RE: 501, 901, Koetsu Rosewood...

Posted by amandarae on November 26, 2009 at 16:09:42:
To name a few I can still remember:

Linkwitz Orion Plus, ATI 6012, Supratek Preamp (Current)
MLTL base Fostex 167E (current)
Bozak Rhapsody and Concert Grand (sold it last year!)
Magnepan (1.6Qr x2), Martin Logan Aerius, Aeons, Ascents - All gone now!
SET base 2A3/45 driving OB Altec 604-8G (current)

Amps I had: Threshold S500, S250 Odyssey Mono Blocks, MR RM200, Cary V12
CJ MV 60SE and Premier 9.

Frankly, can't remember all the gears that had come and gone from my listening room anymore.

I listen to 80's pop (about 300 records and counting so far), have a collection of 40;s, 50's and 60's Jazz. Also rock (ACDC, Scorpions, Pink Floyd Jetro Tull, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heap, Iron Maiden, etc.). Have 28 Music Matters Jazz releases not counting AP records and Classis Jazz releases (Jazz probably about 1500 records). Classical is probably around 100 records or so. Also have several hundreds of CD's as well of different genres..

To me, if we are splitting hairs, I like the Shelter 501 much better than the 901. But to my preference, I can get the same satisfaction running Denon 103 series. So I figure, what's the point of keeping the carts un-use while if I really like too, I can get the same one in the use market easily. Besides, I think I am moving to classic Ortofon SPU's before buying any other cartridge manufactured today. I do not know, but I subscribed to the old thinking that every thing else in audio was figured out many years ago, at least that's what my experience led me to believe after falling over and over again from the fast moving merry go round of audio upgrades due to the "flavor of the month" raves that I encountered.

To each his own.

Happy Thanksgiving!
