Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund?
Ah, this thread brings back memories :) still loving my Technics Sp10 MK 3. I was playing it earlier today. I bought a (not yet delivered) technics SL1200 GAE to run as a dedicated mono table. I'm still planning to have my NG Table converted to a ... 
It's Back - Technics SL-1200 MKGAE
This is a 1200 in styling only. The newly designed coreless motor and magnesium arm should make for a great sounding table. I've placed an order for the GAE with an industry insider. I think this is a great price considering the tech involved. I h... 
AMR PH-77, ARC Reference 2, Allnic H-3000, Octave
The AMR PH77 is dynamic like crazy. When you have a major reviewer with a broken XLR ground lead (and he has reviewed countless phono stages without knowing his review tonearm (a very expensive tonearm has a disconnected ground) ) and he didn't  h... 
The one piece of gear you will never sell
Hi, I would say my very high maintenance pair of Graaf GM200's and the Graaf Modena. I would add my AMR PH77 and Reimyo PAT-777 :) I own a lot more gear but these are the pieces that I really don't see letting go. 
Review: iFi iPhono Preamplifier
Hi Jerry, first off I am glad the review has been helpful to you and I hope you're having a great 2016. Unfortunately I have not auditioned the Klyne and therefore can't intelligently speak to its abilities.I  will state again that you can't go wr... 
Why do I like Class AB better than Class A?
I also almost always prefer AB to pure class A. I do love my my Reimyo PAT 777 but it was purchased specifically to drive the ribbon teeters in my self designed 3 way active speakers. Push pull simply sounds more focused, and real in most cases to... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Timmvinyl:Hi and thanks for the compliment on the amp :) I am listening to it as I type this. I have never had the privilege of hearing your amp but I know it has a large following :) You are correct in that the Reimyo was designed around the WE30... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
I have read this thread with some interest as one of my amps is a Reimyo PAT 777 (best 300B amp I have ever heard) which I have tubed with the awesome and incredibly rare AVVT C37 300BSL (I have a spare pair) tubes. I wonder if anyone has any real... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Only thing I want to point out is that the PS Audio units have linear power supplies which is great. I have a NO (or at least very limited) SMPS acceptance policy. I can ALWAYS hear them doing bad things to other gear. Some are much less offensive... 
Speakers that work best for Reimyo PAT 777 300B
I'm using AVVT 300B SL and AVVT C37 300B Sl tubes to fantastic results!!! 
Evaluation of the Coincident Statement Phono Stage
Arthursalvatore: Hi. I want to say that this was a review of my impressions of the Coincident CSPS, not a commentary on the efficacy of SUT's. I waited for a long time to read a non-pro review of the CSPS and when it didn't happen I took it upon m...

SoundSmith Sassuro Paula and Manley Steelhead
Krell303: Hi, just an FYI, that value should be 979 ohms. A good rule of thumb is that the resultant resistance whenever you parallel values will always be smaller than the lowest resistor value :) the formula should be Rt = R1*R2 / R1+R2 or1/Rt... 
Evaluation of the Coincident Statement Phono Stage
Sunnyboy1956:Is it possible that what your hearing are the possibly higher performing transformers in the ST80 as opposed to the in-built SUT's on the MC input of your VPS? 
Evaluation of the Coincident Statement Phono Stage
Dougdeacon:Thank you for your words as my sole intent was to be accurate and fair as I shared my insights. I have found others (non-professional) reviews to be extremely helpful from time to time and wanted to receiprocate. Happy listening!
