| best speaker for nagra Hi, I have a Nagra PLL and VPS. I owned WP8's before my Maxx 3's. I think you have the best choice already :)The Magico's, Hansen's, Wilson's are all great. I don't think you'll go wrong with any of these. I do think that special resolution and to... | |
| Sme new platter material??? Hi Peter, you may know this, but I recently sold my SME 20/2a SME IV.Vi and went to a Grand Prix Audio Monaco table and Triplanar arm.I feel this combo definitely betters the SME in the PRaT area. Piano notes hit with more authority and sustain fo... | |
| 6h30 tube I am with dgarretson here and Eee3. I ran VK75SE and then VK150SE's for about 6 years. It's a great amp(s). Had the same experience as dgarretson I suspect this is also system dependent. However my bat vk51se preamp liked the dr's more so than the... | |
| Sme new platter material??? I didn't believe this, so I took a look. Yep all black. I had a SME 20/2 for years. It's a great table. I suspect this is more than cosmetic... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Hi Paperw8,"But what I do know, is that it appears to me that there is a fair amount of effort involved in removing the trough from the Triplanar."It took me 1 minute to remove the trough. Simple, easy 2 small screws. 30 seconds with the needle in... | |
| Wilson Audio- The rest of the story So I live the USA. We're in a free market economy. You are free to buy and sell at whatever price you want with your money (depending on gov't regulations where they exist).Wilson employs american workers, builds their goods in the USA, pays heath... | |

| BAT VK-P5 6922 tube question ? Hi call or email BAT. They'll have the instructions they can send you. I used to have them, but long lost. I think you'll love the better tubes. It's a great phono stage!It's not to hard and does make a difference when the bias is right...you will... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Lewm, hi I think Albert is using a finely machined copper mat (it's heavy and rigid not flexible -think of a dinner plate size piece of copper that's machined to tight tolerences). And you're on the right path regarding my use of the term "wetness... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Hi Halcro, I have a Grand Prix Monaco. Lewm's comment about it being in the "top tier" is a fair comment and difficult to dispute in my opinion. Anyway, it does have at least 1 owner in it's fanclub :).It is significantly better than my previous t... | |
| HRS M3 vs Symposium Ultra platform Hi, I've used the Symposion Ultra's before under a tube pre amp (bat vk51se), digital (esoteric dv50s), and a turntable (sme 20/2).All benefited. Honesty I wish I never sold them. I can say that better isolation is a good thing. I haven't heard th... | |

| Preamp w/ Phono and Headphone What's your price range? If you want something absolutely killer, a Nagra PL-P is very hard to beat. And has the features your asking for.For a vinyl lover, this near heaven. The Nagra's are very reasonable used...occasionally pop up here.http://w... |
