| Questions about and source for Kuzma Reference tt Lewm,I've heard the Kuzma Stabi XL with AirLine arm in a completely familiar situation over a period of eight months or more. Short answer, it's a state of the art combo and among the best ever made (in my opinion). If you want a highly detailed r... | |
| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? Wagzel:Your link leads to some great quality Pass and Seymore outlets but only one model (the 6-20 R) is designed to prevent it being used with a common 120 Volt household plug.Murphy's law: IF someone can plug into an outlet..... they will.Sure, ... | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? Agree with the other Walker owners, I've had mine for 8 years and adjustments are a set and forget affair. Tracking force is something I check every few months (Winds 1/100th gram) and variation is less than 1/100th of a gram this past year.The pr... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Nate, do you remember what a kick Pat got out of seeing all the birds and squirrels that live in my front yard?Pat literally laughed out loud when he saw I could call Squirrel girl down from tree to retrieve a slice of bread. I know, it's silly am... | |
| Beating the specs You're kidding, right? | |
| Beating the specs A Yamaha car stereo has better specifications than a VTL 750 amp, which would you prefer driving your speakers?Funny too you mention the McCormack UDP-1. I have the Deluxe version and it's the best CD player I've ever had in my system. I've had pl... | |
| Different CD Player I auditioned the Cary 303/200 in my own system and although it was good, no contest against the McCormack UDP-1 Deluxe which I tried and kept.The McCormack is ULTRA clean and neutral, neither warm nor cold and has a precise, very clean and pretty ... | |
| Balanced in phono stages preamp? Herman, I think I agree with you :^).I have some balanced stuff and run it with balanced cable because I think it's a little bit better that way.But who knows, perhaps if it had been designed from day one as single ended it would sound better than... | |
| Where did tracking error go? Eldartford, excellent answer. Linear tracking may not be perfect but superior in every way to cutting across a circle with a circle (round LP with pivoting arm). | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Nauga's are now on the endangered species list. UniRoyal stopped breeding them and they are all but gone now.Nauga | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? If I imagine a world without vinyl, I imagine the death of high end audio. How many audiophiles will we loose when it is finally (erroneously) accepted that Digital is better than vinyl?I heard not without sadness a couple of months ago a friend t... | |
| why are most new releases going to four sides? so much for a 'long player'. the pops, clicks, and other assorted defects are much clearer.Jaybo, maybe it's your Thorens turntable that needs upgrading?I don't have those problems other than a RARE once or twice an evening "click" at some point i... | |
| why are most new releases going to four sides? I agree with Larryi, getting up ever so often to swap LP sides is no big deal for me, I need the exercise anyway. However, sound quality is extremely important to me, so much so that when a title is available in 45 RPM format I purchase it instead... | |
| Richard Gray's 400 Pro = Emperor's New Clothes?? Definitely get help from a big commercial electrical contractor, sit down with the lead man or manager and let them know up front, exactly what your goals are. If the contractor argues, says you don't need it or does not care, then shop until you ... | |
| Richard Gray's 400 Pro = Emperor's New Clothes?? I don't know where you live or what standard the PUC holds over your electrical supplier so my answer may not apply to your situation. I'll describe my situation and the experience I gained from going through the chain and hopefully that will help... |
