| Guess who has new speakers in their lab? THE Sonus Faber...yawn. Jay is quite fortunate to have such opportunity to play with audio excess. Post Serblin SF just isn't exciting IMO. | |
| Listening position/speaker position The Cardas speaker calculator would have your speakers about 6.5 ft from the front wall and 4ft from the side wall. Not for a living space. If you have the dedicated room, possibly noticeable sonic upgrade. Speaker Placement | Cardas Audio Scro... | |
| New phono stage arrived Good that you found something less expensive that agrees with your ears. The specs/reviews and cost suggest the Melto will support a table/cart setup multiple levels of an entry level Rega. Interesting that no WOW moments were heard using it. ... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Ultradeck I gave the Ultradeck spin just before it was introduced 6 years ago. Now a great deck at the closeout price. Worthy of a $1K or so cart as long as you have an equally competent phonostage. | |
| Advice needed on upgrading tonearm for VPI SCOUTMASTER If it's just the same arm "updated " I would just try a new cart. Wouldn't a VPI upgrade would be the 10"3d. I don't know if that's an option-armboard? | |
| Midnight Special -Dept store R&R article Humble Pie once played a set at the Biba department store in London for The Midnight Special, and it's good | Louder (loudersound.com) I wonder if it was filmed during shopping hours? Imagine shopping with mom for a pair of Levi's and su... | |

| Power cable suggestions for Pioneer turntable Consider a new cartridge. The power cable for your turntable is doing its job-provide power for the motor. It's not a tone control. | |
| AT-OC9XMLvs AT-OC9XSH Just adding to lewm's comments regarding the AT ART7 Still available http://www.lpgear.com/product/ARART7.html If I recall, used to retail for around $700 years ago? I didn’t poke around enough on the site, but perhaps the ART9 1ST gen is ... | |

| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Wow.. thread gained traction quick! Exile- best of the Mick Taylor years. indifferent on Joni's catalogue. | |
| AT-OC9XMLvs AT-OC9XSH "Still, I can't imagine you'd be happy with the results" The OP was previosly satisfied with the OC9. The ART9 has extensive positive user threads here, and other forums. Cart choice like many things audio, is just personal ear preference. | |
| AT-OC9XMLvs AT-OC9XSH Don't want to spend the extra money for the ART9? Noticeably refined at least compared the the previous OC9 version. | |
| Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable Nordost threads rarely stay on track. I use Heimdall II wall to speaker. Best to just try, then decide. One certainty-Nordost level Norse and beyond is a wallet draining exercise. | |
| Turntable advice I'm a long time VPI user, but I'd go with the PF based on what I've seen/heard. I'll let others comment on technical superiority on which is "better?" To my ears, both can be satisfying limited by choice of phonostage, which you'll want to a... |
