| Which cart works with Ortofon AS309S 12inch arm I found it very difficult to find out. The UK importer sought advice from Ortofon for me and even then it was'nt clear. I think the conclusion was 14 to 15gm, but I asked a while ago | |
| What amp / int. amp would you still like to try? If it were possible, the now withdran, VAC top of the range integrated, the Phi Beta, I think it was. It looks just stunning and from VAC, I am sure it sounds it too | |
| Which cart works with Ortofon AS309S 12inch arm I have the 309D on my TW Raven one and have used a benz Micro LP and Koetsu Onyx. Both gave great results, the Koetsu is not supposed to be a match with the Ortofon, using arm cartridge compliance matching charts, but it sounds great to me. | |
| TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm I am sure the Raven arm is excellent, it is very expensive. I use the Ortofon 309D on my Raven One and could'nt be happier. For the price it is great value and it is the arm Thomas at TW, has been using on his Raven one | |
| Looking for new speakers Some great choices there, I like Epos and Devore in particular. One thing you can try with a small company like Devore, is to ask the company if anyone near you is using the speakers and whether they would let you have a listen. Small companies of... | |
| What time do you wear? I wear the 22 carrot gold Omega whatch I bought with my first pay packet when I was 17. I am now 62 and I have worn it every day since, even got it pretty wet a few times. It is not waterproof. Apart from having it cleaned and dried a few times, i... | |
| Speaker Longevity My mother is still using the Leak mini sandwhich speakers I bought second hand in 1969. They sound ok to me. Is this a record? | |
| Speakers for 3K I heard the Devore 9's recently and thought they were great. One of the best speakers I had heard in my search for new speakers. you would be lucky to find those second hand at all, and for $3000. I like Zu too, but found they need the right amp. ... | |

| How many hours per week do you listen to music? About 3 to 4 hours a day at the moment, but have the dreaded builders in at the moment, so none. | |
| Amplifier Experience Gryphon Pass Lamm BAT Hamburgcity Do'nt dismiss buying in the US and changing the voltage. I have done it several times, Conrad Johnson and Karan, no problem, Viva valve amp, major problems. Tube amps seem more problematic. Manufacturers are producing for a world mark... | |
| Amplifier voltage conversion I have done it on a number of occasions, both a CJ Premier 17 and Karan K180. It is doeable and I had the voltage changed in the UK. The CJ ewas easy, they are built for both markets. It is simply a matter of changing the taps on the transformer, ... | |
| Stockfish LPs ?? There CD's and SACDs are great too. They do'nt produce much vinyl. As a taster, try the Vinyl collection, a Sampler of there artists. I agree with others Sara K's Waterfalls has to be one of the greatest recordings I have heard. You know when you ... | |
| The Big Ayon Triton KT-88 Int Amp- tube rolling? As a slightly different point, I have heard good things about Ayon and liked what I heard at a recent show. Can anyone comment in general, how happy they are with the amps, quality and reliability? thanks | |
| Viva vs. WAVAC amps I have heard both and have used a Viva Solista for 5 years. That is one of the best amps I have heard, but I am sure Wavac is in another league. I spent a long time at a show in the UK and felt the sound in the wavac room, was the best I have hear... |
