| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... BTW, I sold the Sonus Fabers after moving to a new home. They didn't work in my new room... so state your opinions yes, but don't be a total D.B. attacking me for EVERYTHING. | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Yes Dracule, I agree with you! I do not have magic ears and have never claimed to having them. In fact I find the whole concept of "golden ears" REPULSIVE. However what I consider good music is considered good music by MANY and what I consider goo... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Yea, who cares what I write? I just write what I hear. I could give a shit what anyone thinks of what I write or of what are my opinions. They are my opinions and that's all they are. Take 'em or leave 'em.If you like your M-L amps GOOD FOR YOU. I... | |
| The Hub: Here's some GOOD NEWS from the audio biz Boy do I agree and how! Sound can only get so bad and interest in good sound can only deteriorate so far before it improves. People have been led down a terrible path by the computer geeks who now constitute the bulk of "consumer electronics write... | |
| This is Too Funny Vinyl is Still King I'm actually an "irregular Joe"-Mikey | |
| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF I want to chime in here! Jonathan: Did you began by making sure SRA was set to 92 degrees preferably using a USB based microscope? Correct SRA is critical to this extreme stylus profile. I thought I was 'locked in' doing it by naked eye and listen... | |
| The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress? I got this one just now (Thursday 3/18/10Hi Michael,I was fortunate enough to attend my first major audio show a few weekends ago in Jacksonville and was blown away by what I saw and, more importantly, heard. As a soon to be 25 year old, I've been... | |
| The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress? i get emails like this regularly...!Dear Mr. FremerI just wanted to say thank you. For turning me onto something that has changed my life. Being that I have always loved music, good music at that, and I've always had the patience to listen to musi... | |
| It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is? I have only heard the Ref 2 at CES this past week. I found the bottom end a bit fat and out of control, which is what I found on the PH7 too. I know because we brought the admittedly far more expensive Ypsilon VPS100 into the room (it was the Cont... | |
| It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is? I haven't watched my own DVD in quite some time but I don't recall the chapters all ending in freeze frames! It's easy enough to do a fade-out and it certainly doesn't cost any more. I agree that the footage shot in my listening room wasn't as wel... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? All I can tell you is that I've had my Caliburn (an original early sample) for almost 5 years now and as a reviewer I beat the crap out of it. Not on purpose. It's just that I'm busy comparing things and stopping and starting it (etc.). So in all ... | |
| A question for Graham owners Even with both arms properly set-up, the Phantom is a far better sounding arm, particularly in terms of bass response and solidity. The two arms share a concept but the Phantom's execution is in another league (I wrote the Stereophile review).... | |
| Triplanar Problem The plastic jig that Triplanar provides is not accurate. It is off by a significant amount. If you drill your holes based on the jig, you will not get the specified pivot to spindle distance. | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Every post here misses the most important and overlooked point in this discussion of speed accuracy. While it's a laudable and important goal, fetishing on speed perfection as the sole goal of turntable design misses that the eccentricity of virtu... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH "Mothra" wrote: "but it;s would be typical of fremer to like because it is one of, if the not the, most expensive tables on the market."That's silly my Japanese monster friend. I owned an relatively modestly priced Simon Yorke S7 for years and cho... |
