| Floorstanding Speakers for Bluesy Rock 5-10k ? I should have mentioned that I'm not interested in a horn-based system, just curious. I can't imagine the bass response to be anywhere near sufficient for blues/rock. I'm very curious about the mid-range, though. In my experience, the ultimate cha... | |
| Floorstanding Speakers for Bluesy Rock 5-10k ? I contemplated adding a sub before, but it's not for me. Aside from the fact that the Nait 5i doesn't have the requisite input, I don't particularly want additional hardware, and it would take a considerable amount of time to properly dial everyth... | |
| Okki Nokki RCM-5 vs VPI 16.5 I looked into this at a prior date, but couldn't justify the cost of an RCM given my modest vinyl collection. However, I was definitely impressed with the Okki Nokki, and would likely have purchased it over the VPI 16.5. Briefly, the Okki Nokki ro... | |
| Cartridge Setup - Where to buy tools? I've never installed a cartridge before, so I'm looking for equipment that's dead simple, reliable, and affordable. For example, the MintLP protractor is $110, whereas the TurntableBasics protractor is $20. I have no idea which would be best for a... | |
| Broken stylus - inexpensive solution? Ah crap, I had a feeling this was going to be a costly repair...Now that I have to replace the stylus, is there a noticeable improvement between the styli for the 1012GX, 1022GX, or 1042? I assume the price difference between the various styli is ... | |
| System Placement Question Thank you for the responses. Personally, I think it's bit impractical to purchase a whole new system simply so I can place it in a particular area of the room. Similarly, I don't think it's practical to turn off the rad just so I can place the sys... | |
| System Placement Question I'm renting, so that's not a possibility. | |
| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR Just a quick note, where on the Harbeth website did you read such a thing? If it's on the HUG forum, then you need to read with a critical eye. Statements of HUG members do not necessarily reflect Harbeth's official position. Much like Audiogon, t... | |
| When does analog compete with digital? Judging by the volume of responses, I was correct is my estimation that this might be a touchy subject...It was interesting reading everyone's responses. Thank you to those who have contributed. Just to reiterate, I presently have NO intention of ... | |
| When does analog compete with digital? After reading my long-winded response, please allow me to clarify the initial question...Suppose we are trying to compare wine and beer. Some say they are incomparable. However, we would certainly say that a very fine wine is much better than a st... | |
| When does analog compete with digital? Great responses, keep 'em coming! FYI, I posed the question to get a general sense of what others feel about the issue. My own personal view is that comparing analog to digital is like comparing apples to oranges - each have their own strengths an... | |

| Milty Zerostat - Questions In my experience, the Zerostat did not help to loosen dust prior to brushing. Rather, the dust just spread around the record, but remained firmly attached to it. Perhaps I have a defective unit, I do not know. In case anyone is interested, I think... | |
| Milty Zerostat - Questions I was simply pointing out that the method you described runs counter to the printed instructions for the Milty Zerostat. Perhaps it's different for the older model, I do not know.As I've already said, I'm not here to complain about the purchase. I... | |
| Milty Zerostat - Questions The DeStat makes more sense to me. It has a built in fan which ensures an equal dispersion of ions, in addition to blowing away the dust. The Zerostat, on the other hand, doesn't seem to loosen anything up. I think I'll do the sensible thing and s... |
