| "small profile" Center Channel I had the exact same situation, no room for center channel and in wall (B&W) speakers for HT. I settled on Dali IKON® Vokal 2, here is a photo of it in my system thread.http://cgim.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/vs.pl?vaslt&1022712214&viewitem&a... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Microstrip, Interesting reading. I don't know how serious I am about building a tube supply for Technics. I'm just a fan of what tubes do, especially in power supplies.Considering cost of the MK2 it's probably not a wise choice. If the supply cos... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI If I were still using a VPI, I would be all over that offer. Like rare records, when they're no longer available everyone is going to wish they had bought. | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI Rushton, that's a shame. I know Lloyd and he probably put a lot of time in development of that product. It looked like the answer for those with a VPI and multi stage cleaning fluids to make quick work of an otherwise slow job. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone The animals in my yard miss Lugnut feeding them while Cello, Vetterone and Nrchy were sitting on my sofa, listening to music.I can still hear Pat's laugh as he watched. A kind soul with a big heart, I think of him often. | |
| Herbie Hancock, River: The Joni Letters Several months ago I listened to preview clips at AMG and other music sites and concluded this was not an album I wanted. I'm not judging sonics, having listened only via internet but musically I heard enough. Like Detlof, I think It's way too com... | |
| Loading for Air Tight PC-1 Supreme The 47K will not work in my opinion. Tonal balance and distortion of the Air Tight is drastically changed with load. | |
| Loading for Air Tight PC-1 Supreme It somewhat depends on the phono stage. With my Aesthetix Io the best results are had at 121 ohms. Does your phono have tubes, FET or transformer for first stage gain? | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III LewmAlbert, Assuming I ever could find a Mk III, does it too have an oiled bearing, and does it require a shipping bracket for transport?There is no ship bracket but the platter must be removed before transport. Oil goes in the spindle at the top ... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Microstrip.The two voltages responsible for operation, +5 volt and +32.5 volt are the only important ones. The strobe is not necessary and most people agree it only adds noise.I wonder if it would improve performance of MK2 if a tube circuit were ... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Lewm, all the electrolytic caps in power supply should be replaced. If you do the job with Nichicon and Black Gates performance will go up and cost is still very low.I got mine from Mike Percy Audio, but there are dozens of suppliers out there tha... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Email me and I will give you names and email. From that point on, you can decide who you want to deal with.I'm out of it at that point, cover your butt, be cautious and ask questions before you wire money. |
