You mean next comes electrostat speakers, that one's gonna hurt

I have been running them with a Stax SRD7-pro since I bought them in May; the integrated speaker amp is a push pull pentode amp. I've been enjoying the sound very much, though I am upgrading to a dedicated amp. But I'm not in any hurry to do so. YMMV I usually do these hifi purchases spaced far apart, unless something is really lacking. But so far my impressions are the same as the first day I heard them, I look forward to listening to the setup every evening

I have had a resident tell me she puts her makeup on in the car because rounds are very early. That is on the highway, since our hospital is right off the exit. I know you're joking, but not entirely fair to blame women. I have a friend that has $200+ a month cell phone bills that has been in probably three or four accidents in the last few years (male).

Marc said it should be able to do .5 mv, do you think there will be hiss problems running MC carts in that range? If I could I'd love to try the .48mv Bloom with the Pearl. I know my headphone amp will have sufficient gain.

How is that? Does it display album art on the display?

I believe MoFi received the master brickwalled, so there was nothing much they could do other than press the vinyl at a low volume to give the illusion that it isn't total junk. Ted Jensen one of the studio engineers commented about it on the Metallica forums according to someone at SH. edit: I don't know what came of this- but someone said Kevin Gray's initials were in the dead wax of the regular edition vinyl, but when asked he didn't comment

That's great. It was pretty appalling listening to needle drops of the MFSL vinyl that sounded worse than the CD

YGPM Nate.

Wow...I can't wait to compare this to my NAD PP-2

The vintage Klipsch are very rocking speakers. I'm pretty sure my friend has cranked his past 110 dB for prolonged periods of time at parties and nothing has happened to them.

Interesting. If I was going the Serac route the Artisan Audio would be the only affordable arm right now. Though I wonder how an RB300 compares to it. Sell them to me I think I'm very close to selling the MMF-5. As good as it is, I don't think these entry level belt drives can hold a candle to the entry level DDs. The speed stability for one thing is not that great on the MMF :/

I have only owned the SR-404...not even remotely close to the SR-007 MK1.

I'll dew the high bias and probably recable. First step is hearing them with the Stax transformer box. I have a lot of stuff I can sell, I think $5k is a decent budget for TT/arm. So on the shortlist is the Hyperspace and Galibier Serac. I can audition the Serac locally with my Stax setup which is a big plus. Realistically I should put the vinyl down and back away from the setup, these transient thoughts of grandeur really aren't good...

Awesome. When are you joining the electrostat side of the moon.

Personally I would not limit the SR-007 with a cheap or crappy source.

The SR-007 MK1 looove vinyl. I just spun Opeth's Deliverance (recent reissue) on my Music Hall and the bass and amount of extra detail was insane with the Stax Do I sell my North Star and Music Hall and over extend myself with a high end TT I probably shouldn't be buying...

His basement is going to flood then you'll be screwed

:rofl: Nah just curious how they'll sound with the B22.

Grado RS-1 (older with buttons)

Nice! I can't wait till I have some free time

Watched the most recent Entourage. And started watching this (new to me) series called Hustle that airs on BBC. A pretty slick show, I'm enjoying it very much.

One day when they are rare and sought after I will trade one for a 21" 6 lb pizza.

The d-_-b logo makes more sense than this right?
