TW Raven Acustic AC Owners
I have a Clearaudio MontBlanc dedicated turntable stand and it never ceases to amaze me, I can play music loud until their is bass in your chest and the Transrotor Apollon / Clearaudio rack combination are something I never have to worry about. I ... 
CES Day 1 Photo Gallery
The smaller Transrotor is a picture of the same one I have, the Apollon with carbon-acrylic sandwich construction. I would like to see that one hit a mainstream review, besides the one I posted. Ciao,Audioquest4life 
life without audio dealers
After reading these posts I would like to add that if the manufacturer became the primary source of sales for the audiophile/customer, then we would all lose out. The reasons are several, first off, the direct sales will have to also rely on stock... 
Von Schweikert VR4-JR
This sounds like a potential resonance issue at the tweeter during certain frequencies and sound pressure levels. I would check all connections, from amps to speakers, from pre to amps and whatever else you have. Use a set of headphones to see if ... 
Benz Ebony LP loading
Hi Markd51,That is what I was saying to do, back off the tracking force from whatever setting you are using now and do it gradually. I may have gotten a little long winded in my last post trying to explain all of the minute things I have experimen... 
Benz Ebony LP loading
If your experimentations with gain does not reveal satisfying results, I would look at the finer details of the mounting of the benz LP. I have commented before in other posts, the LP is sensitive to tracking force and also to VTA. If the LP is se...

Confusion about "high-end" racks
I use the Copulare racks hand made in Germany. I thought about all of the issues already mentioned here, vibration control, weight support, aesthetics etc. I realized that the only choice was that something that would at least dampen the electroni... 
Benz Ebony LP loading
When I first had the Benz LP new, I used 390 or 410 I forgot what the Aesthetix IO setting was, however I now use 1000ohms and it seems to work perfectly. I have not tried higher numerically numbers since the 1000 seems fine to me. The users manua...

Review: Transrotor Apollon Turntable
Thank you for your response. I am actually the same guy, the review here is the same as the one in Vinyl Asylum, I thought it would be great to share it here as a seperate review. Thanks, Audioquest4life 
Aesthetix Io Sig vs Manley Steelhead-opinions pls
I cannot comment on the Manley, however, the Aesthetix IO Signature is an outstanding device when you desire an all out assault on vinyl. It leaves me missing nothing. I have seen various posts in this forum about IO versus other phono stages, the...

hifi audio in movies
I saw a Clearaudio master reference on a Clearaudio Montblanc stand. I have the same stand, so I really jumped out of my chair when I saw that. The movie was good too. Ciao,Audioquest4life
