Schroder sq and the new talea
Dgad: My comment of, "It is my understanding that it was the other way around. I heard Frank approached Joel." was in reference to your statement of:"I have no idea about the Talea, but if I was marketing an arm, I would definitely go after Schrod...

Dgad: It is my understanding that it was the other way around. I heard Frank approached Joel. :)Lewm: When I was there, Frank was controlling his volume. My teeth are worn down from that session. :) 
Schroder sq and the new talea
Dertonarm: Well said. There were so many people interested in this and it was a complete farce. A person with good intentions would not have manupulated people this way. 
Schroder sq and the new talea
Lewm: You stated: "For what it's worth, from where I stood in the back of the room, I slightly preferred the Schroeder/Sussuro/Artemis to the Talea/DynavectorDV1S/Atma-sphere, because the former sounded a bit more lush and dynamic (to me, from whe... 
Review: AudioMachina Maestro Ti-200 Speaker
Karl used to live near me and I have had the pleasure of spending quite a bit of time with him and a number of models that he has built. He is a GREAT guy who is extremely honest and trustworthy. He is passionate about what he does and it shows in... 
Playback Designs vs. Berkeley
Contact Bruce Brown at Puget Sound Studios. He has done the comparison. Also Mike Lavigne.Jonathan TinnPlayback Designs 
Schroder sq and the new talea
Oh, I also forgot that Frank Schroeder also, at the last minute, decided to use a different phonostage that cost about $20,000 and the Talea went through the one in the integrated Atma-Sphere preamp. Nothing against the Atma-Sphere, but it certain... 
Schroder sq and the new talea
I think it was a complete waste of time. At the last minute Frank decided he did not want to use the same cartridge so there was no real way to compare apples to apples.Given the circumstances, I thought both sounded good, but I preferred the Tale... 
wilsom MAXX3 or Evolution Acoustics MMThree ?
Janeb: Please re-read my post. I think you missed my question. It was:"With all due respect, how can you know Ed's room is "waaay too small?" He never even posted his dimensions."Your response was:"I think you will find that the effect of trying t...

Janeb: With all due respect, how can you know Ed's room is "waaay too small?" He never even posted his dimensions.Ed mentioned that he had a lack of bass foundation, not a situation of bass overload. If the room was "waaay too small," wouldn't you...

Don, get a 45 rpm classic records copy. It is worth it. 
Upgrade rack before Vibration Control?
You may want to try a product which we make called the Wave Kinetics A10-U8. I have compared them to extremely expensive rack systems and have found them to alleviate the need to use them any more. You can use these with ordinary furniture and rec... 
Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ?
I agree with Mike. The Talea is one of the most special tonearms I have heard. While I would recommend the Phantom over the Triplaner, they are fairly close in performance. I find the Talea to be in another class.It is a beautiful looking and soun... 
EMT turntables as good as other great vintage TT?
The 948's come up for sale every now and then. I would venture you will pay 3500 and up depending upon condition. I paid $11000 for a brand new one I found in Europe. I have never had a service issue on any of mine and they are really built like t... 
EMT turntables as good as other great vintage TT?
Great thread. I have had quite a few EMT turntables and currently own 5 948's and 2 950's. The 948 and the 950 are very similar. I enjoy them more than the 930 or the 927. If you are looking for something easy and built to lasty for many decades, ...
