Lyra Atlas SL Cartridge Magnet type??
Anyone buy a new Benz in the last year? Not an old stock that was new...but actually one produced in that time period.

@zipost   Diamond coated boron is not a solid diamond cantilever. A diamond cantilever is exactly that..a solid diamond one piece cantilever..made from an industrial diamond. Solid boron rod is what is usually used when the manufacturer states bor... 
How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge....
@rauliruegas I tend to agree with you --customers should buy where the price is right! However, this is exactly what the US distributor does NOT want you to do. By having the ability to actually shop the merchandise and therefore shop the price, t... 
How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge....
Ralph, I generally agree with your post. However, in this instance we are talking about a cartridge...and not any other type of gear. The rep for this particular cartridge adds $8k to the retail price in Japan to arrange for the shipping and futur...

@vortrex  I can tell you are the exact customer that the agent should keep away from! You already know it all......:0( 
How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge....
@chakster As someone else has pointed out, the cartridge in question is $8k more than the price in Japan...which IF you read my OP...a little slower, you would see is what I stated....but no, you just have to jump to conclusions. Your understandin...

 @chakster  Actually what’s your problem? My prior thread...not post, has nothing to do with this thread. Read my OP again, this time without your preconceived idea.

@mijostyn. Is there anywhere in my OP that I stated that this distributor is a brick and mortar dealer?

@rsf507  Nope, But it is usually known as a 'Wallets Big'...LOL. ;0)PM if you need more. 
Neotech NC-P313 vs. Furutech FI-28 Plugs
I own both the Furutech Fi28R and the 50NCF, and also the Wattgate plugs. The Furutech are definitely a step up, but they may not be a better solution to your particular needs. The Furutech tend to clamp harder on, or into, the outlets than the Wa... 
Jeff Rowland 112 Won't Turn On
The best option is what I stated..and ricred1 confirmed. Why you think shipping from Mexico to Rowland in Colorado isn't an option is an interesting opinion....and I do not understand it either...just like ricred1! 
Jeff Rowland 112 Won't Turn On
I would suggest a call to the Rowland factory. The factory is very helpful with this kind of issue and can still service the amp. 
Tube tester...anyone own their own?
@mofimadness  That's an interesting option. Any idea as to what that sells for? Also, I wonder how accurate that Orange unit will be with power tubes? A few years back, I took an ARC amp to a local tech who tested the 6550's that the amp utilized.... 
Subwoofer REL dedicated line with amp?
Probably depends on the line...20 amps..30 amps or what? Also, probably depends on the particular REL that you own, as some have much larger amps than others. I run my two REL’s off one line and my tube mono blocks off another dedicated 20 amp lin... 
Tube tester...anyone own their own?
Doing a little research, the Amplitrex does seem to be the easiest to use and best on the market. I'm not sure what the price is..anyone??I want to test not just driver tubes, but also power tubes like the KT150.The Hickok's look ok, but they seem...
