| Primaluna Pre and Odyssey Power: Impedance issues? Many thanks for the response. I guess the Primaluna pre is off my list! | |
| Vinyl for Digitally Recorded Music - ? The mastering process for vinyl is so different than CDs resulting in a way different (not necessarily better) sound. I for one prefer that vinyl sound, but I am pragmatic about the fact it's my personal preference, and someone else may prefer the... | |
| Who is using a Denon 160 on P3 without VTA change? Do it! I had a denon DL160 on my P25, also without VTA spacers etc. and it sounded just lovely. I actually bought a VTA adjuster from Origin Live and ended up not using it as I preferred the sound without it. Sounded somewhat brittle and metallic ... | |
| Well recorded records ... what are your picks? Soundtrack to "where the wild things are" by Karen O and the Kids. Stunning recording, and it's obvious they mastered the vinyl version with great care and precision. Also a "new" record not plagued by bad pressing problems like so many others now... | |
| Denon DL-160 discontinued? oooh how exciting, I didn't realize they'd announced the 100 anniversary products yet. There's a turntable too (not as interesting, but cool never the less)..http://www.denon100.com/#/en/products/cartridge | |

| Sensible upgrade from Denon DL160 much food for thought, thanks to all. hadn't thought mm carts would be suggested so looks like i have some more research to do! | |

Current /newish Releases of interest:Radiohead - In Rainbows (in particular the ltd edition release includes CD copy of album also, and it's a 45rpm LP) The White Stripes - Ickey Thump (An all analog recording and the 1st ever LP to be mastered at... | |
| SOTA reel to reel players One of the last remaining manufactured R2R was the Tascam BR-20. Built like a tank and plenty of parts are still available. They pop up on ebay quite frequently, worth looking out for. A pro deck, but unlike a lot of the otaris/studers etc out the... | |
