| The Sonus Faber Maxima Amator...worth a look. @zipost Unfortunately, like many folk, you have now made a wide generalization about a company, that frankly is far from correct! The entry level SF's are made in China, not so the upper end models, including the new model that I reference in my ... | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber @andrewmr +1The SF G's are an incredible speaker that I think have few if any peers. Certainly I can think of no stand mount that betters them. Adding a sub (or two) is the way to go, but it needs to be a fast and agile sub. B&W's tempt me on... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @thom_at_galibier_design Well Thom, I did learn that there is a member who uses Brake Cleaning fluid on his records, and to him I am Victorian. There is that, lol. | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 @rauliruegas LOL, now that you clarify your post to include MF as his marketing director ( and you could add as his ad writer as well), I agree with you 100%. It boggles my mind that ANYONE would buy a product as expensive as the SAT arm ( or wors... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! Not sure how my thread went from inquiring about the age old anti-static formulation that RCA was using on their vinyl, and which seems to work like a charm, even decades later...to: Brake Cleaning fluid used to clean one members LP's!! Just goes ... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 @rauliruegas Raul, I agree with almost everything that you state in your post. However, you assume that Marc Gomez has a marketing director, do we know this? Also, even if he does, surely as the owner of the company he would have final say over s... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @mijostyn As a long time record collector, calling me Victorian is quite a complement. LOL.@antinn Thanks for attempting to bring some common sense and experience to this thread. +1 | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @mijostyn No record of mine is ever going near Brake cleaning fluid, just like no record of mine is going in a plastic inner sleeve, they only go into rice paper sleeves. YMMV | |
| If Nordost won't shorten & terminate it's own speaker cables who can please? Thank you! The rep for Nordost told my dealer that the factory cannot re-terminate my phono cable going from RCA to DIN. I am under the impression that it is technically not possible, BUT I have a very hard time understanding this. Nordost did re-terminate m... | |
| Rockport owners. Isn't the Alexx a lot more $$ than the other two? What are you planning on driving these speakers with? | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @cleeds Or, maybe’s he’s wrong! Or, maybe for his definition of clean and his expectation of what a ’clean’ LP sounds like, maybe that is good enough...and you are correct...maybe he’s right (for him)! I’m not buying it though. | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 @dover The question is also whether the pricing is also out of whack with the market in general? I guess only time will tell.BUT I still think this has absolutely nothing to do with the value of rare Ferrari's today..and what they could possibly... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! What's a clean record? To some, it is one cleaned with, ahem, break fluid, to others...it is one cleaned on a vacuum cleaning machine or a US machine. I clean all of my LP's with a specific regimen, and have done so with both new LP's ( primarily ... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 It is unfortunate that IME having spoken to a number of college age folks that the overall impression that they have of our hobby is that it is one for the ultra well to do.( they seem to believe this from their exposure to the high priced gear th... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 @antinn Thanks for that. I think the Basis Transcendence is awfully hard to beat, and it is a fraction of the price of the new SAT...even with the Superarm 9 or 12 mounted! |
