I bought my Goldring from Audio Advisor. It looks very similar to a Rega P2. Uses the RB-250 arm. A bit more plastic than the Rega. No VTA but weight, anti skating, and azimuth are adjustable. MDF platter. Record mat will need to be replaced or flattened Speed is slightly uneven - I can hear...
I just bought a Goldring GR-1 turntable (RB-250 arm, Elektra cartridge). Amp is a Onkyo SR500 receiver; speakers are Wharfedale Diamond 8.2. What phono stage would you recommend for this turntable?
eddieZEN I have been very pleased with the Diamonds. They are biwired with Cat5 Plenum. I also have the Diamond Centre. They sound tight with solid state especially when given a firm kick (Roksan Kandy amp) but even well above their price with my mass-market receiver. They are muddy when...

How do these compare to the XRCDs released by JVC for these titles? I've previously done comparisons for the JVC XRCD and RCA RBCD for several Living Stereo titles, and the XRCD was worlds better - mainly in terms of depth and texture, RBCD was lifeless. Even at double the price, JVC was...

I'm moving into a smaller space with noise limitations so will need to do more headphone listening. My source will be Music Hall CD25; using the headphone amp in my Onkyo receiver. I critically listen mostly to classical, opera, vocal jazz and Alison Krauss. Headphones needs to sound good...

If I can just add on to this thread (still related to country music) what is available on hi-rez (SACD, DVD-A, 180g LP) in the country genre? I have the Shania Twain DVD-A ("Up!") but is there anything else released yet?
I use the analogue outs on my Music Hall CD25 since my receiver doesn't support HDCD (the Music Hall has a much better DAC anyways). I have 18 HDCD titles. All the classical titles are from Elusive Disc. The others came from BMG Music Service and Circuit City. Those Reference Recordings...

Antennas are perhaps more important but in your price range I would go for Cambridge Audio, NAD or Parasound tuners. Not Sony based on a recent audition. This would be my choice: http://audioadvisor.com/store/produc...0AM/FM%20Tuner Pair it with a Fanfare antenna and you'll be set

I bought her "Etterna" album on DVD-A from Circuit City (online). It works _very_ well in multichannel. I prefer her previous album "Carmine Meo". Hopefully that will be released in multichannel.
