| Audio Research Financial Troubles mulveling I've heard out-of-warranty repairs currently have a long queue (~ 6 months). But in-warranty repairs are another ball of wax. Upgrades (e.g. 6 to 6SE) are also processing very efficiently, much more so than before. It's absolutely ... | |

| CD Transport chayro I had an Esoteric X-05 with a so-called VRDS transport that was just a glorified plastic transport with a top clamp resembling the clamp in the 701. It was nothing like the transports in the higher end Esoteric products. Here's a photo ... | |

| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm lewm ... the arm is heavily weighted, at least 2 lbs, so that when you sit it on a plinth surface that is in turn well coupled to the platter bearing, then there is a sort of coupling. But that isn't the case with a suspended subchassis turn... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm lewm No pod! Pod is an option if you can’t fit it on the plinth surface ... Understood. But if the arm isn't rigidly attached to the chassis - which, depending on the turntable, isn't necessarily the plinth - it is essentially affixed like... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm lewm ... if you take as gospel the emphatic declarations that this tonearm and others like it cannot possibly work because of excessive TAE or whatever else, then the result of my listening tests should have been disastrous, on the negative side... | |
