| Shahinian Oblisk As a fellow Shahinian-McIntosh-owner, my experience is that the Obelisks sounds best with the 8-ohm-tap | |
| String alternative for Eurolab TT My tonearm is Scheu´s Tacco, which, according to a few analogies on the German Audio Analogue Forum, is close or as good as a Schroeder-arm, but much cheaper), the cartridge an Ortofon Venice - a MC created especially for the German market - going... | |
| McIntosh MC402 and MC501 Rumney510, before buying the MC402, I compared it to the MC2102. I liked the MC402 better, as I liked the C200 better when I compared it to the C2200. And I think the Halcros are "ridicuolsly overpriced", not the McIntoshs | |
| McIntosh MC402 and MC501 Rumney510, I have the MC402 for quite some time now - and had the Halcros at home as well. I have listened to the MC501s as well. My experience is probably more thorough and different from yours in every point. The mc402 is not worth looking at", ... | |
| Mcintosh-Bad customer service? I have several McIntosh-amps, but, as you can see from my posts on audioasylum and audiokharma, I had some difficulty getting from McIntosh the service I felt I was entitled to. In the end, I only got because I raised it on audiokharma´s McIntosh-... | |
| Turntable help for a Newbie Mang53,I was in the same position as you and finally went for a Scheu/Eurolab Premier MkII with the new Tacco-tonearm, which is supposed to be as good as a Schroeder-arm. Price for this combo is about $3500. Scheu offers excellent Benz-cartridges,... | |
| where to find lead shot? I am about to buy lead shot for my Scheu/Eurolab Premier turntable, to fill the transparent plinth. As I have McIntosh amps and love the blue color, I look for ideas to - color the lead blue. Don´t laugh - anybody has an idea how this could be done? | |

| Anyone heard about B&W revamping their 800 series Jjmali,your dealer-friend may not know, my info comes from AT Trade, the B&W-general importer for Russia. The person I spoke to was invited, as every year, to B&W in England. In addition, I have spoken to Raimund Mundorf himself, who had B... | |
| Scheu/Eurolab TT - which tonearm, mat Well, in fact, I already do have the cartridge : an Ortofon Venice, which is, from what I heard from others (and from Ortofon), an excellent match with Scheu-arms, as well as with SME-arms - and with the phono stage of McIntosh C-200 preamp. So I ... | |
| Anyone heard about B&W revamping their 800 series "Anything you hear on this subject is pure bs. B&W does not leak any info on future product." Sure they do leak - e.g. to their dealers. One example of their upgrade for the 800 series is their including of the best Mundorf-parts for their cro... | |
| Best Player or DAC: ceiling $3k You may include the Chord DAC 64 in your list. audiogon-member ljgj has it, as well as the Kora Hermes, as far as I remember, but says the Chord is by far the better one | |

| Shahinian Obelisk loudspeakers Arik e-mailed me, so I add a few points which might be of interest to other Shahinian-wannebees as well. The speakers as such do not sound coloured, have excellent details and soundstaging when run-in. They sound terrible when not being used, and ... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk loudspeakers It all depends. A new Obelisk comes to 4,400 $ now, I think. Due to his 8 drivers of high quality, the Obelisk usually survives even long duty without being strained. It has, indeed, been updated by Shahinian frequently, but every old model can up... |
