| Lyra Kleos Repair So just an update for everyone, I got my 2 cartridges back from Andy Kim at the needle clinic. He wasn't cheaper, it was actually more expensive than Soundsmith. He quoted me $500 USD for the Delos and $400 for the Benz for what I thought was go... | |
| Lyra Kleos Repair I'm not rich, I get so sick of the rip offs in this hobby!! It seems like almost everyone thinks about how much money they can suck out of you. | |
| Lyra Kleos Repair That's exactly what I expected! 2700$ for a retip is sheer madness. They can bs all they want about all the other inspecting they are going to do but it is not worth quarter of that. Also why is the cost for his kleos almost double the cost of my... | |
| Sunfire Classic Vacuum Tube Preamplifier: Yes/No? Heard it and loved it. | |
| Which phono preamplifier do you recommend? Herron vtph 2 does kick ass but is out of the op's budget. If I were shopping in that range I would buy the bottlehead Eros at $700. In fact someone compared it to the vtph2 and it was only a whisker behind. I built the bottlehead Beepre and it is... | |
| Lyra Kleos Repair I have a Lyra Delos that needed rebuild so I contacted audioquest. The price for rebuild was more than I paid for it new. Total ripoff. I sent to Andy at the needle clinic but have not got it back yet. | |
| Tonearm recommendation Crazy bill if you have a 66S keep it! Also have to agree with another poster that you may be well served to audition some other phonostages, no insult intended. If I could humbly recommend the Herron vtph2. Also agree with atmasphere regarding th... | |
| Is the main reason audio equipment depreciates so much is #4they would like you to think technology is always changing but it is just the same old recycled circuits | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Bottlehead. I have the Beepre preamp and it killed something four times the price. | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money My vote would go to The bottle head beepre. 1300 USD. it absolutely killed a vacuum state svp2 in my system. The retail on that was around 7K I believe. Next I would vote for the ET 2 tonearm. | |
| Experiences buying used cartridges Qdrone the problem is that if a certain amount of time goes by you cannot leave feedback for a transaction. I believe this is why GRGaudio ignored my first three or four emails. By the time I had it looked at and verified that it was toast I coul... | |
| Сhoice preamp If You're not up to giving bottle head a try, out of the three you have mentioned I would agree with the MacCormack and the audible allusions. I have not heard of the odyssey. | |
| Сhoice preamp Just to give a point of reference to the previous post my system consists of the top-of-the-line Sophia electric 845 mono blocks and tannoy Yorkminster SE speakers. For source I am mainly vinyl with a Van den hul xgp colibri cartridge ET 2 combo o... | |
| Сhoice preamp I bought a bottlehead beepre with the attenuator upgrade. It is World class. You need to get the attenuator upgrade and you need to get the weight rings for the tubes to get rid of microphonics. Once you do that it would be difficult to find anyth... | |
| Everyone is selling their Ayre QB-9 DSD's?? I don't know about the others but I am just going to sell mine as I'm going to get out of digital altogether. |
