| Stanalog - Still in business ? Having owned a Well Tempered and having dealt with George more than once, communication with him can be maddeningly slow at times. I don't think he has a secretary or any staff - I'm pretty sure it's just him. Of course, that's no excuse for poor ... | |
| Best Used SET tube amp. under $1000 I realize it's an SEP rather than an SET, but my Almarro A205A MkII sounds great with my Druids, and even with new tubes and upgraded output caps comes in well under $1K. It includes a volume control if you need it in your single source scenario.D... | |

| Best 27' speaker stands? Aren't the LSA1s very similar to the Von Schweikert VR-1s? If so, I highly recommended the VR stands. I owned a pair when I had my VR-1s, and they were both very solid and very stylish for not much money. There are a couple pairs sale right now - ... | |
| Cartridge for Thorens TD-160 Viridian is completely wrong on this one! The best gravy is my mother's roast beef gravy, over barely mashed potatos with a little pepper. If there's an audiophile gravy, it's my mother's.:-) | |
| Cartridge for Thorens TD-160 I agree with Viridian that a high compliance cartridge is the way to go with the TP-16 arm. I tried my Denon 103R and it wasn't very good, even after adding weight to the headshell. I've had both the Shure V15 and the M97, and for the extra money ... | |
| MMF 2.1 azimuth/tonearm lifter problem JohnnypeepersNow I remember - the cueing platform on the MMF 2.1 tonearm is actually attached to the tonearm. I had to put a pad on top off the cueing piston ("bolt") to keep the arm from being pulled sideways by the antiskate when the arm was low... | |
| MMF 2.1 azimuth/tonearm lifter problem My mistake - what you did is definitely azimuth - they must have added that adjustment since I owned my MMF 2.1. Given that, what I don't understand is how adjusting the azimuth could change the cueing level. I suppose having azimuth dead straight... | |
| MMF 2.1 azimuth/tonearm lifter problem 1) You adjusted VTA (vertical tracking angle), not azimuth. Azimuth is not adjustable on the MMF2.1.2) VTA is different for every cartridge. Adjusting to parallel to the record, as you did, is a good place to start. Do a search and you'll come up ... | |
| HD Radio...anyone heard any in home tuners? Kenyonbm,The bit rates would have to differ, as the HD maximum bitrate is 96k.David | |
| Duende vs Halo Tube Rings I have to agree with Elizabeth on this one, it's worth trying the inexpensive solution first. I got 50 industrial grade silicone o-rings from here:>www.marcorubber.com/material_selection.htmfor $10 plus shipping. I had a preamp with all octal t... | |
| Elvis - 30 Years Ago Today, RIP Viridian,What was Elvis doing in Portland? When he filled my car up with gas last summer he was still in Kalamazoo. He said he'd worked at the WalMart there but had to quit because the health care benefits were lousy, what with his high blood pres... | |
| Zu Druid questions Jack_dotson,What amp did you end up with? Did you stay with the Acurus, or go to something else? | |
| Apple iPhone Sound Quality? The iPhone has the same Wolfson 8758 DAC as the latest generation Video iPod, so it should sound similar if not the same. |
