2008 RMAF – – – all things analog.

I have two questions/comments on the 2008 RMAF below.

1) First thing…

Who’s Going?

I’m going for my second consecutive year. I enjoyed last year a great deal. I had wonderful discussions with analog types like Thom Mackris, Alvin Lloyd, Jeff Cantalono/Thomas Woschnik, and Frank Schroeder. I had time with my own LPs on all of their tables as well as quite a few others. I’m looking forward to this coming year as well.

If you are going to the 2008 RMAF, I’d like to know so I can meet some of you out in Denver.

2) Second thing…

Any suggested Table, Cartridge, Arms to pay particular attention to?

Again, If you are going to the 2008 RMAF, I’d like to know so I can meet some of you out in Denver.

Raul,

i think we are going a bit in circles here (and i'm part of that problem) as we are back to the whole 'proof of cause/effect of stylus drag' issue......when the issue is not likely one to be proved other than by listening.

i wrote a long response here and then realized it was almost an identical response to your earlier 'almost identical' post.

so i'll let things go for now.

cheers,

Albert,

that sounds exciting.....isn't it grand when something which seems to be soooo good.....becomes 'gooder' and 'for cheap'. i'm glad it's not some $2k power cord at least.

hopefully Dobbins will let me know what i need to do to cash in on your discovery.

it will be awhile before my budget recovers to where the Coral Stone and PC-1 Supreme are options.....but they were already in my gunsights. i'll have to settle for my vdH Colibri's for now. i'm sorta tt poor and RTR poor at the moment (according to the wife).

of course; i could always sell the Rockport to fund my adventures (like the Walker did yours). one must choose.....

but i'm not complaining.......

If you were able to replace the Rockport with a MK3, what a pile of cash you would have. You would be far better off than me, the Rockport is worth three times what a used Walker sells for.

With that in mind, if the MK3 got within 5% I would be tempted to pocket the cash and go mad for software and whatever cartridges you want.

Who knows, these new cartridges could be as big as turntable differences. I'm hearing such incredibly strong feedback on the Supreme, i can hardly wait to get mine running.

Comments on the Koetsu Coral have been pouring out for what seems forever. I just wish the Coral was not so expensive.
