| Mágico M6 vs Big Wilson speakers I had the pleasure of listening to a new pair of Wilson Alexx V’s today. They are definitely a speaker that one should put on their short list if the budget allows. Excellent at staging, bottom end reach and very resolving across the whole frequen... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo @edgewound They are not over priced so long as there is a market for them at that price, which apparently Wilson believes there is! The value proposition is another matter entirely....I think most folks these days would look at numerous products i... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo I read the review by MF of these in the current Stereophile mag. His comment about a few images appearing too tall is interesting. This problem is common in a number of larger/taller speakers that are on the market, along with their propensity to ... | |
| Cartridge without serial? @mammothguy54 I had heard the story about the Taylor Made clubs before. OTOH, it is interesting that there could be a company doing ’knock-off’s’ of cartridges like the Koetsu’s and the Benz’s. Albeit copying a cartridge could be a relatively easy... | |
| 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 | |
| Cartridge without serial? Does anyone, besides me, wonder how the two vendors in rdk777's post above are able to acquire and sell cartridges with no serial number, and yet seemingly no one else can? | |
| 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. |
