| "Beginner" audiophile Turntable for $200-$300? Wes- Please let us know what comprises rest of your system. Also, what kind of phono pre are you going to be using?Jim | |
| "Beginner" audiophile Turntable for $200-$300? For maximum bang for the buck, you'd have to look at used equipment. The Nad 533 would be a good choice along with a P2 or even a Technics SL-1200. All of these can be had for around $200 used and all can be tweeked. One of the members here (membe... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Kevin- In addition to what has already been said about cleaning records, aligning the cartridge and maybe upgrading your table/cartridge, a DBX 3BX running through the tape loop would yeild pretty good results with your current table/cartridge noi... | |
| Time to get things straight. Psych- The Origin Live RB-250 is considered better than the OL RB-300. I don't recall the details, but it had alot to do with the stub configuation being more conducive to improvements. There were/are more than one level of upgrades than OL could ... | |
| Time to get things straight. Geez, I agree with and supported virtually all of Psych's very first line that the 1200 is one of the best in it's price range and I recommend it, and you say I'm trying to "start something" because I didn't bend over all the way and say that it i... | |
| Time to get things straight. I don't recall **anyone** ever having said that the 1200 **isn't** a good value in it's $400 (retail) price range. I've recommended good used ones to folks who are looking to get a start (or re-start)in vinyl. At around $150 (used) it's a great st... | |
| Looking to get TT Sorry, Psych, I never did well on the ASPCA. Darn lexdysia. Anyhoo, I made the assumptions that: 1)the $6000 system you're designing was for yourself, and 2)you'd be incorporating that with your $8000 noise control rig (ref your 6/02 post) for a t... | |
| Looking to get TT I'm just scratching my little head trying to figure out how one can have a total of $6000(retail)in a system when just the "noise control" portion is already at $8000 (retail)!! Must be a dang blame guvment program... | |
| Looking to get TT I see the Emperor still hasn't much to wear.... | |
| Soundstaging and imaging are audiophile fictions. Any animal's ear (including a human's) should have no trouble to very accurately identify the direction and distance of sounds. It's survival. | |

| Is $18,000 enough for a high end HT? EVERYBODY is less expensive than Stuart. Usually by ALOT. Guess if you have a champagne budget and the eyes of a hawk, the infintessimal difference might be sufficient justification. By recessed, do you mean a ceiling roll-up or a fixed screen rec... | |
| Is $18,000 enough for a high end HT? The new Panasonic projector that Tpidgeon mentioned is the PT-L300U. It's been out since January and is NOT a data projector like most in that price range. I had the opportunity to do a side-by-side comparison with a $12,000 projector that was jus... | |
| few questions about classic 70's recievers Check out some of the NAD receivers from that era. | |
| MM Cartridge Comparison Yes, you can use a high-output MC. Refer to the pre's owner manual for recommended cartridge output and impedence. To hazard a guess, anything over 2.0 mV is likely to work well. My opinion is that a good moderately priced HO MC will generally sou... |
