| Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment Kck, that Mcintosh had better be close fitting to keep out the cold breezes blowing around in the Atma-Sphere.Needless to say, It's dangerous in the Totem Forestanytime of year but Winter is by far the worst. I find the best protection during cold... | |
| CD or Phonograph for my Martin Speakers USA 206B ? Sorry electrikmagik, I automatically thought about Marten speakers from Europe. Their bottom of the line is $6500.00 and climb to $50K and beyond. Guess I must have been asleep, you typed Martin but I read Marten. From your response about the soun... | |
| Hum and noises in McCormack amp Guess I have to swap it out. That's unfortunate, because I like the black, it matches the rest of my gear :^). | |
| Hum and noises in McCormack amp Hey Steve, have you heard that new McCormack UDP-1 Deluxe (especially the one with black face plate)? | |
| Your music system is an instrument. Oh yea ??Well, have you ever heard of Albert Einstein?? I have the same first name as him, and he was really smart.Ever heard of Porter House steak? Well, I have the same name (NO, not steak). | |
| CD or Phonograph for my Martin Speakers USA 206B ? Which Martin speakers did you buy?As for which format is better for you, I would base that decision on software. Do you own primarily CD and thinking about playing with LP's for your music collection? As for what turntable is good, depends on budg... | |

If you cannot, I would probably go ... | |
| In the latest The Absolute Sound JtimothyaAlbert - I don't believe there is a non-motor-powered arm version of the Loricraft. Perhaps the pictures on your linked pdf for the Loricraft are "deceiving" as they show the pickup arm not attached to a motor. Actually, the bottom of the... | |
| In the latest The Absolute Sound I just did some research on the Loricraft and found this German review and images (PDF file)http://www.housetune.de/loricraft.pdfIt appears from the image of the arm that it does not have a motor powering it. This is in line with my experience in ... | |
| In the latest The Absolute Sound Great responses here, looks like Keith Monks did build later versions with motor for the thread. The machine I knew and used locally did not have this feature and I (wrongly) assumed all designs continued in this same way.I also did not know the L... | |
| In the latest The Absolute Sound Pcosta,Arturo at Axiss mentioned his Canada dealer on a couple of occasions and that they had purchased two of the latest versions, perhaps the store you mention is the recipient. The RCM from three years ago is a different model. I have no experi... | |
| In the latest The Absolute Sound Regarding Thomasheisig post.The cleaning machine from AP is based on the Keith Monks. Made from the former Importer of Keith Monks. The KM is absolutely the best machine ever made and this one is Version based on it. Different name.I agree, the pr... | |
| In the latest The Absolute Sound Maybe after the record cleaning review Arturo will want me to audition the Transrotor. I bought the record cleaning machine, so it's not on loan.I am assuming it is either a Clearaudio, Acoustech or Hanni. I have the Clearaudio Matrix and it is pe... |
