| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement Hi Aoliviero,Thinking of spending 10-20K for a vinyl setup? Don't!My modest system of Basis 2000 table/RS Lab RS-A1 arm/Shelter 501 II cartridge (via 47 Lab Phonocube) probably sounds better than your Wadia. (Please don't take it personally.)But t... | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 happy/un-happy owners I once heard a $50,000 system and thought the cheap stuff at Best Buy sounded better. - Linnlp 12Huh? | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 happy/un-happy owners Not too long ago I auditoned a souped-up LP12 against an equally maxed-out Basis 2001 Signature.The verdict: Basis 2001 - which was more refined and quieter. The Linn, on the other hand, sounded thin - more like CDs. (I've heard the older LP12s ar... | |
| Attention: Basis Turntable owners Hi George,You have a nice system. Your next upgrade should be the pod (feet) for your 2000. Have you considered this upgrade?No, I haven't thought about the Vector arm, although I've heard a lot of good things about it. Sometimes when you start up... | |
| Attention: Basis Turntable owners Hi Gslone,These tweaks became available only recently. I have the 2000. If I upgrade to the "calibrator base," I would need to first move up to the 2001, then do the base. Could be a costly move, unless I go with the base for now. I'll wait until ... | |
| A short afternoon of Linn, Basis and Redpoint Hi Raul,I have so far bought a Shelter 501 II; can't afford the Miyabi 47. :( At this point, however, I'm slowing down because this process of upgrading is for the long haul. Don't want to keep changing gear and spending needlessly.Regards,George | |
| A short afternoon of Linn, Basis and Redpoint Mea culpa! I didn't mentally take notes to recognize the amp nor preamp, but they were quite high-end. The speakers, however, were not easy to miss. They were the latest incarnation of the Eidolon from Avalon.The cartridge on the Vector was the Tr... | |
| RS-A1 Owners The RS-A1 replaced the stock RB300 in my Basis 2000. It turned my analog section around so much that I stopped thinking about replacing my table (at least for a while).How does it sound? Transparent, lively and dynamic.George | |
| Turrntable With or Without Suspension? Larkyparka,Sorry to deviate from the original post, but, man - WHAT is your turntable?Regards,George | |
| Beatles re-released stereo first 4 Albums By the way, CB, "Let It Be Naked" is horrible! (One listen, and to the shelf forevermore!)George | |
| Beatles re-released stereo first 4 Albums Ozzy is right, these are very good sounding CDs. In fact, they sound better that the ones EMI issued.CB, are you listening to the same thing?George | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm Wow! Raul, your acquaintance could be my friend anytime!But he must hold you in pretty high esteem to just send you a Schroder! I'd like to read what you think about it!Regards,George | |
| Is the Teres a Hi Bill,I like the RS-A1 for its speed and dynamics. I have, however, an issue with its delicate nature; you can't afford to be casual with it. It's made very different from other arms in the market. I have only compared it to my stock RB-300, whi... | |
| Is the Teres a Sorry to NGeorge for the endless OT, but it seems like a nice conversation!Dougdeacon No problem at all. Take the thread wherever it leads to. Any conversation about music/gear is fine with me.Regards,George | |
| Is the Teres a Art Dudley's little story about Thom and Chris may not be able to bring them back together. Yet it's quite comforting to know that although they "march to different drummers" now, they still pursue their love of music, or more specifically, their ... |
