| Best NOS tubes for MFA Luminescence I have been using Brimar 6SN7's. They are hard to find. The tech guy who helps maintain my Lumis sold me the tubes three years ago. He doesn's have anymore.The tubes seem to reinforce the warm/dark side of the Lumi. Very good. | |
| Verdier Upgrade Kit i will take more -and hopefully better- pictures of the kit in which any Platine owner can get a better clue.Hi Tuboo,Yes you should take better photos and make a better presentation to the audiophile public of your mod.I am reminded of the new Wi... | |
| Verdier Upgrade Kit Hi Tuboo,The concept of the magnetic platter is that it would float free from the plinth of the TT with the only point of contact at the spindle. A part of your mod kit addresses problems that arises at this point of contact. Correct?The opposing ... | |
| Verdier Upgrade Kit Wow! Tuboo, thank you for your post. You have said quite alot. I for one will give the mod kit a closer look. | |
| Verdier Upgrade Kit Yes, from the face of it the upgrade kit looks really 'generic' considering the price! The callas site is also providing a new 'belt'. On this point I would like your opinion. I have now switched to the rubber belt originally provided by Verdier a... | |
| Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of... I too vote for Blue Nile, 'A walk on the Roof Top' is excellent.Another 80's recording, Laszlo Gardony 'The Secret', my favorite jazz recording. | |
| verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace Doug,Thanks for the Teres 320/Verdier comparison. I have always wondered about the relative value of the two decks. It does seem that a Verdier is not a great value compared to a Teres 320. Oh well! In the end, I believe the mag platter/bearing is... | |
| verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace Charlie,Thanks for the advice. Too many things to upgarde, the arm, the cartdridge, and now the battery pack! Do you connect the PSU directly to the Verdier motor drive or do you need the GT Audio motor?Birdyy8,Back to the original thread compairi... | |
| verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace The Verdier is fitted with a SME V and Shelter 501. My dealer wanted me to upgarde to a Schroder though I have done nothing yet.I believe Tron in UK makes a custom drive for the Verdier. Galibier makes a motor drive that Verdier owners have used. ... | |
| verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace I have compared the NA, Kuzma Ref, and the Verdier. I went with the Verdier. It is a much more sophisticated design with its magnetic platter. Its motor drive is the weak link, but it can be upgraded. The sound quality of a stock Verdier beats the... | |
| Wadia ? I would like to let everyone know that my Wadia 16 has been repaired by Wadia. Keith at Wadia responded to my initial thread. And a couple months later, my dealer told me that the player is on its way back from Wadia. Perhaps the change in ownersh... | |
| Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables? I've had the PV for over a year. My previous tt for over ten years was a Townshend rock III. The PV is one amazing tt, so much so that I don't listen to cds (through a Wadia 16) anymore. Its strength is its ability to simply let the music flow. Ea... | |
| Wadia ? Bombaywalla,Thanks for your measured comments. I have to say the 16 had been a joy to listen to, so I will exlopre the Wadia option.Gnsc,Steve, I just sent you a mail regarding my 'situation'. Please let me your your thoughts. Thanks! | |
| Wadia ? Thanks! I'll contact steve today. | |
| Walker Audio Proscenium Turntable: Photo Essay This is a most informative thread. I have admired the Walker for a long time, and I have read nothing but praise for the tt. However, having lived in the far east for the past several years, I have heard quite differing opinion of the Walker here.... |
