Moj, baby: You're so often correct here, that I hate to disagree. You're making a big assumption about having a sense of humor and confusing that with being unhinged. Nice try, though.

I just noticed, you spelled "gave" with a "q." It's odd, the posts appear sans serifs, but there are serifs when you're typing a post.

Hey Bob,
I can see the serif. It's a g. The q looks different.
Time for the reading glasses. . .

Bob, I, like bbigwyrs, have a sense of humor and I am completely unhinqed.

Oh, well I guess that's OK, then.

On the topic of Vinyl have any of you heard of the New Fluance tables on kick start.
Another Canadian company looks pretty nice they have 2 options coming.

I've frequented some of my Indie Record shops for years some of the prices have gone crazy even for newer release L.P.s

Why anyone would want to listen to vinyl is beyond me. Seriously...have people gone effing nuts? Why not just listen to CDs with a carpet over your speakers?

Well Mojo, vinyl can sound great, especially with enough tubes in the signal path. I have an MMF 7.2 table with a Mojo cartridge. Sounds great ... rich, warm, and kinda 'you are there.' No crackles, hiss or pops, as long as you keep your vinyl clean.

Does not sound like my M100s are carpeted.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with a well recorded CD. I rarely have the time to kick back and listen to music. Usually, just background tunes from cable. Tonight, I put on Tchaikovky's 1812 Overture and Copeland'Fanfare CDs. First time I have worked out the M100s and EP500. WOW! There's nothing wrong with CDs. I have stunned myself and guests with the tube amp 2.2 channel system playing the SACD Power of the Orchestra, an incredible recording of Mussorgsky/Rimsky Korsikoff by the London Philharmonic (maybe the Rotal).

On the other hand, Dean Martin, Getz Jobim, Sketches of Spain, sound great on vinyl. Try some well recorded vinyl on a nice system ... you might just change your mind Mojo.

Because Vynils is best. And for free comes poples and snaps so you know is not reel music.

An Mp3 and C.D. is basically putting carpets over your speakers.
Even my C.D.s don't have the same dynamics as the same records,
Have been listening to my new Fluance RT81 for a couple weeks and wow does it ever out perform all my sony C.D. players and DACs

P.S. Be sure to clean your records and you won't have any hisses or crackles or even snaps.
