| 2nd Rowland Model 1 to improve my Aerial 10Ts? IME, it takes more than 300 watts/channel to get the 10t's to really sing. I like mine, but they're not the most efficient speaker by far. I wouldn't bridge your amp just to get more power. This will divide in half the impedance the amp sees and j... | |
| E-mail address for Galibier Could be that the email in-box is temporarily full. Thom has been out of town recently. | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? 4yanx, I've ordered separates from Nick. Just to let everyone know that is an option. | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Zaikes, if you think about for a minute, moving to DD for marketing reasons alone would be a huge gamble (some might say insane), to say the least, from a business point of view. I've worked for start-up companies for almost 12 years and I can ass... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? And, that Denver trip is less than 10 days away! I'm salivating all over the keyboard just thinking about it!Microjack, if you'll allow me an observation. I get the impression that your real motivation for starting this thread, and coming to some ... | |
| E.A.R. 834P I have heard about using the sst on the pins. Just be careful to put it only where you want it, it is very conductive.As for dampener, check out Herbies. www.herbiesaudiolabs.comI was skeptical, but they do work and Steve is a great person to deal... | |
| E.A.R. 834P I'd bet some quality tube dampeners would give you a kick in the detail department. You're gonna love it even more after a couple hundred hours. | |
| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? T thought I'd better come back and make ammends to this thread by posting something useful. :)If anyone is looking for a source for front surface (aka first surface) mirror I can recommend a couple of internet sources.www.fsmirrors.com This site i... | |
| I think it is time to retire I remember debating if Pink floyd should hang it up right after DSOTHM was released because "they could never top that album". I've complained about the Stones needing to retire. Bunch of grandpa's up on stage. But if I close my eyes, they do soun... | |
| Denon 103R on a MMF-7 I forgot to thank you for the tip on buying through audio cubes. My 103R has issues (I did buy it used) so I'll be looking for a new one soon. | |
| Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables? Chris, that really sounds amazing from an engineering perspective! I hope you have display ready to explain the load bearing capability of the motor. :) That is, if we have time between enjoying great music! I'm really looking forward to May 13! | |
| Denon 103R on a MMF-7 Should be a fun experiment if you can get the thing mounted! I never had enough faith in the Project bearings and dampening to try this, but what have you got to lose? You might try posting over on AudioAsylum if you haven't already. Someone may p... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Psychic! You truly are an animal! :) How are you adjusting to Fla?Best,Dan | |
| Denon 103R on a MMF-7 I just remembered this, use a toothpick in the end of the clips as you gently squeeze them and that should prevent the possibility of collapsing them. | |
| E.A.R. 834P I'm surprised Mitch recommended only 100 hours. I guess it depends on what mods are done, or he is using different caps from a few years ago? I would be inclined to give it at least twice that amount, but Mitch does know what he's doing. |
