Decware - any substance here?
The OP back in 2010 mentions no genuine reviews. There is one on the Zen Torii in Tone Audio, Issue 41 November 2011. 
Acoustic Signature Turntables
It looks like Otto came through for me. I’ve never corresponded with him and today out of the blue I received his email saying the power supply is repaired and shipped by UPS Express. He provided a tracking number which shows on the UPS site that ... 
Acoustic Signature Turntables
Thanks for the kind words. I'm on vacation for two weeks so don't need to think about it, and I've gotten used to listening to digital over the last 5 months. Expect to buy a new power supply before the end of the year if necessary. The money coul... 
Acoustic Signature Turntables
Klinerm, I agree they are very very good tables. I will continue to use mine even if I have to buy a new power supply. Do you know how I can contact Otto? I really want to purchase a second armboard but am nervous about sending money for one. Heck... 
Additional armwand for Graham Phantom?
Thanks for the responses. It sounds like cartridge alignment should stay consistent taking an armwand off and on, but azimuth might not. This might not be too much of a concern for me since I haven’t yet worked very hard at dialing in azimuth. The... 
Acoustic Signature Turntables
Dgob you're right and I have felt all along that it should be returned to me for a reasonable cost of repair and shipping. Or if it isn't repaired just send it back as is. Its possible Gunther hasn't received any of my emails. After the first or s... 
Acoustic Signature Turntables
Yes my first inquiry was to the email address Otto gave in his reply to this post back on 12-22-08. But Gunther replied and all further correspondence was with him. If I had given UPS a much lower value things may have worked out. The circumstance...

Coincident Statement Phono. Also has one aux input for a CD player or similar source. 
Acoustic Signature Turntables
I have had a very bad customer service experience with Gunther of Acoustic Signature. The power supply stopped working, I contacted him on Jan 21st, he said he would arrange for shipping back to Germany for repair. It was finally picked up on Feb ... 
Can an iTouch be used to control iTunes on a Mini?
I have a mini as a music server on my equipment rack with no display, keyboard or mouse attached. I control it with my MacBook. I temporarily attached a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the mini to set up"Sharing" under System Preferences. Works gre... 
Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance
You can try cables through The Cable Company for a fee. I did that once but don't remember the cost. It wasn't much.I've had cables from Harmonic Technology then Cardas Neutral Reference. I tried Blue Jeans 3 meter balanced and could not hear a di... 
Tube Ampp Almarro low level hum
As Jax2 said I had this amp for a while but did not have any hum at all. So I don't have much to add. I contacted Almarro directly when i was looking for tubes and received replies the next day. You might try sending them an email to get more idea... 
Steam cleaning records 2
I've been cleaning with the MC1235 for about a month now and agree a careful finger on the trigger helps but I do get sputtering at times and a little more water on the record than I'd like but not as much as some have reported. I'm using the exac... 
Steam cleaning records 2
After 6 months of thinking about it I finally took steps to start steaming. Watching stltrains' video recently is what did it. My cleaning regime is very similar on a 16.5 RCM but without the steam, like separate pickup tubes for wash and rinse, s... 
Anyone using a touch screen for PC audio?
If you had a Mac Book in addition to the Mini you could set up Sharing on the Mini and use the Mac Book from your chair to control and see everything on the mini. This is assuming you have a wireless network in your house.
