| Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US? AGAIN, thank you for the advice and guidance. My 2-ch system is packed for transport, in my residential move from Scottsdale to Las Vegas. I'll hold off on further action until I set up the system in my new home. Mijostyn - I may well conside... | |
| Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US? Thanks for all the input and sorry for being absent from the party. I was called away from home on an emergency and am just finally getting around to reading your comments. I should add, on second thought, a new development. A wealthy audiophile ... | |
| Origin Live Tonearms NOT MUCH FOCUS HERE ON THE ACTUAL TOPIC....ORIGIN LIVE TONEARMS | |
| Kuzma Stabi Reference vs Avid Acutus Avid has become a joke. The company has made the decision to become totally inflexible, in requiring their customers to purchase TT bundled with their choice of tonearm and cartridge. There is no option for upgrading the classic PSU (which weigh... | |
| How does wood hardness affect the sound of a TT on a wood TT platform? So few of the geniuses above provide any practical, REAL, scientific insight into what Janka Scale hardness might be best for TT isolation. Why don't you just say you're not certain rather than bloviating about what might work? | |
| Ayon or Pass There more I watch Guttenberg, the more I question his genuine commitment to the gear he "often so casually" gives passing grades to. His reviews have become increasingly subjective as he uses flowery descriptive words that lack any real audio sp... | |
| Ayre QX-5 Twenty bander - "blew it away" huh? On that advice, I'm gonna purchase a unit from MojoAudio??....who is this company. 2 men and a dog, in a garage?? A little bit of nepotism going on here? | |
| CD transport vs.streaming I know some of the clowns above (and jokers) are able to HEAR, but how many of them actually know how to LISTEN? The speakers are ALWAYS the most critical component that affects one's perception of sonic characteristics. And when I hear nonsense... | |
| What Brand Of Hearing Aids Are Audiophiles Using? Hmmm....I went to Costco. Tried a pair of Phillips walking around the store for over an hour. They were horrendous....it sounded like I was in a futuristic science fiction movie. I later went to another audiologist and and actually purchased a ... | |
| The new Borresen M1's...a new direction? I have significant experience with the Raidho D1.1 and a bit less listening experience with other D series models. So, in a "very short period of time", Borresen with the M1 came up with an extravagant variation of the D1.1 design (with even stif... | |
| The Sota Cosmos Vacuum Turntable @mijostyn You suggested somewhere in this thread that the Nova VI (and now the VII?) comes to within 99% of the Cosmos. I believe the latest Nova with the full Eclipse package and vacuum prices out at around $8500. The comparable Cosmos prices o... | |
| Reference System TT - Dr. Feickert Analogue or Sota How pathetic are some of these comments. It is very clear as to WHO on this thread is actually experienced and knowledgable about the intricacies of turntable subject matter, compared to those "wanna be experts" who merely tout the brand(s) they ... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? Going back to the many skeptics and sour grape guys in 2021. Tell me.....how many companies are there where the CEO (Kevin Hayes) is highly likely to answer the phone when you contact the company??....and then he will speak with you for as long a... | |
| Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important? The majority of the highly technical responses above lack practicality if one wants to avoid making a turntable system a many years long project. There is definitely a sweet spot that "might" be achieved if just three vinyl system components, tur... | |
| Pass labs XA-160.8 monos - or - Mark Levinson 536 monos for Magico's fsmithjack I own a VAC Signature MkIIse preamp with line and phono stage. I don't think it can get too much better from a sonic perspective....BUT (and a real big BUT), at this price level, we are deep into diminishing incremental returns territ... |
