| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Well Guys,I've just finished dinner with Paul Frumkin and Steve Dobbins after listening for most of the afternoon in my newly remodeled audio room. You'll never find two nicer guys. Thank you to all of you that have posted and written me private e... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Shasta,What a wonderful idea. Consider it done.Barb and I just returned from a trip to my home state. This was a trip that I would never have paid for myself because at times like these one must be prudent with finances. A dear friend surprised us... | |
| Attention LP12 Valhalla owners Have you actually checked the speed? The symptoms of a Vahalla going bad is speeding up and slowing down very slightly. Find a test record with a band of black stripes on the label and check it under a light. I think all Valhalla's have a 50 Hz mo... | |
| Attention LP12 Valhalla owners I did repair my two successfully. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Well, if Kelly can come out so can I. You guys. I've alwasys considered myself to be tough. Had to be growing up chubby with the name of Pat. But, I'm a sentimental guy and the thoughts in this post have lifted my spirits, not to mention made me c... | |
| Supratek ?? Jon,I'm so glad to read that you're keeping you Syrah besides sticking with vinyl for the time being. Hell, even if you dump the vinyl the linestage alone is worth owning this truly wonderful piece.Patrick | |
| How Good Can Digital Get? I really find this back and forth with Lazarus28 to be very interesting indeed. It seems he owns the very digital gear I find so damn good. The thing that perplexes and troubles me is he HAD a 265 that seems not to have competed with the EMM Labs ... | |
| How Good Can Digital Get? As one who is strictly analog based I can say in no uncertain terms that I have gained a great deal of respect for digital of late. The EMM Labs gear is truely breathtaking. Too bad it's so far out of my reach. In the end though, whichever medium ... | |
| Most powerful fluid for record cleaning machine ? No doubt, AIVS. | |
| linn kairn/kolector or tube preamp I bought an old Audible Illusions preamp which probably needs to be recapped and it simply dusts my Wakonda in my Aktiv Linn system. Every aspect is much better. I have also used a Supratek Syrah to great success but alas it belongs to a friend. I... | |
| Managing stiff PC on lightweight component Assuming it's long enough go to Office Depot and buy some velcro. Shape the power cord to run along the back side of your equipment rack. Secure it to the rack leg in a couple fo places with the velcro. The type I'm referring to has the hooks on o... | |
| Budget MC cartridge for a Rega P3 &Supratek Syrah? If the arm on your Rega can tolerate the Denon I would suggest it first and second the Dynavector. I'm going to get blasted for this but if you need a higher compliance cartridge I'd suggest a Sumiko Blue Point Special. | |
| linn speaker ninka- active vs passive James,I'd go Aktiv, as Linn spells it. If you would like an all Linn Aktiv system there is one currently for sale here for $2500. It's a Keilidh/three LK100 Aktiv setup. I have this same system with a good tube preamp and it's killer for the money... | |
| Best Platter Mat For Linn Sondek IMO, the stock felt mat is best. The purpose of a suspended table is to isolate and the felt mat suits that purpose. | |
| Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor? I'd just contract with Tom to build you one. Other than that I have a suggestion that can really appreciate quickly. The 000-18's (21's, 28's, etc.) are highly sought after for a variety of reasons in most major cities but can still be found for t... |
