| Anti skating SME V @Opus88, Thanks for the clarification. I always thought that the V series was one of the few with a fixed headshell. Ciao,Audioquest4life | |
| Anti skating SME V I thought all SME V's were fixed headshells! The SME IV.V has a removeable headshell. Also, check the fluid in the damper. Ciao,Audioquest4life | |
| Magnepan 3.7 Another review from Audioreview:http://reviews.audioreview.com/blog/category/bloggers/atomicadam/Sounds very interesting.When will Magnepan update the webpage? The show is over. | |
| transport tube amp I have transported my tube amps with the driver tubes in my car on the highway after I have packed them in the original boxes. You can transport the amp with tubes for any distance as long as the roads are not crater filled and have many potholes ... | |

| Component racks I just ordered the "Rock" equipment platform from this German company: http://www.akustik-manufaktur.de/13.html (use google chrome to translate). Depending on your budget the products look like they might be a nice addition for almost any system. ... | |
| The Hub: It's SHOWTIME! Preview of CES and THE If anyone is going, please check out the Octave and Dynaudio rooms and provide feedback about the Octave setup and sound. I cannot make it again this year. I am anxiously awaiting the reports of the new Octave Phono module and of the new Magnepan ... | |
| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 If you are going to the CES in Vegas, I just read that Octave is doing a demo of the V40 and the MRE 130 with the Saphire speakers."Octave Audio will be exhibiting in Venetian Suite 30-230, and company founder and chief engineer Andreas Hofmann wi... | |
| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 I think I can answer that question. As you move up the line in the integrated and into the MRE 130 mono amps, the designer has chosen to step up the plate voltage as you step up into the bigger models. I have the specs for the integrated's, I will... | |

| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 That is too bad. It would be great to hear some comments from others who have heard each of these products. Usually, that is very rare. The Octave line is very new in the Unoted States and thus unfortunately it will be hard to find dealers with th... | |
| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 Handsomeck, Sorry, I have not had a chance to audition Naim separates. I have owned in the past a pair of Bryston 4BSST's to drive the B&W N800's and although it was a good combination, it was not as musical as the Octave was on those speakers... | |
| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 You will have no issues driving the Dynaudio Confidence C1 with the Octave integrated amplifier. In fact, Octave has been using Dynaudio speakers to demo their products in many of the German audio shows I have attended. See this link for a review ... | |
| Aesthetix IO Signature upgrade path? Hi Albert, Thank you for your thorough reply. I was interested in your thought process as to why you switched to another phono stage. Space alone is a compelling reason for many not to get the full blown version of the IO, in addition to the added... | |
| Aesthetix IO Signature upgrade path? Hi Albert, Interesting comment:"I only swap equipment for superior performance and/or reliability."I guess that means you are suggesting that the Alnico is better in some ways that the IO did not do it for you. And this was after you had both powe... |
