| 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... | |
| Linn LP 12 @malbor If you are upgrading the LP12, the place to do it is from the inside out...which is the Linn Protocol. Therefore, the bearing would be the first place to put money. Having said that, your question is still valid in your OP, as the tonearm... | |

| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable @no_regrets As can be seen in this thread, member mijostyn has some very absolute thoughts about the Linn LP12. The ONLY thing that I think we can take away from all of his posts that are in fact 'Absolute' is the fact that he has a) never heard a... | |
| MoFi controversy Looks like the ’One Step’ Evans SATVV is an AAA recording, one of the very few! If so, I would think that this would increase its value, certainly to a higher point than ’Abraxas’, which is determined to be from a DSD source! | |
| MoFi controversy Tonight I brought out my copy of ’Monk’s Dream’ on the ’One Step’. I wanted to hear how the sound of the piano came through, as this instrument has always sounded a little off when sourced from a digital file, at least to my ears. The SQ of the pi... | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing @fleschler I would suggest that you reserve your judgement of the new Wilson Alexx V's until such time as you have the opportunity to hear them with an appropriate setting and gear. I suspect you will then have a different opinion of the present... | |
| MoFi controversy Given that I have now viewed about half of the "interview" on Youtube, and that it is certainly possible that this question gets answered later on, one thing strikes me as also shocking, and it really is not to do with the digital aspect. These gu... | |
| MoFi controversy @whart I’m not sure, is that the video that is in the OP? That I did view. Is there another video with an "interview"? One question though, and I do agree with your last two sentences 100%, is this: MoFi absolutely should have been more tra... | |
| MoFi controversy While all of the posts so far have been interesting, no one seems to know for 100% certainty that ALL of the MoFi "One Steps’ are sourced from digital mastering/ files? For example, i would be surprised if the recent Muddy Waters ’One Step’ was s... |
