Shunmook ebony weight owners
Geoffkait have some good Points - the wood (African Ebony) is very hard to work, you have to be a Wood Turner with right equipment to do it. They also use special oil on it and the Crystal is just high quality Diamond. The higher quality the Diamo... 
Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what?
Triangle Art Reference SE - $28Khttp://triangleart.net/referencese1/ 
$7K to spend on new turntable + arm
Check out Triangle Art and their new Tonearm - work of art in my opinion: http://triangleart.net/turntables/osiris-tonearm/Their Symphony Turntable is a good start - doesn't look it but weight 120lbs, rock solid Turntable at reasonable price! 
has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak
Crystal does work - i don't know how it does but i work. I have been experimenting and playing with crystal (mainly Diamond) for years. I have put them in my Turntable Clamp, glue them to my motor but have not tried it on the Headshell yet. The be... 
My Triangle Art Experience
Yes, i have their Reference Turntable and love it. I had the VPI TNT, Basis Ovation, Teres 340, Oracle Delphi Mrk V and Clearaudio Reference - went through quite a few; none of them had the Dynamics and Soundstage as the Triangle Art and price is ...

DarTZeels for sale
The reason for the recent Phantom on Audiogon is that Bob Graham just came out with the Phantom Mark II so people are selling it to upgrade! 
Measure My Turntable Speed
Anyone tried these laser Tachometer in Ebay? They are very reasonably price (~$30) and let you measure the RPM with your record/clamp in place?I am going to buy and try one to see how good these things are! 
Graham Phantom vs Triplaner
I agree with Raul that there are lots of other variables when it come to tonearm comparisons. There is NO one tonearm or for that matter one cartridge that can do it all - that's why Raul have 7-8 tonearms and more cartridges than i can count that... 
Graham Phantom vs Triplaner
Let me say again that my impression of these tonearms is based on MY OPINION and on my SYSTEM. Everybody has their own opinion on what's too bright or too warm - so the best thing sometimes is to try the tonearm yourself and see what's suit you bu... 
Graham Phantom vs Triplaner
Downunder,I had both tonearms on the Teres 340 which accommodate 2 arms and did them under very similar conditions so it was a very fair comparison - i tried to match them very close for this comparison (using both Dynavector XV-1s, same phono cab... 
How Much Is TOO MUCH for a Analog front End?
For us working Joe - $10-15K should get you there close to Nirvana. Ridiculous table like the Continuum Caliburn is just that - plain ridiculous. For the money, the Teres 340 with the Verus drive is an excellent choice and great value; throw in th... 
Harmonics TU-800 EX Turntable mat.
I had the new version Harmonix mat and the Boston Mat - Fremer must have the older version as i don't think it's soft or congested at all. If anything, it's too detailed and focus!It is better than the Boston mat but doest cost more!!Regards,Khoi 
Experience with Raul's Essential 3150
I have been reading this thread with great interest as i am looking for something simpler to replace my 2 unit system (preamp and phono preamp). But i am always been a tube man so it's hard for me to imagine any non-tube unit that can be as good.S...
