| Would love some thoughts on how to upgrade my gear Internet advice is great, but ultimately, you're going to have to wander through the world of hi-end yourself and assemble a system that fits your tastes and budget. Unless you're in the "price no object" category, there are going to be some compr... | |

Anything visual can make your post much more effective in conveying your message don't you think?regards,Abe______________________I don't think i... | |
| MC for MusicHall MMF2.2 Just one suggestion before you start spending a lot of money. Try a Herbies mat on the Music Hall. When I got back into analog, my first tt was a Music Hall MMF5. The Herbies mat transformed it more than I could have imagined. When I decided to bu... | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? I just looked at Ayon's website and the CD-1 was gone. Looks like the CD-2 is its replacement. | |
| Can we go back to 33's please? I have an old copy of Night in Tunisia. I purchased the new reissues to see how much better, if any, they were. I was talking about reissues. I'm not nuts about used records, as I find them vastly over-graded. | |
| Tube Phono-Stage question. I found the Tube Box IISE to have somewhat undefined bass response, which was cured by a switch to different tubes. I used Black Sable Tung Sols ($99/pair). However, since you're probably not going to buy the PJ just to immediately upgrade, I woul... | |
| Can we go back to 33's please? Johnbrown - the last two 45 reissues I purchased, Bill Evans/Tony Bennett and Night in Tunisia, were not available on 33, at least that I could see. That aside, it seems that most of you are fine with the growing number of 45 reissues, so it appea... | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? Yes, I saw it too. What I meant was that they don't say anything about it in terms of where it sits in the line or why one would consider it as opposed to the CD1 and CD3. | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? It's probably too new for anyone to have heard. The distributor does a 15 day money back audition on Ayon, so that's your ticket if you're really interested. They don't say anything about it on the site. I thought it odd they would come out with a... | |
| Myrtle wood under TT I know you're low on cash, but my advice is to get a wall shelf if possible. They're about $150 new and the difference in isolation is huge. My dog jumps down off the couch and the record doesn't skip. You're going to tear your hair out and spend ... | |
| Can we go back to 33's please? Birdies - I changed from the Armageddon to the Lingo2, as there was just too much good music coming out on 45. That Linn adaptor is impossible. | |
| Linn Sondek Hype I assume your floors are very solid, or you would be complaining about footfall problems. If you can live with the cosmetics of the thing, I highly recommend the Target wall shelf, at about $150 or so. Really isolates the Linn and lets you experim... | |
| CD player NOT made in China under $1,000? Trelja - Is the high failure rate in the field, or is it on products that are shipped to you? In other words, you get a CD player from the company, take it out of the box and run it for two days without incident. If it gets that far, is it likely ... | |
| Upgrade for better redbook performance Without getting into the minutae of your system, the SC has pretty good Redbook and you may just be hearing the limitations of the CD format. Before spending thousands, I think you should take your SC to a dealer and do an A/B against a potential ... | |
| Do I need a special DAC for SACD ? I cannot imagine any reasonably priced SACD player in any way approaching what you are hearing out of redbook CDs on the MBL combo you have. If you just want to fool around with SACDs to see what it's all about, I suggest a used Sony XA-9000ES SAC... |
