| What has been your most satisfying component? The component that has been in my system the longest is the pair of MC501 monoblocks. I just can't imagine ever needing/wanting to replace them.The second longest component is my Platine Verdier. Again, don't know why I'd ever want a different TT ... | |
| Feedback on Audiogon What makes you say you can't leave negative feedback?I've seen lots of members with some negative transaction feedback.For me, the feedback rating is very important...esp. a high value one with no negatives. | |
| Verdier' s motor Upgrade Nope, have not upgraded. Don't see any reason to do so. Now, if and when the PV motor unit fails, I'll certainly think about a different replacement. | |
| Who makes custom sized BB & granite slabs? For BB, try Timbernation.com | |
| Verdier' s motor Upgrade You can also buy a TW Accustic (German) DC motor and controller for the Verdier. In the USA, it is about $2500. In Europe, I don't know. | |
| verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace "Not trying to start a fight. But IME anyone considering a PV should understand they won't get top class performance with the stock drive system. A new Galibier table would play better for less money out of the box, since it already comes with a g... | |
| Acoustical Solutions or Auralex LENRD bass traps So....How do they work? | |

| "What's Your Best Price?" Sorry you think its 'moronic'. If you can't think of an acceptable response, then don't ever consider moving into sales.The obvious answer...give your best price. What else would you expect to do? It's called negotiating. Sometimes I make an offer... | |
| Anyone has heard the Paradigm S8 and can comment ? Listened (briefly) at a dealer, comparing them side-by-side with JM Lab equivalent model (size and price-wise....don't remember the model #).Audition was brief because I (old ears) and wife (young ears) found S8s excessively bright and piercing in... | |
| Anyone hear Dynaudio subwoofers I'm using dual Sub 500 units in my stereo system. No HT here. They blend very well with my full range speakers, adding those trailing bass notes to kick drums. They make music 'fuller'. | |
| 2 inputs into single sub - possible? "You can also sum the L and R outs of the pre-amp together for more gain if needed to the sub."----------------------------------------------For most preamps, this is not possible. If you sum the L & R signals from the preamp using a y-adapter... | |
| Digital force gauge query "Just imagine an arm at a 45 degree angle (a very thick mat!) and you can easily see how the measurement would be lower"-------------------------------------------Your example would cause an increase in VTF, not a lower value. | |
| Pre owend TT J c verdier Platine I'm curious. What is "fussy" about a Platine? | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Electromechanical components (cartridges and speakers) will always have the greatest effect on sound. And of those two, speakers, having to also transduce between mechanical motion and air motion (plus the unknown room interactions) have the bigge... |
