The Hub: E. T. , in your home?
WoW!! Am I glad to see this post. Although I have not owned any ET product, I am famaliar with it. Larry Weinstein of Hollywood Sound has long been a dealer and advocate of ET. Thus I have seen and heard the ET product line. I have been most impre... 
The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress?
Well at 66 now I remain firmly entrenched in vinyl playback. Yes do play CD's but not for critical listening. I use CD playback basically as background music, when I'm busy doing other things. CD play back as far as I am concerned is nothing more ... 
Best Record Store In New York
I remember years ago when I was with CBS, there was a record store in the Village area of New York. But I can't recall the name of the store or if it is still there. Do remember always had a great selection and prices were very friendly. Scooped a...

Review: Discovery Plus 4 phono cable din to RCA Interconnect
The day of the AQ Emerald phono cable has come and gone. The Discoveryt Plus 4 is clearly superior to the venerable AQ Emerald. The detail, speed and transparency of the Discovery is something one has to experience for themselves. Everything we as... 
The Hub: Acoustat X: 'stats with tubes!
Remember those very well indeed and the moment they took the audio world by storm. Never owned those but had the Model 2. Living in South Florida as I have for some 37 years, met many of the principals of Accoustat and was at the factory once. Bri... 
The Hub: Okay. It's all my fault.
Glad to see the Crusade is still alive and moving forward with the thrust of a turtle. Mind you a mighty turtle, but nonetheless a turtle. Being an old ad guy with some heavy hitting corporate entities, such as CBS and TV Guide I am for the most p... 
The Hub: Want a Garrard idler-drive?
Best idler drive I owned was a Dual 1219. Used for years, then served duty with my son A great table in its day and have fond memories of this venerable performer. 
The Hub: ''Handcrafted Ralph Gleason'' ?
WoW the few times I menetioned something similiar in years gone by here on the Gon, I have been skewered big time. To be candid unless that ad grabs me I just move on. I want to be sold, there are far to many places to drop my coin. Unless you can... 
The Hub: Does a pair of 5's beat an 8?
While not to belabor the issue with Marantz and in the years past owned these units when they were new. Hell after 50 years in this hobby owned damn near everything. The only true dual mono that has ever impressed me was the Mark Levinson ML2 mono... 
Harmon Kardan T65c Turntable
Wouldn't you know it, here a few days later have had to press the T55C into service. Tonearm on the VPI needs a rewire service. Sounds damn good with the old Grado on it, not in VPI territory, but very good. 
Harmon Kardan T65c Turntable
The Zeta arm you have is one of the all time best. I would keep ot. To do better will be very expensive. A friend of mine has just picked up Alphason tone arm he no longer wants. Will look at that one in a few days. Back in the day was highly rate... 
Harmon Kardan T65c Turntable
The VPI MK IV has in my opinion very few peers. Mine has the piano black finish base. Weak part of mine is the Audioquest arm of which I plan a upgrade next year. The Clavis is a marvelous cartridge never tire of listening to it.I have enough ambi... 
Harmon Kardan T65c Turntable
I found that the quartz lock on the HK was always spot on, and left it in quartz lock mode.I did use the cardboard protractor and later on used the Geo Disc as well, for confirmation of overhang.My VPI is same as yours and use a VPI SDS with their... 
Harmon Kardan T65c Turntable
The T 65C also came with a disc stabilizer as well as HK interconnects that were covered in a translucent gold outer jacket. Damn nice cable for the time. I eventually replaced those with Audioquest Coral. Hope you got the disc stablizer if not yo...
