| Beveridge speakers-does anyone still use them? Last time I checked Beveridge is, indeed, back in business. I think I have seen exactly ONE pair of used Beveridge speakers for sale in all the years I've been following used gear sales. An active speaker this old might be an albatross due to reco... | |
| sonny rollins many moons ago I decided not to see Segovia at the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco as I had an early meeting the following day. He died about six months later. | |
| Best phono-pre for mc-systems below $ 1.500,00 ? If you want to only spend 500 check out a Dynavector P75; excellent value for the money but not in the same league as the ones mentioned above. | |
| Best phono-pre for mc-systems below $ 1.500,00 ? Try the decware; it is just over 1500 equipped for both MM and MC. Decware offers a 30 day money back deal if you don't like it. | |
| sme 312 bearing upgrade Finally; a concise and succinct response to my query from SME itself. Looks like for about 500 US you get your series 300 arm rebuilt with series V specification bearings. The next question is if this is something we can do ourselves; of course SM... | |
| P75 seems more sophisticated than Black Cube If you have no phono section at all and are on a budget the Dynavector is very good. Another unit, rather rare used, is the Audio Note Zero phono stage; it is quite good once you upgrade the coupling capacitors. The Audio Note is a moving magnet p... | |
| sme 312 bearing upgrade SME responded but not directly to my question. They said the 312 bearings are of the same class as the V. I replied with the basic question of: Were one to have damaged bearings can the 312 use series V bearings as a direct part replacement? The b... | |
| I need a pre-amp with a mc amp. A brand new VTL 5.5 with tubed phono section is in your budget and a wonderful unit. | |
| Best CDP in the $4k to $8k range Compare the more expensive units to a Vecteur L 4.2 which is something like 2500 new. You may be surprised. | |
| Vassar Clements R. I.P. Thank you. I was lucky enough to see Vassar once the year after Garcia died when Grisman reformed the "Old and In The Way" band (w/Herb Peterson replacing Garcia on banjo). Vassar was simply out of this world! We will all miss him. | |
| New Kid On The Block FISHER SA-300 WOW I would suggest you look for early model Tesla ECC803S tubes. They were a copy of the famed Telefunken ECC803S (12ZX7 equivalent). These come in a yellow box. I am not referring to the current JJ production; they are not comparable.Due to the unit... | |
| Regarding DK Design Vs.1 Reference Mk2 amp ??? more to the point we would wish to hear from owners of the Mk II that have upgraded to the Mk III | |
| sme 312 bearing upgrade I sent SME an email already; will post if they respond. | |
| Best method and software to convert vinyl to cd Alesis offers an excellent unit where you record the analogue source to the internal hard disk. Once it is on the hard disk you can assign track numbers and other editing features. It does not require a PC to work; ie, it is a stand alone product ... | |
| Should I retire my Harmon/Kardon T60? As long as it works fine and the bearing is lubed I'd say put it on a good platform with a nice cartridge suited to the HK arm and enjoy. You'd probably be looking at a Rega P3 to better the Harmon Kardon. And very few decks have an auto lift at t... |
