Re-tip is just the stylus tip replacement on original cantilever, but the original method is press-fit (the one and only bene... | |
| A turntable that plays all types of music well Reference Technics SP10R drive cost about $10k, plays everything :) If you believe in that myth about genres of music vs. equipment then you will find that DirectDrive is for Rock if you like. But I don’t believe in that sh….. Also I must admit th... | |
| A turntable that plays all types of music well I might be moving and my lenco L75 direct drive with large Nantais plinth might be sold as too bulky to want to bring along....Lenco is IDLER DRIVE, not a direct drive. If you wand Direct Drive look for SP10R | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Harkening back to a golden glowing, transistorless, horn-filled past (50s?, 30s?) that probably didn’t sound as great as we might imagine.I think you have no idea what you are talking about. At the moment I have RCA 45 globe tubes from 1930s in my... | |
| Tube Rolling in my Pathos Buy NOS vintage tubes from reputable sellers who can actually test each tube (matched pairs if needed). New JJ tubes are junk compared to vintage tubes from the brands like Sylvania, RCA, Telefunken, Mullard etc. Reputable sellers do not sell fake... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Lewm, I prefer to post links, people can read, Mr. Richard Krebs has been mentioned in OMA press release for K3 turntable on OMA website (see my previous posts):“The design of K3’s mechanicals is the work of a team led by Richard Krebs in New Zeal... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Meanwhile those huge and beautiful $280k OMA Imperia horn speakers just received The Golden Ear Award from The Absolute Sound Magazine (2021).

| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear If anything made for OMA by specialists in speaker design, amps, suts, turntables ... it was made because of Jonathan who is a founder of the OMA company. It’s his company and their products made in a way he want them to be made. This company has ... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear This is what our @sbank posted in another thread about OMA products and I totally agree: I have no dog in this fight, but feel that the conspiracy theorists about OMA don’t know what they’re talking about. These guys have been building and sellin... | |
| Cartridges with that musical coherence - having heard it, I need to learn more I’m wanting to learn about other cartridges that possess this quality of coherence. In your experience, what other cartridges do this? I have to mention FR-7f series, in my opinion they are very special cartridges, not necessary it should be FR-7f... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Those Torqueo tables are beautiful For sure, especially this model in my opinion, but many people on audiogon may think they are ugly too, because they have no taste at all as I can see.

Yasuo Ozawa joined Fidelity Research (FR) in 1982 and started his career as a phono cartridge designer. He participated in designing MC phono cartridges like MCX-3 (m... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Most of the modern turntables that I like are based on vintage drives and vintage looking design, here is another example. I admire new designers who can make a beautiful things in a traditional way. This is from Italy. They are all very expensive. | |
| I have a good SUT. Need MM Phono Pre for DL103R BTW I have Gold Note PH-10 with PSU-10 and JLTi mk4 is cheaper and much better sounding in MM mode than Gold Note in MM mode. | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear I am sorry, but if an AUDIOPHILES can spend $129 000 on "ultimate" turntable like this (which is IMO the winner of the world's ugliest turntables contest for insane price) then what's wrong with OMA Direct Drive turntable for double price? Again, ... |
