Soliciting Cairn Fog v3 and Unico CD impressions

Forums
Digital Sources
Submitted by ChiDave1 on

I'm considering replacing my Fog v3 with the Unico CD. The Cairn is very "musical" and being "in the music" is a good description most of the time. But, I know it places an unusual emphasis on certain parts. This drives me crazy when I "know" a song should sound different, e.g. the rhythm guitar should be further in the background.
I want another CDP with digital inputs and am very happy with my Unico SE integrated, which has put the Unico CD at the top of my list.

HDtracks... Greedy Jerks

I saw the advertisement for HDtracks on the Stereophile Newsletter. I decided to give it a try so I registered on their website. HDtracks sent me a promotional code for 15% off (whoopee do!) my next purchase. Two days later I went to buy a complete album download for $15.99 and the promontional code DID NOT work. I e-mailed customer service. It took them more than 3 days to respond and they basically told me...sorry pal but that promotional code is expired. They did not send me a new promotional code..GREEDY JERKS! That is a horrible way to treat a customer.

If you like freak shows, then the current travails of the Republican Party are incredibly sweet. Marc Sanford’s <I>“I’m gonna try and fall back in love with my wife”</I> nonsense [need dental work? try repeating that one to your wife?], Palin’s rambling, basketball&#150;and&#150;dead fish&#150;laden resignation speech, and now the pride of Long Island, U. S. Rep. Peter King, calling Michael Jackson names on the day before he is buried. “Lowlife,” “pedophile,” “child molester,” oh yeah, King hit `em all. The run of bad news on Jackson is about to begin again&#151;his toxicology report is gonna cause a circus, not to mention the end of several medical careers&#151;so I’m thinking King coulda waited a day or two before giving us another dose of some righteous Republican extolling the heroism of firefighters, cops and soldiers. The fact that all three of those professions are paying gigs&#151;no one is being drafted lately&#151;is clearly beside the point for King. And okay, we all know Jackson had some unhealthy sides to his life, but couldn’t King have waited a day or so before becoming a new hero to the haters in the Republican Party. The appetites for hating and hypocrisy in the GOP are apparently insatiable. I loved it when one of King's colleagues questioned whether this outburst would help or hurt King by saying that it might help if has a lot of racists in his district.

newbie question - turntables

The Entry Level
Submitted by King99 on

I have recently entered the wonderful world of tubes via a PrimaLuna Prologue 1 and am now looking to compliment it with a nice turntable. I am considering the Rega P3-24 (my price range is $1,000). In terms of a suitable phono cartridge for this table, what would those of you in the know suggest/recommend? I don't want to spend more than will be worthwhile given the price of the TT - maybe $100-$150? Also, I've heard that one of the downsides to TT's is that the cartridge only lasts a couple hundred hours before needing to be replaced. Any truth to this?

Thanks!
