| "Violinists blast holes in violin experiment" **** I think the new instruments have proven that, objectively, the Strads and Guaneris are worth millions more only because of their rarity, not because of their sound is millions better.****Yes, it is amazing and fortuitous that one could get "c... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not I never thought I would do this: Audiogon, HELP! Where are you? | |

| Some tables have soul and some not ****The German table did everything right; it just had no soul****- CzappYet, earlier in your post you state that the fact that you didn't want to listen to it, was an indication that something was wrong. It can't be both. Clearly, the Garrard is ... | |
| What is "low ball" I would guess (if we were all to be ruthlessly honest) that the deviding line between what we consider to be fair and what is "low-balling" has a great deal do with wether we are the seller or the buyer. Having said that, I agree with Jdoris. I pa... | |
| VPI bearing oil/grease? ****I also find assertions that oil vs. grease makes audible difference rather absurd. Once you get the platter spinning at the correct speed, why would it matter what you used to lubricate it?**** - ActusreusA friendly reminder that time and time... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Geoch, "Bustelo" Espresso roast, but drip~brewed. Fantastic and inexpensive brew. Try it. :-) | |
| Some tables have soul and some not **** Classical music has no soul ****I share Learsfool's amazement that someone would make such a statement. One may not like one particular genre or another, but to believe something like that is, to me, a sign of a lack of openness at all that m... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not ****TT's and cartridges are "voiced" for different genre's of music, but perhaps only the most astute audiophiles are aware of this; which makes the fact why you are so "unaware" that much more apparent.**** -Orpheus10I am curious about how you ar... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Almarg and Terry9, thank you for a fabulous exchange; extremely informative and a model of civility. Very impressive. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Philcoffino, a couple of things to check.- Make sure the ARM is level, not just the platter. I will bet you an I-beam that your arm (spindle/housing) is not level, and is slightly higher in the rear. Even if a bubble level tells you that it is, tr... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct, glad it worked out; I had a strong suspicion that you would like the result. Maybe not a silver bullet, but a significant way of optimizing cartridge performance and system tuning. Again, issues of ultimate technical performance aside (trackin... | |
| Which is the best VPI Platter? Second Brf's list."As good or better than any table available at any price". As a current TNT6/5 platter owner who has owned four other VPI models, I can unequivocally say: No way! Good, but there are much better out there. If you value black back... | |
