postjack Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Well it would seem most prudent for any business owner wishing to enter this segment to hedge their bets and develop a music download branch as well. After all they have to license the music to produce the vinyl, why not the downloads as well? If supply of quality vinyl remains constrained and demand continues to be strong then eventually the price of vinyl will rise to the level that demand drops off precipitously because people can no longer afford those prices which in turn will leave the new vinyl business stuck with manufacturing assets with no resale market for those assets and plummeting vinyl sales/revenue. so you're saying this is obama's fault?

mikeymad Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Back to the main rig. Borodin symphony no 2 (lsc-2298) First spin of this recording. Very nice, super dynamic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PretentiousFood Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Just picked up a Rega Planar 3 as my first table for what seems like a good price (the Pro-ject Carbon is ~$550 here), but I'm a bit nervous about the tonearm/cart-- it's a Grace, maybe 747? Here's the original classified. Anyone know if the tonearm is any good? For whatever it's worth, it seems to be a pretty common "upgrade." The stylus is in dubious condition, so I may replace the cart if it isn't anything special. I'll be recabling it to balanced.

luvdunhill Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I like the RB300, not sure why people would consider the Grace an upgrade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I think I'll fall back on my traditional advice and suggest: try it, see if it's any good for yourself, before thinking about an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in this case, someone else has decided for him that an upgrade was needed. What then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironbut Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I imagine that most of you guys got the same Acoustic Sounds email I did. It announced the purchase of Doug Sax's The Mastering Lab/Sheffield Labs by Chad Kassem. The email included a link to an excellent video.

JimL Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Very interesting news! Back to the Grace arm on Pretentious Food's Rega 3, that looks like a G707, which was a low mass fixed headshell arm that Linn used to put on their LP12 turntables before they developed their own Ittok arm. It's a very good arm, I used one on a modified AR-XA turntable, then on a modern AR turntable which I eventually sold to my sister. As far as I know she still has it and it's still making music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PretentiousFood Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 There is a lot that's wrong with this picture, but, somehow, it sounds pretty nice. JimL, you were right-- it's a G707. The cart is a Nagatron 360CE which I suspect is past its best before date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
