| Garrard 301 project arm cartridge compatibility Buy another SME 3012RG (Gold).The 3012 with the Decca together makes "the perfect pair".George | |
| 12 inch Graham Phantom I'm sorry , I can not see how an arm can be optimized for a particular alignment during the manufacturing process.It can only rotates on it's pivot and we can choose to align the cartridge's stylus on whatever standard we wish, by simply rotate it... | |

| Single driver point source speakers vs. the world? The high efficiency & the absence of X-over is the only common thing among the 8" full range drivers.BUT :There is a world of difference between (ie): a Lowther PM7A and a WE 755 or a Fostex Fe206E and a Feastrex Naturflux.Also you can conside... | |
| Cary 300SEI w/Harbeth P3SR or Spendor SA-1? It is not about SPL level.The real problem is dynamic congestion & lack of nuance.The transients would be dull, the highs filtered & the midrange would not open.The transparent live event would be absent.The rythm, timing & soundstage ... | |

| Which 300B SET for SF Guarneri Homage? NO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!The Border Patrol 300B cannot express any high frequencies when mated with Guarneri Hommage that acts like a HF filter!!!The Goldmund Mimesis 8.4 monoblocks 185 Watts cannot express their speed & finesse either w... | |
| Ditching anti-skate? C'mon you guys,We are in analogue domain here!!Don't expect to just push a button of your remote and enjoy the analogue heaven. The antiskate force is a very easy & standard procedure that is as necessary as the VTA and even more so, because o... | |
| Tonearms question - Please help Never let your Denon go for a belt drive!!!Measure the pivot to spindle distance and search for the proper effective length of the potential new arm.ie: pivot=221.7 for eff. length=239 pivot=232.4 for eff. length=249 pivot=222 for eff. length=239.... | |

| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento I'm sorry for the interruption, but if you don't mind...I wish to add an off-topic advice in case that you allready have the early Guarneri Hommage:Give a try to the Jadis Defy 7You would not believe the synergy!!!George | |
| Ribbon speakers The successor of the Red Rose R3 is not the Rosebud II because the dipole tweeter was missing due to split between Mark Levinson & Bo Bengtson.The 2010 version is:Transmission Audio M1i = $2950Look no further!!!All your snob hi-end visitors ar... | |
| Experienced audiophiles best speaker The most advanced efforts by the designers are not successfully pointing the write target (of a care-free, less concious way of listening) but on the contrary their products are forcing the consummers to serve their demands in order to perform a b... |
