| Best Turntable for the Price - Linn Basik Wolf_Garcia,I am was bit surprised by your remark on the Mitchell clamp, since Linn recommends they not be used. I believe the Mitchell is light enough for the Basik's low torque motor, though. Interesting. What mat are you using? | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? That's the thing! The 95 uses the same Sabre 9018, it does not let you use it as a system DAC (not into that yet), have HDMI audio out (my receiver has no HDMI in) or support 4k video upscaling (I'm not even connecting to a TV!). I thought I could... | |
| Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range. Interesting, rlawry. Why not just but a couple f guitar amps and hook 'em directly to a preamp? I'm not being sarcastic. | |
| Long lost songs This almost qualifies. I fell in love wit a group called AUM almost 50 years ago. The album was Resurrection, the particular song was Today and Tomorrow. The electric guitar just drove into me, so I borrowed it from my older sister - permanently. ... | |
| Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range. witchdoctor1, which Tektons do you have? What's your room like? I was lusting for the Pendragon SEAS for my large, untreated basement. | |
| Phono cartridge advice Synergy is a real consideration. I have 2 V15 RS. One on a Linn Basik with an LVX. Ah! The synergy. I'm sure nothing could substantially improve it. I have 4 styli: the original HE that came with it, and an old replacement, not sure if its an HE o... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? If I wanted an Oppo BDP-105D for audio; (I do Santa) but wanted to save money; I'd look for a BDP-95, non Darbee. Not a BDP-103. But I have. They go for like $100 less than a 105. Crazy! | |
| Oracle Alexandria Question If any Alex fans are still out there, has anyone tried replacing the Groove Isolator with the new acrylic mat? The thing costs over $250. I won't buy it without hearing that it makes a big difference. | |
| Review: VPI Magic Brick Tweak I knew I should have stole some of that stuff back in 1985 when we were wrapping all our CRTs within the 5 Gauss field! | |
| Review: VPI Magic Brick Tweak Interesting. How do you A/B that? Is it an immediate effect? Why wouldn't an old transformer do the same thing? Maybe you'd have to remove the copper?dgarretson, all the microbearings I can find are high chrome content. Doesn't that reduce ferrom... | |
| Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range. I wonder if the OP is tired of us yet? | |
| Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range. I just heard back from NHT. THEY WERE ONLY CLOSED FOR A SHORT TIME IN 2009. I pray I have done them no damage! jonathan@nhthifi.com12:30 PM (56 minutes ago)Hi James,NHT shut down temporarily in 2009 but Chris who has since retired bought it back ... | |
| Best Turntable for the Price - Linn Basik Does anyone have any experience with a Jelco on the Basik?Also, why does the Basik sound so good? It's a mystery to me. The motor is nothing special, nor the suspension. Is it the lack of a separated arm board? The platter? It's not the felt mat. ... | |
| Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range. No other Canton fans?Tekton Lore are $1,100 delivered. Lore 2.0 are $900, and Lore Reference are $850.I may have told a fib on NHT. Their site is still up. I sent them an e-mail to see if they are actually delivering. | |
| Long lost songs I haven't thought about that LP in a long time. Hope it's still in one of the boxes. I better go find it! |
