| I need some turntable guidance @mijostyn SOTA no longer uses the lead shot. That's why Kirk said the new suspension could handle anything.Haven't taken it apart to figure out the new system, and probably won't. I've reached my satisfaction level with the table and arm combo. ... | |
| I need some turntable guidance @mijostyn Kirk (RIP, BTW) at SOTA offered to set up my Series III for anything during the upgrade he performed several years ago and noted arm mass was no longer a consideration with the Series V suspension I had him install. If I read the websit... | |
| I need some turntable guidance As you've discovered, there is indeed a wide range of opinion on what can be done. I've owned your preamp and have years of experience dating from the early 70s with your amp and K-horns. Here is some more food for thought:Your C2300 has one of ... | |
| Possible turntable upgrade.... A bit late to the party here, but I have direct experience with the Graham Phantom on a SOTA Sapphire. IMO, it is one of the most synergistic combinations available at any price. The arm is exceptionally well-suited to the table and the table is... | |
| Klipsch Heresy II Special Ed VS. Vandersteen 2c Proof is in the listening. Try the Heresys with the Fisher and see if you like them (tubes are the only way to go with Heresy). Be aware they are very efficient and not a choice to make neighbors happy in an apartment environment.Good luck &... | |

They are very easy to set up, bullet-proof reliable and can be had brand-new with a top-flight tonearm and cartridge for... | |

| Your last concert was to see who and when? Adrian Belew, Beachland Ballroom, Cleveland OH last night. Second show of this tour, new album just released. Too much material to cover here, but did a couple of the new tunes, a bunch of stuff from King Crimson's Discipline and Three of a Perf... | |
| In listening to your system(s)...what is most crucial to your enjoyment? @bdp24 +1! Your observations on snap, silence and veiling are absolutely spot on. I’ve spent many years building a system that was as transparent as I could make it using my Sheffields as the standard reference measure. When those Harry James trum... | |
| Best sounding CD (or hi=rez). jazz releases? Try:The Big Band Hit Parade on Telarc (515760Y), CD from 1988. Features Brubeck, Calloway, Severinson and more. Erich Kunsel and the Cincinnati Pops provide the orchestra. It's my go-to acoustic test CD for horns and I love all of the tunes on ... | |
| I’m going thru McIntosh he!! Second for Audio Classics; they're one of the best around for Mc gear. I have had issues with 2 different Mc A/V items: An ancient MAC-3 pre/pro and an MVP 881 BR (the 881 saga is in the archives here if you want to look it up).On the MAC-3, I s... | |
