| Cartridge without serial? @mammothguy54 You make an interring point. Is it possible that the cartridges in question, Zyx's, Benz's, Koetsu's and others that are being offered from these grey market vendors are in fact knock-off's? This would certainly explain the lack of ... | |
| Repair tech for Linn LP 12? Dan @ Blackbird audio in Santee is an authorized Linn LP12 repair tech. | |
| Cartridge without serial? @chakster LOL, If you think that ZYX or any high end manufacturer of cartridges, with the possible exception of Ortofon, is making and selling ’thousands’ of cartridges annually, i have a nice bridge I can sell you.... | |
| Cartridge without serial? @chakster where you get thousands of cartridges being manufactured of the same type and then being distributed is questionable. If a company like Zyx is selling and distributing thousands of cartridges into the world market at anytime, not only wo... | |
| Cartridge without serial? @chakster Are you suggesting that the manufacturer of a cartridge, who probably is not producing large numbers, will not know if some go missing? Or, that he has no way of knowing which distributor is going through a much larger supply than the o... | |
| Cartridge without serial? @chakster You explanation would apply for a very large conglomerate that sells very high volume. I highly doubt that any of the cartridge manufacturer's are in that league. Surely they must know all of their distributor's and exactly what produc... | |
| Cartridge without serial? @chakster If the manufacturer is NOT supplying into the grey market, and in the case of Nakatsuka-San...how does he explain the availability of his cartridges?? | |
| Cartridge without serial? @rdk777 LOL, +1 | |

| Linn Karousel bearing The Karousel bearing upgrade is a significant improvement for the Linn LP12 table, and IMO well worth the cost.The Valhalla board will NOT work with the new bearing. Linn do NOT recommend modifying the board to make the bearing fit.There are possi... | |
| Ansuz For years now I have observed that the price asked simply does not equate in any way to the product offered. Seems to be an ongoing trend in this hobby. | |
| What To Replace A Pair Of Lamm Ml2 Monoblocks With? Need More Power Jadis JA80Mk2 or JA200Mk2 would be a good match to Vandy 5's. | |
| Magnapan Model MG 1 compare to model ...MG 1 " IMPROVED" I have very fond memories of when I owned the Maggie MG1 improved back in the day. I replaced them with Acoustat 3's...which while being more expensive, larger and all electrostatic...really were not as great sounding! If I remember correctly, and... | |
| KT 170 My amps use KT150's...the new KT170's look interesting. Problem is they are so wide that I doubt I can fit them in the space allotted to the tubes on my amps...which I suspect will be a common problem with these new tubes for a lot of folks! | |
| REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s? REL has a somewhat unique stance, they believe ( as do I) that taking the signal off the amp terminals and not off the preamp allows the subwoofer to see exactly the same signal as the main speakers. This is where I think their subs are able to so... |
