| SME V and cartridge spacer justmetoo has it right. My Kiseki cartrige tip to mounting platform doesn’t have enough depth, similar to Koetsu’s and the SME V arm. The arm faults ( touches the record rim) when the cartridge is the playing inner tracks and when the vinyl isn’t ... | |
| Best tube preamp for Quicksilver V4 tube mono's (newest KT150 version) In your mind was there any difference between the balanced and unbalanced versions? Jim | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. Brian, while a bit off subject, could you give a general description of what modifications you made to your 211‘s? I’ve just received a pair and would be quite curious to know where you went with them. Looking at your discussions and your body of... | |

| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD "It’s tough to beat opioids for severe pain." ......stated in a prior post.Actually, opioids alone are frequently only mediocre in treating many types of pain and in fact, in larger dosages, can make the pain actually worse. Using non-opioid medic... | |

| Cary cad 211m If you like the 280sa V12i, you should consider the V12R monoblocks. 200 watts UL or 100 triode. I've used a pair to run B&W 801's, not the most efficent speakers, to very loud levels. Lots of headroom. | |
| B&W 800 Signiture That is a crazy good price. So good, I might be a bit suspect. | |
| Anita O'Day? The Mosaic collection is amazing but out of print. Occasionally comes up on ebay. | |
| Zero Autoformer good/bad for Atma/Quad combo It might, but you will not really know until you try them. I have found varying degrees of success with these on different tube amps and speakers. I have a nice pair I was thinking of selling. Interested?? | |
| Best bourbon? Blanton's Reserve | |
| Shouldn't the Bass be felt? Duh Go out and buy a pair of B&W 801 ser II's and drive the hell out of them with a good quality high current SS amp,ie Pass, Bryston, Krell, etc... You'll feel the bass. Jim |
