| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @mijostyn A while back I had started a thread about how to go about acquiring an expensive cartridge given the lack of ability to demo the cartridge before committing to a purchase. There seemed to be little consensus as to how this could be acco... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @rauliruegas Trying to determine which cartridge sounds better than the other is really a fools errand in many cases. The ML and the AT are very good sounding cartridges, but the set up, the arm, the table, the downstream gear and numerous other ... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @mikelavigne Mike, I would have agreed with you about WBF up until RR got involved. Then, I believe that the owner dominance became prevalent, far more so than any other forum i belonged to. It was that dominance, albeit more subtle than some I ... | |
| Michael Hobson Interview: Nothing but the Truth Why call this 'nothing but the truth?? Implies something that you may not want to be implying. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Lol, this thread has me immensely amused. The WBF is such a joke these days that IMO anyone contributing over there is really contributing to the great YAWN. @rauliruegas take it as a badge of honor that you are banned there, I certainly do. @mi... | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? @jeffseight Good question. The Electa Amator 3's are a very nice speaker, certainly a lot more attainable and more modern looking. Having listened to them extensively, I think they would be a good choice IF one could not source the GH's, which is... | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? A little biased, but I have never heard a better stand mount than the Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage. | |
| Need recommendation similar to my Black Cat Cables Looking at the Black Cat web site, there is now a banner that has been posted that states that there is apparently a group, to include members of Chris's family, that are trying to take over the production of his cables. This is great news and I h... | |
| Need recommendation similar to my Black Cat Cables IF you can get a longer run from Black Cat ( maybe from whomever is taking over for Chris) that would be the #1 choice. Failing that, I think the cables from Dave Cahoon..Zenwave, are truly up there with Chris’s designs. Look here: zenwaveaudio.c... | |
| Franco Serbin Accordos after one month..... Back to the regularly scheduled program Indeed the Serblin speakers seem to be overlooked here in the US. I think possibly because of their aesthetic? Not sure why else? IMHO, Franco's best works were the GH's, the Strads and the Ktema's. Eac... | |
| Jadis JA80 MKII, it Is a Legend! @samhvcc Where did you see that the JA30Mk2's will be equipped with KT170's? I would think those tubes would have a hard time fitting the available space on the chassis. | |
| MoFi controversy @larsman +1 You are correct, the anger at Mo-Lie is due to the 'bait and switch' tactics that were used to lure the a'phile community into paying more $$ for the 'One Steps' ;wherein all the while withholding a specific step that Mo-Lie knew wou... | |
| Chris Sommovigo has passed away I am shocked!! I had spoken to Chris on a number of occasions, great guy!!! RIP Chris. | |
| MoFi controversy @rauliruegas Raul, you are using Jim Davis’ justification for using a DSD step in his ’supposedly’ all analog releases. Davis stated that he and MoFI thought that the DSD recording sounded better than the AAA tape. I have a hard time believing th... | |
| MoFi controversy Tonight I decided to do a shoot out between my MoFi ’Anadisc’ Muddy Waters ’Folk Singer’ and the newly released ’One Step’ of the same title.I had done a similar ’AB’ when I first acquired the ’One Step’ and in some ways i felt it to better the ’A... |
