| Any experience with TEAC DS-H01 iPod dock? For what it's worth, I decided to take a chance on the TEAC dock, and I am impressed! I did a brief A-B comparison with my Rega Apollo CD player, and I struggled to hear much of a differnece in sound quality on the same source material. If anythin... | |
| Best turntable/cartridge combo for $700-$750 I recently faced a similar decision and decided to go with pre-owned (1-week old) Rega P3-24 and a pre-owned Audio Technica AT440MLa cartridge. The total cost, delivered to my home, was $720. I'm absolutely thrilled with the sound! There's really ... | |

| Heifetz' Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto Classic Rec For what it's worth, I'm a big fan of Michael Rabin's performance. Rabin has a very different interpretation - far more romantic and less harried. Mika | |
| Rega P2, Thorens TD-180 or Music Hall MMF-5.1? Thanks for all the input!I've decided to order a preowned Rega P3-24.Mika | |
| Heifetz' Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto Classic Rec After some fiddling with my TT, the distortion is noticeably reduced. However, there is a steady hiss throughout the entire recording. Is this tape hiss inherent to the recording, or is this record surface noise?Mika | |
| Speakers "pumping" with record warps - normal? Hi Raul -I've measured the reonant frequency of the tonearm/cartridge combo - it's roughly 8Hz (at the low end of the desirable range).If I want to increase the resonant frequency, I'd have to find a cartridge with an even lower compliance... is t... | |
| Rega P2, Thorens TD-180 or Music Hall MMF-5.1? Again, thanks for the input!How does the Pro-Ject Xpression III stack up to the MMF-5.1 and Rega P2? Mika | |
| Eagles "Hotel California" reissue on Elektra 180g Yes, it's masterd from the original master tapes. I've tried two copies of the LP (first one had a clear defect on Track 1), and they both sound distorted on the inner tracks...Mika | |
| Rega P2, Thorens TD-180 or Music Hall MMF-5.1? Thanks for your response. I meant to say the Thorens TD190, if that changes anything. Mika | |
| Eagles "Hotel California" reissue on Elektra 180g Yes, several times. I'm using the Technics protractor from vinylengine.comMika | |
| Bird York She opened for Pink Martini at a concert in Redmond, WA a year or two ago. I really loved her music, so I bought the CD. The CD sounds Ok, but I enjoyed her live performance even better. It's always fun to find talented artists that are somewhat '... | |
| Heifetz' Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto Classic Rec Thanks for your message.Yes, I do clean all of my records with an Orbitrac 2 and the supplied fluid (alcohol base?) I also use Gruv-Glide before the first playing. Many of my older orchestral recordings have similar distortion that I had attribute... |
