| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Bowie - Low on Ryko gold disc. You know, cuz it's gold! That's always better than silver. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair My cartridge is done. I'm ordering the Dr. Feickert from musicdirect since it covers all three methods. Looks like I'll be getting setup sooner than I had anticipated. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair Update, they trim by hand to match length. So, no worries there. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair I sent them an email. They're very responsive. Thanks for the assistance everyone! I really appreciate it. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair Soundsmith said that the aluminum they use is not the same as the aluminum that the original cantilever was made from so a choice based on that was irrelevant (my words). The strongest option is boron so I went with their recommendation on that. S... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair Wouldn’t Soundsmith maintain the same cantilever length?There's a manual? I'll check... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair I will hopefully mount this thing and never mess with it again, well you know what I mean. So the Mint sounds good to me. I like the idea of: "If Stevenson was good enough for Mr. Ikeda then it's good enough for me." I don't see changing this ever... | |
| Mhdt Labs Orchid Because that other thread is about other DAC's and goes on forever about a host of things, I'll just say that I'm happy as a clam with my Orchid. My CD playback is so good that I'm not missing vinyl (my cart is out for repair). I've always like CD... | |

| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair They said my cartridge survived the damage but needed replacement. I was worried something was torqued deep inside. They're suggesting the boron option, I've asked about the change in sound since the original was aluminum. The story continues. | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA footers: impressions The speakers don't have threads, they're B&W 805's. I suppose perhaps I could use the Herbie Gliders as a first step. Perhaps Isopucks under the speakers... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present Tldr;To answer the original question, none, since Jadis quit making the Eurythmie. | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA footers: impressions Perhaps I bite the bullet and spike the speakers and put the Gaia's from stand to floor. I went through a variety of articles and videos, but didn't see any mentioning for stands for mini-monitors. It is an odd thing to not speak to stand mounted ... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair Thanks for the information, both of you. I'll see what they say when they get back to me and ask about aluminum/nude contact line diamond combo. I thought the cartridge had a magical something that I never heard in subsequent cartridges I tried. A... |
