| My Sonic Labs What table/arm are you mounting this on? Their carts have been on Japan's audio mags short list for quite a while. A friend of mine had an Ultra on his Raven AC-1. I think he had a $10k Koetsu on another arm. One arm was a Graham Phantom, and the ... | |
| Great lost lps...the 80s....synth pop and others.. Pet Shop Boys ALL THEVWAY!!! The British dual is still going strong worldwide, big followings in Asia and Brazil. Still issuing LPs for every new release. I've got them all, even the Dance Mixes (not sure why, but I got them). Both wife and I are ... | |
| California Audio Show- a great time Great show indeed. Thanks, Constantine & everyone at Dagogo. Much more "relaxing" than the LA show. I was there both Friday and Sunday. Most of the rooms sounded better on Sunday after the systems have been dialed in.Got a chance to chat with ... | |
| Michell Orbe SE Scar972,What are your impressions of TW Acustic in comparison to the Orbe SE? Was thinking about Avid Acutus as the next upgrade. Great reviews, but not much feedbacks from owners.FrankC | |
| Michell Orbe SE Still own the table w/ SME V and Shelter 901. Yeah, Michell tables don't get much press here in the U.S. That is for sure. Jon Michelle, sadly had also left us a few years back. When I first bought mine, I had some issue where the speed would chan... | |
| Orbe/Phantom: Acrylic Arm Board Anyone? I've been contemplating about driling holes on the other micky mouse ear to accommodate a second arm. Currently I have the SME V. So I've been looking out for an used Graham 2.2 w/ SME mount. Thanks for the info regarding the acrylic armboard.FrankC | |
| Orbe/Phantom: Acrylic Arm Board Anyone? I thought I had read that Phantom was too heavy to be used on an Orbe. Are you saying that with the acrylic armboard, a Phantom can actually be used?FrankC | |

| Pioneer EX Speakers As Mfslgoldcd stated, locating a pair is the issue. I had heard these at several shows. But when I asked about where I could audition further or purchase a pair here in the US, I never received an answer. I even tried sending the question through ... | |
| Shelter 901 v1 or Benz Micro L2 I've tried both the M2 and the Shelter 901 in my system, mounted on SME V, Michell Orbe SE, van den haul/SME cable, ARC PH3 SE w/ setting at 47k ohm.M2 was my first cart, recommended by the dealer when I first bought my table. I later purchased a ... | |
| Using an External Hard Drive as a Music Server Whatever you do, make sure to keep a backup, or two, somewhere else.I've heard horror stories of people uploading all their CDs to a hard drive, then selling off their entire collection, and the hard drive breaking down.One of my stand-along backu... | |
| Speakers that sound like the Hyperion 938's You said it. Customer service was not on their priority list. I had heard them many years ago at the last Stereophile show in S.F. and L.A as well as at RMAF. At the time, I was contemplating about changing my speakers, and had put these on my sho... | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivari amp: X600.5 or X1000.5 ? I agree with Thesoundhouse. If you are set on Pass, I would go with the XA series. I too have the X350.5 and I have the Pass-addiction as well.. My friend had a pair of Amatis and he had been wanting to try the X350.5, but we weren't too keen to h... | |
