the Cambridge 640p is under $200 and supposedly a really decent phono. really interesting... KG two; earl zero ( miss information ) bet that's not entirely true too, though, I can't prove it.

Superb Cert Diamonds They've got awesome hearts and arrows diamonds and their online documents and photos are the best I've seen. I bought from them. Vatche offers some very nice settings and they manufacturer the Tiffany Lucida setting, which is similar to the Vatche X-Prong. Pricescope is a really good diamond forum.

i like it stock. it's already a really good combo and probably the master chefs at mcdonalds tested many nuts and different coatings before arriving at this particular one.

it's really good! seriously, i just had one. the apples were crispy and tart, grapes plump, firm and juicy, nuts crunchy and sweet, and the yogurt creamy, smooth and not too sweet. (i've had it before, yet it's been many moons since i've been to mcdonalds.)

that's something i would really like to hear and unless something is wrong the vinyl without question should sound superior. reading about the SH/KG stuff makes me want a TT.

so very true! mastering is key for cds and lps. i've heard bad masterings on both especially new releases and some reissues. vinyl is much more likely to have sound quality issues as a result of the pressing process. cds can get the life compressed out of them whereas vinyl can't get pushed as far and typically sound better. though, older original released cds sound pretty decent as do german and japanese pressings and some actually sound incredible especially played on the right source. buying new vinyl that's been digitally remastered or recorded in digital isn't ideal. most of my cds were purchased prior to 2000 and my favorites back around the late 80's so i am lucky in that fact and now i am really researching then hunting down the best release i can find. i would love to hear MFSL, SH, and KG on vinyl, yet fine tuning a vinyl rig can be a challenge in that one has to match table, arm, cart, phono stage, etc to ensure it sounds right. i've heard expensive vinyl rigs with noticeable roll off and bloated bass among other issues. i am not familiar with that thump cd and vinyl, but i would sure like to compare my source against a mid-level vinyl rig proper set-up to hear it back-to-back then make a conclusion.

thanks! i'll definitely read up on them..., not!

thought about going that route, but based on my reading buying something like that on eBay could easily turn into a major headache and money pit. i don't have the experience or patience to do it so i'd hire professionals to help me and it could easily exceed my budget. if i do vinyl again, i want an extremely easy set-it and forget-it turntable and rega for better or worse fits the bill. additionally, i can listen to what it sounds like before i pull the trigger and the P5 seems well suited for classic rock. i'm still undecided if i even want to go back down this road again. i sit and listen to my cdp-77 and think, why?

i don't, but sushi terms i know. i clicked the link and believe the japanese text is all question marks.

i would still like to listen to one, but can't justify or swing the hefty price coupled with the fact the laser needs to be replaced every 4 to 6 years done only in japan at the factory and owner pays both ways and what if they go out of business... \

will do, but only my amp and whatever lp i selected would be the same.

thanks, for putting things in perspective. i've got about 40 of my favorite albums, but even the 15 or so new LPs could probably use a wet cleaning. i'll select a few and make the trip, should probably bring my amp and cans too.

reading all the vinyl praise starts my wheels spinning every time. over the past few weeks, i did a bit of vinyl research and price checking and thought a rega p5 w/ power supply, exact cart and the cambridge 640p is a nice relatively no fuss package that i can get new for under $1500. but the question remains will it sound better than my reimyo. i've a hard time thinking it would, though, it might sound different or better in some regards, yet it might not in others. something tells me i would need to get a really high end vinyl rig to equal or better my digital source. i've been putting it off, but i've got to make a trip to Brooks Berdan to give the P5 a listen. life is so simple with cds.

twisted! are you taking a course? i suggest you do so. i highly recommend testmasters and if you can take it with Robin Singh. yeah, but not today. but of course.

exaggerated claims

vinyl is so appealing, but such high maintenance.

i love the wood on the w5000s. couldn't get a seal with them, disappointing. i didn't like the raptor much, thought the mpx3 with nos tubes and ec2a3 where both superior.

ain't that the truth! not that the people suck, but the thing they like certainly might.

i smoke sometimes, but i only buy a few packs a year. i can just drop it and go months without.

or cancer is another option. the greatest risk for bladder cancer is smoking and having that shit removed comes with nice sexual side effects.
