
| which is better ? MC phono stage or MM+step-up ? It is not the jfet. The Doshi Alaap uses a jfet mc gain stage most beautifully.

| When will rap music be less mainstream? No, no. You hip hop, car jockeys need to learn what bass is supposed to sound like. Not that LF distortion noise almost every one of you are so proud of. THAT is what people are repulsed by. It's not the volume, it is the lack of sounding anything... | |

| Roger Waters Amused to Death LP what is it worth$ I am huge Pink Floyd fan since before most people had even heard of the band. After twenty years I'm still trying to like Amused to Death. I understand the market forces at work, it is just not one I would spend that kind of coin on. I would sugge... | |
| Moving into vinyl. Brinkman, TW Raven, GrandPrix?? Yes, I hope your friends also told you about how much work doing vinyl correctly can be. I'm all for anyone trying vinyl, but I'm not sure I would ever say that digital loses it's appeal if it is also done correctly.As for tables to start with, I ... | |
