| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Stratification of society, increasing income inequality, economic and political uncertainty. People with deep pockets usually buy new, with some exceptions. The rest either don't have funds at all or save and spend minimum. | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? Yes, not inexpensive. I made approximate calculations. Unless prices for NOS or near NOS tubes go much higher I will need about $40/$50 per month on tubes. This is no problem. But I need only four power tubes. Excellent NOS 12au7 tubes from a repu... | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? $150k turntable does not keep accurate speed ? I find it hard to believe. Why doesn't it, what's wrong ? | |
| Great vintage MM cartridge for my Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck/Spacearm. Recommendations? Yeah, that's what I thought - Nagaoka MP-500 or Audio Note IQ3 if not vintage. By the way, which one of the two would overall sound better in Nottingham Spacearm ? What would be your best guess ? Or just sound different ? | |
| Is there an 'Audiophile' Reel-to-Reel Machine for Under $1,000? I haven't heard of one. Maybe $2k if you are very lucky, and you may still have to service it soon enough. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? Yeah, buy them all, compare in your system, keep the one and sell the rest. Now that's the approach. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? This looks good, very vintage, very to the roots. Yeah, that's interesting what tube power supply did there. I have a hypothesis - tubes are just superior devices, whatever you do with them, if you know what you do. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? Bill, does the Technics do anything better or not worse than the Kuzma XL ? How good was that Brinkman with tube power supply ? | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? I think, the only American turntable that at least used to be there was Walker Audio. I may be wrong. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? Well, we are all biased, it's matter of degree. Those top tables sound different with the same cartridges, I bet. How do you compare them in your own system, I wonder? Buying $40k+ turntable without that would be...you find the right word. | |
| Great vintage MM cartridge for my Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck/Spacearm. Recommendations? Just thought about trying vintage MM cartridge, there is a talk in town that some of them are better than modern MMs. But I am not fixated on this idea. No intention to move to LOMC - too expensive for a good one plus either outboard phono stage ... | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? Dohmann, the same man who designed the Continuum tables. No wonder. Most will think that belt drive is the way to go, certainly at the top level. But this is an endless discussion. It's like some will only listen to horn speakers. As a tape man, ... | |
| Fine tuning the system. Where do you start and how do you proceed ? Tuning and fine tuning with tubes is a great way to improve the sound or simply to make it slightly different. It can be like putting different strings on the same acoustic guitar. Playing with isolation/resonance control devices could be fun, bu... | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? Don't understand English, maybe I should switch to French. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? No, we are not talking about prices, more expensive may not be better or may be worse. Yeah, and that article was published in 2020. Any price. Is Continuum still there at the top ? |
