| Which way to go - Levinson or Odyssey? Just for your reference. I had just sent my ML #37 and ML #333 back to Madrigal for repair. The tray on #37 was getting stuck, and a capacitor went bad on the #333. I've had both for about 8 years now. so they are out of the warranty. When I calle... | |
| WANTED: Help stuck in tube rolling insanity Call up Leonard at ARC to find out which pair(s) of tubes will make the most difference first. The Sonic Frontier Line 3 also uses like 12 tubes, but just one pair of NOS tubes at the input stage will make up 90% of the difference. Two of my frien... | |
| Usher amplifiers I had heard the USHERS first at the San Francisco Hi-Fi show two years ago, then at the Taipei electronic show a few months later, and also at USHER's own demo room in their main store in Taipei. I was very impressed by their performance at the SF... | |
| Michell Gyro SE:anybody bought an Orbe platter? Nameci,Thanks for the info. I took a closer look at the motor itself last night, and there's a gold circular plate on the motor housing that says "VC" motor. | |
| Threshold s150 or Forte 4a amplifier? Yes, Forte was a Threshold company. Threshold was able to market products at a lower price point using the Forte name. I had heard the Forte 4A driving Thiel 1.5 and Martin Logan Aerius, and it was a great amp at that time for that price. Because ... | |
| Michell Gyro SE:anybody bought an Orbe platter? Badboss429,I also have an Orbe SE + SME V + Shelter 901, and I agree with Nameci's findings. I had originally intended to buy the Gryo and Origin Live fully modded Rega arms to get me started in vinyl, then eventually upgrade the platter. I have l... | |
| Mat with Michell Gyro SE II? Kdbrink:No mat is needed.The Pedersen upgrade is designed specifically to cure a problem when using an SME arm with the Gyros. Check out the TNT reviews pointed out on Pedersen's website. You can try putting blue tack under the screws that secure ... | |
| Tonearm for the Michell Gyro SE MKII Yes, you can. I have seen it done, and have contemplated that idea myself, so I can add an arm with a mono cartridge. All you need to do is to have holes drilled in them to accept armboard plates, and you can move the motor to another location, ju... | |
| Michell Gyro Mk II AC or DC? Slingshot. I had my eye set on the Gyro SE from the start. I had done all the research, and was ready to take the plunge. I was actually this close from buying the demo from the dealer. Unfortunately, by the time I got the message and called the d... | |
| Tonearm for the Michell Gyro SE MKII I have a Orbe SE + SME V + Shelter 901. I had originally had my eye set on the Gyro SE about 4 years ago, but ended up splurged and got the Orbe and the SME V instead. Expressimo or Origin Live fully modded RB250 and RB300 are both excellent and p... | |

| Aesthetix Rhea - IO-IO Signature Sorry to be off topic. I've got a Tizio lamp too. I added a base to it, so it becomes a floorstanding. The light now "hangs" over my turntable. Any modern furniture store will most likely carry it. Another place online is called "Design within Rea... | |
| Solid stylus cleaners: Extreme Phono vs. Onzow Zer Zerodust is dirt cheap in Japan. Several people are importing them directly from Japan and selling them for something like $25 here on Audiogon. I had organized a group buy for some friends locally and got it for $20/piece shipped. It works great.... | |
| Converting Mark Levinson gear from 240V to 120V I second the option of running two/three dedicated 240V lines into your listening room instead. I've heard from several people that their system sounded better running 220V-240V. And it can be done for less than $300.FrankC | |
| Help Levinson 334 buzz I did something stupid and busted one of the caps several years ago. (I was changing one of the outlets on the wall, and got lazy and didn't turn off the main switch at the panel. I think I caused a small power surge, and blew one of the caps in m... |
