Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
I've got one more question for this thread: Where can you get a Schroeder? I mean actually go see one. Or is this not possible becuse Frank hand builds each one? How much is each one? Frank, talk to me!I must be having a bad internet day, can't fi... 
New Teres 360
Thanks Chris, but I have a question. Tom stated that the belt runs on the brass. I keep looking at the picture, and it looks like it rides on the wood. Can you clarify? 
What is the best phono preamp you have heard?
Since, I've never heard the IO Sig, I'd have to say Supratek. It may not be just a phono pre, but that's what I bought it for. Mine is awesome! 
New Teres 360
David,My take on Chris' comments was that it is a sonic thing. I mean, that table has to be 8-10k, and I don't think Chris would do that just to play dress up. Damn, the thing weighs 150 pounds+! Talk about mass-loading. Now as far as copper &...

I gotta tell ya, but for the brass on the platter, I like it. It may be a little overdone with that much metal, but Chris has said you can get pretty much any finish on the brass. I think if you took the metal off of the OUTSIDE of the platter, an... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Doug,Nice to see you remember the sale page!Artar1,I have to agree with Tom, but I think there are other cartridges you would like better. But, if you go with the Moerch, with it's interchangable tubes, the you open yourself to almost any cartridg... 
RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
I agree, and switched also. The beta test of AIVS went very well, I'm impressed! So, anyone want some RRL? 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I'll get a couple of pics up tonight so you all can see my Syrah. It must have been a custom deal, because I have all three on the power supply. Guess it's time to email Mick.Joe 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Ok, a bit of a strange question. Does the Syrah PS only have a rectifier, or the rectifier/regulator combo? Every picture I've seen shows only the rectifier. Mine has all three, like the Cortese. But, Grannyring posted under Bwhite's system: I jus... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
I think if you start with a Denon 103r, you might not upgrade for a long time. What you save on a cartridge can go to much better use elsewhere.But, we basically have no information other than what you are looking at. What do you listen to? Associ...

Aesthetix Rhea - IO-IO Signature
I've got no clue, but i need to know one thing. Where did you get that lamp in your system? I've been looking for something like that for a long time.Joe 
Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas
Sean,If I thought I could hear any degradation of sound, I might start to worry. But so far the opposite has been true. As we speak I am playing the Orbison disc, and I still can't believe how good it sounds. Also, I remember Paul stating that he ...
