    MoFi Dire Straits 45rpms

    Hi I was more referring to the first 4 recently released on 45rpm but referencing Brother In Arms (BIA). A good point though as I was referring to the BIA 45rpm when compared to the double 33rpm you refer to. So, if you prefer the BIA 45 to the double 33 then I believe you'll prefer these 45's...

    MoFi Dire Straits 45rpms

    Good point! The short version is these are better than any versions I've heard. If you are impressed by the MoFi 45 of Brother In Arms then you will be with these. Very good mastering by MoFi and excellent pressings too. Money well spent/you won't be disappointed.

    MoFi Dire Straits 45rpms

    Woohoo! My Dire Straits MoFi 45rpms have arrived! Will put a couple through the RCMs and give them a spin. I'll report back on them. If they're anything like the 45rpm Brothers In Arms I'll be chuffed. And that was digitally recorded and it still sounds top-notch.

    Cost of Cartridge in relation to cost of TurnTable

    At the moment, if I work with US pricing: Turntable: 55% (SME 20/30) Tonearm: 25% (SME Series V) Cartridge: 20% (Windfeld Ti) I may have gone a bit OTT on cart but it sounds so good. MUCH BETTER than the Cadenza Black I upgraded from. I have only just run it in (50 odd hours) and it will still...

    Vivids ---- next logical upgrade --- So much want

    I have B1 Decades driven by Valve Audio Black Widow ((Balanced) Pre & (Single-ended) Power) and they sound terrific. I've never heard a Devialet and have no need to.

    Are CDs dead?

    I don't do streaming. Doubt I ever will. I seldom buy CDs but thats 'cause i buy records and sometimes downloads. I do know that both my (grown-up) kids are really looking forward to inheriting my record, SACD and CD collections. Not one of them have an eye on my hard drives of hi-res...

    Soundstage Direct

    Tom Petty - Live Anthology. It was advertised as "warehouse find - new old stock" so I took the leap. I then found out it was a re-issue and the shipping cost was silly so I requested a refund. If I recall the Box Set was $150 but courier was about $120. (I would have been willing to pay...

    Soundstage Direct

    Thing is, they were "reputable"... Other that Music Direct and Acoustic Sounds, they were the next biggest.

    Soundstage Direct

    Hi Anyone just been ripped off by Sounstagedirect.com? I have. Transaction is older than 2 months so no joy from credit card crowd. Site now redirects and according to other discussion groups, many others have been ripped off too. School fees... Beware of "reputable" online stores!

    When do you decide to replace your cartridge.

    Dear Mr G, I will take one please. Let me know when they arrive. Been keeping an eye on that since it was announced. I use a zero-dust but think this looks better. Safer. Thanks
