| Benefits of a record ring After the stated concern/issue with conical armwands, I borrowed the 600g ring from a friend to see if it will be a problem. I have a Michell Orbe SE + SME V. The armwand was set up at the height stated in the instruction manual (I believe somethi... | |
| Michell Gyro Se running a little slow Gerardff,I bought themeter you recommended and it arrived today. I also have an Orbe. Can you explain how to use the meter? Do you tape the reflective tape to the side of the platter? From the instruction that came with it, it seems to suggest tha... | |
| Shelter owners using SUT - share observations? Hi Dan,Wow, a MySonicLab Ultra Eminent! I've been lusting over one for a few years now. I had a chance to buy one when I was in Japan a few years ago, but I didn't. And now the value of USD has fallen, and I've been kicking myself for making the w... | |
| Shelter owners using SUT - share observations? I have a Shelter 901 and just recently bought the Bent MU SUT. Currently using some other cart, so the 901 has been put aside for a while. Per Shelter's website, they recommend 20 ohms for just about all of their carts. I had some lengthy discussi... | |
| Amplifier for Usher Be-10 Heard the BE-20s at a demo at the local shop two years ago. The gathering was sponsored by the local audiophile group with representatives from VTL and NuForce. They were driven by all VTL equipment and a VPI TNT turntable during the first half. I... | |
| Amp for Thiel CS6 Want to share my experience comparing the Levinson and the Pass. I was a long-time Thiel user (15+ years). I started this hobby with a pair of Thiel 2.2s, then upgraded to a pair of 3.6s. I had paired the 3.6s with the Levinson 333 for 8 years and... | |
| Michell Gyro/Orbe owners upgrade path Ha! Ha! I am in the same situation. I have the Orbe SE/SME V combo for 7 years now. I've tried several catridges. But my first upgrade will be on building that dedicated room from the ground up. That will set me back some serious dough. So no thou... | |

| Washington D.C. I just visited the area at the end of October and visited both stores mentioned. Sad to say, but the area is pathetic for vinyl shopping compared to some of other metropolitan areas that I've visited. Joe's is the biggest in the area, so I would g... | |

| Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5 It's not just a parts issue. I had a coversation with the repair tech when I had to sent my ML333 in for repair. The entire 300 series suffered from a design flaw that blows up capacitors. Mine had been repaired 3 times.And as Patrickp indicated a... | |
| Chinese Audio Shopping They will not work in the US. They use 220v over there and a different plug. Not sure if you can still do this, but you can ask the dealer to get you a 110v/120v version of the product directly from the manufacturer. It worked a few years back whe... | |
| Appogg isolation platform under preamp The website mentioned some polymer suspesion compound between the platform and the chassis. Can someone explain what that is? Are they balls like the Ginkgo platforms? Weight limit? Anyone tried it under a suspension turntable?FrankC | |
