| 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... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi PeterVery nice write up for all the relevant components of the La Platine. A lot of information, and I did peak into the link from Audio Qualia which is new to me. The Magna Audio and Galibier Design sites, I am familiar, but never knew the ebo... | |
| The Mutech RM Kanda Hyabusa Let me preface by saying that the Terminator replaced a SME V and it was not even close. Now the SME V is not a Schroeder, but for the Terminator to outperform a veteran arm is, to me, impressive. And I also plead guilty to not appreciating many o... | |
| The Mutech RM Kanda Hyabusa The present setup with the Lino C and Lightspeed Passive Attenuator is on paper diametrically opposite to my previous rig, MFA Luminescence A2. Both Fremer and the TAS reviewer called the Lino on the warm side of neutral. However, for me coming fr... | |
| The Mutech RM Kanda Hyabusa A Lino C 2.0 + ZYX Ultimate 100 ( impedance 4 ohm ) is my current setup. The adjustable gain is set at +12db which achieves approximately 75 db with the 4 ohm input. Rob at Channel D had cautioned that using the highest gain may cause distortion d... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @sgunther The brass manifold is chrome or nickel plated with a satin finish, so no worries there. |
