    What's the best Mono cartridge?

    Hi All, It's been a while, so if this has already been covered please direct me to the proper link. I just hooked up a new Shelter 501 mk II Mono cartridge and started listening to some of the mono albums in my collection. I was stunned at how good these albums sound with a good mono...

    What's Everyone Reading

    Nuclear Jellyfish by Tim Dorsey. I'm a big fan of Florida writers and Tim Dorsey novels are laugh out loud funny. Anything from Carl Hiaasen, James Hall and of course all of the Travis McGee adventures by John D. MacDonald. Bartram In Florida. Non fiction. William Bartram was a great American...

    Jadis defy 7 adventures

    I'd like to thank Kevin Deal for his good advice and for the NOS tubes he sent me for my Cary SLP-98p. Even though I probably asked some really stupid questions, he steered me in the right direction. mep, glad you were able to fix your amp. Ray

    Vibrapod Cones

    I recently put a set of Nordost Quasar Points (4) between my Cary SLP-98 P and the second tier of an Adona stackable rack. This seems to work really well with the phono section of the preamp.

    Periphery Outer Ring Clamps

    Thanks guys, My TT is an international mutt. German motor, platter and base. British arm (RB 250). Italian cart (Blue Note). Other tweaks for this rig; Pro-Ject isolation stand and I found a Ginko dust cover for a Marantz TT that fits perfect. All this sits on the top tier of a three tier...

    Periphery Outer Ring Clamps

    I've been thinking about using an outer ring clamp on my modest Scheu Analog Cello turntable for some of my albums that are slightly warped. The only outer ring clamps I'd ever seen were on the VPI systems. I wondered if a VPI outer ring clamp would work on my TT. Then I was reading a thread...

    Looking For The Perfect Listening Chair

    I love my Ekornes Stressless "Ambassador". I was checking out the Theater group sets, but they would cost almost as much as my speakers. yikes! Ray

    DAC Recommendations

    Ken, I hear you on the price. It would take me a while to save up for that, but I'm wondering about the bang for the buck ratio and how much it's going to cost to get that analog warmth in my digital rigs. My preamp is a Cary SLP-98 P that feeds an Ayre V-5xe. Martin Logan Spires and Depth i...
