| Laufer Teknik Memory Player and Mini Thanks for posting guys.I know there are other Memory Player owners on Agon and hope they will chime in with recommendations.@thaluza .The only other advice I can offer is to try calling Sam and have him explain the best practices. He seems to be ... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? One issue I am a bit perplexed with is sellers not taking new users seriously.I have seen a few posts from Agon members not wanting to sell to those with little or no feedback.With Audiogon's policies, I can't see how a seller would be taking a ri... | |
| Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten @tswisla ,Funny you should say that.That was why I bought his products- As well as their working well with Vandersteen's.Bob | |
| BAT VK-33 vs Atmasphere MP-3 I haven't heard the BAT, but own the Atma MP-3.I love my preamp and hope to get a MP-1 someday.And, if you get the MP-3 serviced/upgraded, you get a 3 year warranty automatically. Plus, Ralph Karsten is one of the nicest and technically astute peo... | |
| Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten @pstores Funny, that was the exact thing that happened with me.- Just a cable that somehow managed to not make contact.Haha!When I look back, I remember that checking the speaker connections was his first recommendation.I poopoo'ed it, how could a... | |
| Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten @pstores Thanks for posting this.I should have done so myself.Whenever I had a problem with my MA-1's or MP-3, Ralph or Adam helped me to find the problem. Sometimes it took a few calls, but Ralph was always patient and offered great advice. Each ... | |
| DIY speakers of solid/reclaimed wood? Old growth wood is much more solid than what is sold on the market, and, if they are indeed using wood that is 300 years old, I believe it would be quite inert soundwise.B | |

| Permanent 50hz You could also try a Hum Buster to see if it is you home wiring.B | |
| Can a linear power supply be used for multiple devices? I got an HDPlex unit that offers 4 different outlets with adjustable output.There are other manufacturers that offer 2 or 3 outputs, as well.B | |
| Laufer Teknik Memory Player 64 - I've Finally Found What I've Been Looking For! I got the Mini last year, but things got crazy and I didn't have time to get things set up. When I did, Sam was busy.By that time he was ready, I was getting busy again.So, I am still waiting for him to get things organized. He did install some up... | |

| Best way to spike a large tower ( 100 lbs +) That speaker jack from Wilson is just an overpriced version of this: https://www.calcarcover.com/product/low-profile-billet-aluminum-jack/705 Still better is to have another person hold the speaker while you insert and level the spike. As the ol... | |
| Vandersteen vlr or excite x14i have bith I own the VLR's as well as Treo's, so I am biased towards Vandy's.But, seeing how you liked ProAc's, I would say you will probably like Vandersteen.Remember the VLR's were designed to be bookshelf speakers. So, having near the wall/corners will be... |
