| Upscale Audio and Primaluna I'd walk away. Can't imagine the service would be any better if you actually had an issue with a product that you bought from them. | |
| SME Tonearms of Canada - Alfred and Company that sell new and refurbish SME I think Albert should read this post - can someone send him a link? | |
| Denon | 110th Anniversary | Silver-Graphite Headshell and DL103 ~18.5 gm - nice. Doesn't appear azimuth is adjustable though. | |
| cheapo phono preamp, $20. ridiculously good until you find something better. $20 phonostage will sound like a $20 phonostage no matter how you slice it. | |
| Favorite Cowboy Junkies? Depressing music - I’d rather pop a downer. | |
| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms Here's a thread that was started earlier - if it was me, I'd sent to Ikeda. Recommended FR 66 service | Audiogon Discussion Forum | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? About 150 and adding slowly - I don't want more than 500. I suspect there will be one or two more moves in my life and they get heavy. I try and rotate and listen to ~ 4-5 hours over the weekend. | |

| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree Dumb thread. Similar to your - I want the best turntable ever for $450. | |
| Cartridge without serial? It's not the consumers fault - consumers will buy at lowest price if all things equal. Sounds like the mfr isn't willing to do much at the top end and wants to blame the consumer. I think the mfr's should own up to their product and provide supp... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? Here's your first poll for vinyl. I primarily listen to vinyl.- currently, while waiting for my new turntable, I have only listened to music (Qobuz) twice over a period of a month. Typically, I would've averaged five to six times that. | |
| Cartridge without serial? @daveyf - the cartridge mafia runs a tight ship. ; ) | |
| Cartridge without serial? @chakster - the cartridge that I got retipped from VAS for ~$500 was well worth more than the ~$6k that I would have to pay for a new cartridge from their trade-in/exchange program. I can pick up two top end used cartridges with the savings. I al... | |
| Cartridge without serial? There are a few like juki on Ebay and Kron here on Agon that sell these "gray market" cartridges. There are buyers (from the number of reviews) that would rather pay these discounted price than the full retail price (plus tax) that a dealer would ... |
