| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco @kingrex Is your LinoC 3.3 the ‘basic’ one input version without any of the options, e.g. mono switch, polarity inversion, MM input....etc? If so, than the 3.3 is almost half price of the Loco. And you have come away saying they are comparable! I... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I wondered if any Terminator owners have been in contact with Andrey in Moscow? He is not returning emails. I would like to order a few carbon wands. Thanks! | |
| What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead? @rooze I am responding because I have the same Audio Tekne MC-6310. It was sent to Imai-san in 2021 for cantilever repair and returned much improved. It is paired with the Audio Tekne MCT-4818 SUT going to a Sun Valley tube phono. My phono is not... | |
| Quad 2912 vs Martin Logan ESL 11a @mikedaniels Thanks for your response. This is an old thread. The speakers I ended with is the Eminent Technology LFT-8b. Electrostatic speakers would not have worked where I am with +90% humidity lingering weeks on end. There are a pair of audi... | |
| Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge @noromance I assume you’re referring to the eBay ad for the Jubilee. I messaged the seller, and he confirmed that John Wright was working on it. @reimarc I called Avant-garde directly after a few unanswered email. A salesman confirmed that both... | |
| Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge Avantgarde Audio is an audio dealership in Hong Kong. They have the most competitive prices on brand new London cartridges, i.e. their price for a new Reference is lower than the refurbished one found on the ad above. Of course they don't sell ab... | |
| Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge @dogberry Thanks for the detailed explanation. The Jubilee I am about to get has indeed been sent to John Wright for a rebuilt. I use a Trans-Fi Terminator tonearm and the builder used to run a Reference. I always understand it to be a good fit.... | |
| Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge @dogberry I am in the process of acquiring a Jubilee. Could you give me a quick compare of the Jubilee to the Reference? Thanks! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover Thanks for that tip, written by a true veteran. It took me until yesterday to try it out. I cannot hear a definite improvement, but certainly didn’t hurt. I know you have moved on from the Verdier, but I am still continually intrigued so I... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I experimented with defeating the suspension of the Verdier using macassar ebony footers. These foorters were sourced locally, 2.5 cm dia. x 5 cm tall. They rest on a 1 cm dia. crystal ball and ebony cup. I use a total of six, four at each corner ... | |
| Eminent Technology 8b Speakers - Amp/wattage Recommendations @jwr159 I am going to change amps this weekend, give a more considered A/B and report back next week regarding 100w vs 20w amps' SQ on the 8b. @bdp24 New 8C upgrade consists of dipole woofers, front firing 8" and back firing 6", but in a close... | |
| Eminent Technology 8b Speakers - Amp/wattage Recommendations @jwr159 I have tried to get a pair of OB dipole subs' from Danny Richie; however, there have been shortages of one items or another for the past year and a half. An integrated woofer solution such as the 8c seems to fit my situation. However, the... | |
| Eminent Technology 8b Speakers - Amp/wattage Recommendations I have been listening to 8b’s for three years now. My room is 9 x 28, so quite a bit smaller than @jwr159. I am running a 20w Mactone-MH 300b tube amp, 300b in push- pull. I prefer this to the other 100w Von Gaylord Nirvana tube amp I own. 95db is... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @phantom_av Thanks for the update. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @phantom_av Sorry to be a nuisance, but I was wondering if your Japanese motor experiment is bearing fruit? |
