Romance just keeps geting worse
After all this discussion about your used Romance woes, why didn't you just send the thing back to the previous owner and get your money back? It really sounds like you got a piece of crap this time. First you had a missing bearing, and now this. ... 
PMC Owners your opinions
MC1, OB1, 1B1, ABC, Doe Ray Mi, 1,2,3.....Who the hell can keep all that straight? Why doesn't PMC use some sort of rhyme or reason when naming their speakers? Sheesh, waaaaay too much confusion.....Oz 
Opinions please
Although I am a big Montana fan, I agree with the other opinions. Front end upgrades would yield a huge improvement that would be further realized later on with better speakers. Your preamp is pretty darn good for the money, but the Aragon should ... 
Equipment Set-up Recommendations?
Sorry, Gregadd. I didn't catch the part about placing the table in another room. My bad.Oz 
Equipment Set-up Recommendations?
Low frequencies tend to collect in corners. A turntable mounted directly in a corner is subjected to mucho airborne vibrations. Not, as you already know, a good thing for analog playback.Oz 
Von Schweikert VR4jr's in a 15' x 12' Room?
My vote is "too small".Oz 
Equipment Set-up Recommendations?
For GregaddMounting turntables in corners opens up a whole 'nother can of worms. Not a very good suggestion IMHO.Oz 
Equipment Set-up Recommendations?
If you put the table on a Machina Dynamica Promethean Base, not only will you get zero footfalls, the sound will improve dramatically. I can't recommend this device heartily enough for people with unsprung turntables.http://www.machinadynamica.com/Oz 
Advice for my first turntable/arm/cart please help
Ok, everybody is weighing in with their favorites, so I might as well too.A Nottingham Spacedeck is an excellent contender. I recently replaced my 5 yr. old Spacedeck with a newer one with the Ace-Space arm. The improvement is pretty substantial a... 
The best passive preamp
I agree with 4yanx. The Placette was thin, lacking dynamics, and uninvolving in my system. My current preamp is a custom job using the same trannies as in the NOH. It is excellent and has bested many more expensive preamps in every respect, includ... 
Usher X-929??????
>and they might make a better match with your setup and your ears.<Ahhhh, no. They did not. They didn't last very long, my Montanas dispatched them quickly.Oz 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
Not being a fan of Vandersteens, I would opt for the VR4 Jrs. However, if you like your music on the warm, laid back side of reality, the 3As might be for you. I find Vandersteens to be non-offensive and easy to listen but hardly transparent or re... 
VR-4JR or USHER 6371
You need to rethink your priorities. If you are constrained by WAF or other issues, don't waste your money on expensive speakers to position as you describe. Your room is on the small side for floor standing speakers with ample bass extension. Com... 
Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?
And I can't even spell response.....too much budweiser tonight....Oz 
Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?
Touche' Speakerdude! I have a pet peeve about these things too. Another favorite (not) of mine."These speakers have great base respones"....Don't you HATE that one?Oz
