| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Thom, thanks for your input. The new website info on the motor is very informative. I have a question: The new generation motor is improved, it seems to me, on three fronts: better electronic circuitry, better power supply, and higher torque moto... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Peter,My apologies for this late reply. I have been looking into motor options, SOTA, Galibier, Derenville, and GT Tron. Graham Tricker wrote that his motors are no longer available, except for some aluminium motor housings. On the Galibier web-si... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Please post results once Zavfino wires are in place. I would be extremely curious!I am also having a silver tonearm wire custom made. The wire I ordered is from Aural Harmony. Twisted configuration is how it will be implemented and paired with a ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Ok, Spirit, thanks!But how do you calibrate? Do you take measurements at outside, middle, and inside platter positions every other day? Do you err on adjusting to a higher VTF ? Goes without saying, but ‘tis a design flaw. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update A question on setting VTF : In a recent adjustment to the wire harness, I decided to pull it closer to the cartridge. The wire harness rests on the front face of the slider. Small adjustment to the harness is necessary as we play records.The probl... | |

| 100 W Tube Amplifier Malfunctioned @ fuzztone The brand is Von Gaylord Audio, previously Legend Audio, with very good owners’ reviews. I count myself truly unlucky to have encountered two malfunctioned amp from the same manufacturer. :( | |
| 100 W Tube Amplifier Malfunctioned The reason for buying this new amp, The Nirvana Mono, was because one of the previous amps, The Triode Mono from Von Gaylord, malfunctioned. I sent both amps back to Von Gaylord for repair. I was told that amps being some twenty years old were be... | |

| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ perart1 Would you consider selling the Callas Mod Kit? | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ perart1 The disparity between MDF and Granito plinth is very informative. Not much discussion here. I suppose the same goes for the arm board. Solid wood (ebony ) or wood / brass combination trumps the MDF arm board, I'd imagine. The Callas Mod ... | |
| Ever Hear a Tube CD player? I listen mainly to vinyl. However, for the past two months, I have made a concerted effort to enhance my digital listening experience. I added a tube DAC to a vintage Wadia 16 CDP. The DAC is from Marvalve, a boutique maker from Taiwan.See review... | |
