| Tonearms: Graham 2.1 or 2.2 vs Basis Vector Art,I am currenty shopping around for tonearms, but am not in any major rush to purchase one. I have been researching and leaning towards a Origin Live Silver 250. It seems that well thought out engineering principles went into its design, and is ... | |
| Goldmund record collector's standards VS. English Well, I have to admit that I am rather new to the vinyl scene. In fact, I still am working on a turntable setup. I have been purchasing records as I prepare for the time when I will have a TT system setup. I find that very few people in the real ... | |
| Help with OL-Tonearm and Cartridge. The phono stage is an EAR834P Tube phono stage that I am considering using. It comes with the option of a volume control which I am leaning towards. I like the volume control because it gives me the flexibility of using it without the preamp. Pcto... | |
| Basis Model 2100 vs Michell Orbe SE II Gundam91,If you purchase everything all at once and buy such expensive gear new they will usually give you a discount. I can't afford to buy everything new and all at once.Besides the margins on the SME V are so high that most of the discount is c... | |
| Basis Model 2100 vs Michell Orbe SE II Thanks for the information. I certainly welcome additional comments as I am not yet sure which route to take. The cartrigdes I am considering are the Benz Glider or ACE , but have not ruled out the Dynavector cartridges. Its hard to say at this po... | |
| Are you Guys Rich or What!? If $7500 MSRP will get you a great system, think what you can do by buying all your stuff off of audiogon. It could cut the price in half or it could allow you the option of purchasing more equipment/dollar. | |
| How important is precise VTA adjustment? I appreciate everyone's input on this issue. It appears that there are several VTA options available for Michell turntables, but they do not appear to be user friendly. It also seems that VTA is such an important adjustment that I am beginning to ... | |
| Convert Me I am in exactly the same situation as your are. I have been debating trying out analog for a while. I have been going back and forth finally decided to research it. I would recommend that you consider the Michell Engineering TT's. My research indi... | |
| Need help with analog system choices Everyone,Thanks for all of the advice. I feel more comfortable and at ease now. I also want to mention that the reason I did not provide figures for a budget is that I was not sure what was required to set up a TT system. Based on all of the respo... | |
| Cartridge Break-In I don't understand this cartridge break-in process. Why would the cartridge need to be broken in? Is the tip manufactured with small spikes on it that eventually wear down with use?If you try and rationalize this I just don't see how time would ma... | |
| Bryston B60 - Is it worth it? Vlad:Bryston is a good company and they stand behind their products. Don't worry about the sales on Audiogon. That is the very reason for this site to begin with. Their will always be sales of all kinds of equipment on this site because people hav... | |
| Speaker Hum Question Andrew, If your preamp is in standby then its not the preamp. The focus should be the amplifier. You mentioned that your amplifier is dual mono. It is possible that the slight hum you hear is due to the output transformer exhibiting vibrations fro... | |
| Vienna Acoustics vs Revel Studios? I think you have an amazing set of speakers in the Vienna Acoustics Beethoven's. It would be unfair to comment on the Revels since I have never heard them before. I can say that I have spend numerous hours in front of the Beethoven's doing critica... | |
| 3 Way Speakers It depends on the school of thought you suscribe to. I have heard 2 way systems that sound great, but have also heard 3 way systems that are just as good if not better. It really depends on the design of the speakers themselves not the number of c... | |
| Will people buy Snake Oil? If you price it real high so that everyone will be convinced that it works you just might get some sales. |
