| US only sales WHY??? As I understand it, it is not an offence to undervalue any item being sent, but only to give a different insurance value to the declared customs value. If the buyer wishes to take the risk of a loss on the insurance if the item goes astray and it ... | |
| How good is the Benz Mrico LP-S and Ruby 3 really? Hamburger I use a K&K audio phono stage, you can look at it on the companies website and search on Audiogon threads. I have been through countless stages and this is the best I have had in my system by a long way. That includes Tom Evans, Clea... | |
| How good is the Benz Mrico LP-S and Ruby 3 really? I recently bought a Benz LP from the UK dealer who was offering a discount. I have'nt used many High end cartridges, but it is clearly the best I have had in my sydtem, precisely because it is a neutral all rounder. Good detail, soundstage, good s... | |
| Do you spend more on audio than your income allows As Timrhu says, I am sure your attitude to money is ingrained in childhood. My family was'nt dirt poor, but we never had excess money to spend. Now I am a Doctor and I owe that to my parents struggles with money. Now I am an English, not a US Doct... | |
| Mastersound 300B and bass The Italians do seem to make great valve amps and valve integrated's in particularly. If you are questioning base, then I would consider an 845 based SET. The 3 main Italian makers, New Audio frontiers, Mastersound and Viva, all make 845 SET's. I ... | |
| Do you spend more on audio than your income allows I would, but what my wife allows kicks in before my guilt level would. Thus I don't have a chance to spend more than I can afford. Get a wife, mine is a great break on unnecessary spending. Come to think of it, she costs me more than an Audiopkile... | |
| Need help in search of Living Voice sound Having used the LV Avatars for years, I moved on to the Acoustic Zen Adagios and am now looking for my final speakers in your price range. I second many of the above suggestions and am planning a trip to RMAF to hear the Daedalus line. I would als... | |
| Choice of Koetsu cartridges? Thanks everyone for your advice, as usual, helpful and to the point | |
| Choice of Koetsu cartridges? The Ortofon 309D is pretty hard to find, the company do'nt promote it, but it is a very fine unit with 12" effective length. I bought it on the advice of the TW designer, thomas, who uses it himself. Effective mass is about 14gms. I checked compat... | |
| US only sales WHY??? All my Gon purchases have been from the US, I am in the UK. Most stated US buyers only. I contacted them and asked courteously if they would consider a sale to the UK and I have not been turned down. I usually only buy US gear, where the price adv... | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers As kurk tank says, the problem for High End dealers is the dreamers and tyre kickers. Too many of us go for demos for a mornings enertainment and a free coffee. As far as I am concerned, I never trouble a dealer for a dem, unless I am at least pla... | |
| In Europe, owning Coincident Super Victory/ TV IV? Azh Yes that is the speaker. You may be correct, but I thought there were no major changes in the various Victory series speakers. I have just checked the website, you are correct, there is a different driver compliment. Appologies if I mislead yo... | |
| Koetsu vs Dynavector If anyone is interested in differences in Koetsus and indeed other cartridges, take a look at the 10audio site, lots of good sensible opinions, though only one persons of course. I used a Rosewood Signature bought second hand on the Gon for 3 year... | |
| In Europe, owning Coincident Super Victory/ TV IV? AZH, yes of course, they are at Shadow Audio in Glenrothies, near Perth and Edinburgh, if you were to fly in. Take the chance to look around the Scottish Highlands, the most beautiful scenery in the world IMHO. Delightful people to deal with and a... | |
| In Europe, owning Coincident Super Victory/ TV IV? I have been trying to audition the Super Victories also, I live in the UK. There is'nt a pair in the UK at the moment. The distributor would like to get a pair in, but in the current climate, there is little chance of selling a pair. There are a f... |
