Steve - these Timeters are available online anywhere from $150 - 300 US dollars. And in the USA so you will not be paying the crazy shipping cost, dollar exchange that I paid. They are serious hospital grade 24/7 units that are run to XXXXX hours ...

Harry - I don’t get envious, as far as I know, but I do wish my knees were in better shape. If you were closer I would let you borrow it over the summer when I am floating on the water. As long as your space is Kitty Proof. Cats like string.

vpi - cost is no object.Harry -the vintage Platine Granito is pure machine. Every part has its purpose. There are $25k Garrard setups being sold. How much of that cost - percentage - is in getting that finished furniture/car look on those plinths ...

Iscm I have heard mixed reports about the results of subs with ELS57’s?Yes. If your subs are across the room, near the main speakers, and one listens to different genres of music, high and low SPL levels, IMO, one needs to have remote DSP manageme...

ct0517: With the Quads, I would have thought that around 200 Hz would be better.Hi iscmA 200 hz setting is much too high for the Quads. the Quads are wonderful to 50 hz with the Music Reference RM10 which was designed for them.they needed help be...

If nothing else I can stare at my Garrard with Ortofon while I listen to my VPI with ET II.If me Harry, I would first put your ET II on the Garrard using the quick install technique I described; then you can hear for yourself what the Garrard (the...

Hi iscm I acquired my DM70 ESL already refurbished. here is a link that shows a pic of the woofer as well as an experiment with the Quad ESL. The experiment did not go well as the B&W crossover Woofer to ESL Panel is 400hz. https://photos.app...

Did you make your own super tweeter? iscm the one in the linked picture is a simple dome tweeter. On the (plus +) side of the line there are 6 or 7 resistors.  I add / subtract resistors to get the desired effect, if needed. Very subtle. The curt...

iscm -  I found the panels sounded best at ear level and by raising the speaker to achieve this, the bass improved as well. I have a device that gives voltage readout. Plugging components into it also shows how much voltage they are using. Any vol...

Hi IscmWell I never thought I would come across another owner of these speakers here. :^)A few things I found for optimum setup and assuming your speakers are functional. First are your’s version one or two? The recommended amp 25 - 100 watts. I w... 
ARC REF 3 vs ML 326s
discussing record cleaning on a preamp thread ? quite funny. Even more so when you look at the OP's virtual system and see that he doesn't own a record player.   TTM - I would recommend a tube preamp in your chain, but look for one with variable g...

Since it comes to me at no cost I can spend some $$ on an arm. The plinth is not an issue as I will be replacing the original Garrard plinth. Perhaps with a new plinth it would even accommodate an ET II, but I’d like to hear your opinions.Hi Harry...
