emailist, what was your previous table as a comparison point? my table is in transit from germany and should arrive next week (i'm in canada). i will be setting up myself. i'm starting with the cheaper vivid arm for now and will be getting a graha...

What is the word from the field? Mine is shipping at the end of next week. Word from Europe so far seems we;; received. 
How Long Should an LP12 Bearing Last?
The events are correct as Jody states. Misunderstanding on my part. We mutually agree now. 
How Long Should an LP12 Bearing Last?
I don't think there will be a Cirkus II but a Keel I. Thanks for clearing the air Jody. 
How Long Should an LP12 Bearing Last?
I live in Canada and sold it within Canada because of Canadian Customs and border hassles. We recently mutually re-agreed on the original asking price but I wanted to make sure for both sides sake. I felt compelled to ask as a concientious seller....

keep us posted emailists. i am in the que as well. 
Phono Stage - Passive Pre- Amp: Results??
I have probably one of the worst scenatios. LP12/Cirkus/Ekos/Lingo with 0.15mV Troika into an Aqvox 2CI MkII phono stage (72db gain) into Reference Line Preeminence 1B, Sonic Frontiers Power 2 1.25V RMS for 110 Watts into Totem Mani-2s 85db/W/m. T...

The Vivid arm is Jelco and the American dealer confirms that it is similar to the Koetsu arm. If you search pictures on the net, they look very similar as well. Too bad I can't speak german. There's alot more german press out there.

you had me shocked there for a minute emailists.david: in europe reports are that the AC and One are very close. some listeners think the One is more dynamic (it is quite a bit lighter). for me the logistics of using a 190 lbs turntable is too cum...

Hey Emailists,Did you get your Raven One yet? I am now in the que for May. Saw your post for the Shroeder Arm. What arm did you decide on? I am getting a Triplanar for mine. 
Aqvox 2CI Direct Input
I just got my MkII version and did a bit of surgery to an Extemephono Silver cable converting from RCA to XLR. The pots do adjust the dynamics of the sound. Too little and the sound is flat and too much and there is a bit of overload on my system.... 
Aqvox 2CI Direct Input
Wow. The SA-1000 is no slouch either. Maybe a Dact stepped attenuator is in your future too. I rarely listen to CDs so this is the most likely implementation for me. 
Aqvox 2CI Direct Input
That's what I wanted to hear Maxson. Overload was the main concern I had. I run a passive pre anyways, so removing that from the signal path can only be good. Is there sonic benefits to driving the amp directly over a preamp? I see a Dact stepped ...
