| MM cartridge for WT Amadeus turntable Thanks guys, I'm encouraged to stick with my cartridge. | |
| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? Well, I finally DID investigate stand-alone phono stages and I am now a very happy owner of a Graham Slee Reflex phono MM stage with it's PSU1 power supply. Simply brilliant! I think I got it right in terms of the best place to put my money. The s... | |
| Who listens only to vinyl? It's a really good point.....that chasing vinyl can open one up to previously unknown musical riches and encourages whimsical exploration.My discoveries: original Fifties mono vocal jazz recordings on the Bethlehem label, and most of Bruno Walter'... | |

| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? Thanks David, for your perspective on the V15 versus 2M Black. Yes, if I was to invest upwards of $600 on a new cartridge, it had better be a startling upgrade!I'm slowly getting the impression that my cartridge is already near the high end of the... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? a Neko Audio D100 might be very attractive, paired with my 640c. I wonder how it might compare to the Rega DAC, which is described as having a similar soundscape?In a DAC-CDP configuration, how important is the mechanical player in contributing to... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? I meant CDP! | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? Thanks Realhifi. The Linn DS unit is out of my reach. Perhaps this kind of unit will enter mainstream mid-fi in the future. I hope so.Do you think the Cambridge 640c kind of presentation is last-generation technology which is now clearly eclipsed ... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? So far, I like the idea of a CDR with a tube output stage. From comments here and elsewhere, it seems that it might shift the listening experience closer to the joy I get from vinyl. I'm pondering the options, but the Jolida sounds compelling.I wa... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? Lowrider57, I'm really glad to hear of your experiences with the same music that I play! This gives me confidence to look in the Jolida direction, thanks a lot.The tube CDP option is why I also wondered about the Decware player. It seems to have g... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? Tgrisham, you say you liked your Jolida tubed CDP......I assume you moved onwards from there. Did you compare it to other players, and can you talk about its sound?Thanks | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? Rok2id, your response is reasonable. But I would like to enjoy some of the many recent CD issues. I have a dumb faith that there IS a CD player out there I'll enjoy. Chuck, I think you are right and streaming is a viable way to go for the future..... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? Thanks, I'm of a mind that down the road a bit, CDs are going to enter the domain of media-of-the-past. Since there are so many years of published titles on regular CD, they are going to be available one way or another for decades, new or used. I ... | |
| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? It seems like a significant shift upwards from my Shure v15 IV/Jico SAS might be an Ortofon 2M Black, used with my Cronus phono section (this is the MM direction) or, for similar outlay, an Ortofon Rondo Red MC with a cheaper phono MC preamp such ... | |
| DNM Stereo speaker cables-experiences? It's a couple of weeks down the road, and I've done extended listening with DNM stereo speaker cables versus high end stranded cables.I must say overall I prefer the sound of the DNMs. My initial thoughts were that something was lost in terms of f... |
