Basis bearing lube - Debut and Ovation
Refloating from the depth this thread to avoid opening a new one with pretty much the same issues:I wonder if anyone can point at me how to check/fill in the oil in the bearing house on a Basis Debut TT? I have the original manual but it does not ... 
Mark Levinson 320s tape loop?
Well, I checked with ML, and this is their reply:"The No.320S/No.326S do not have the "EQ" or "external proceesor" loop like the No.38?380 or No.32. This is a feature that we have seen less and less request for over the years, sorry."Case closed, ... 
Who knows about dCS?
Thank you for the reply. I have received the same info: the "old" Elgar will not decode DSD, so either I need an Elgar Plus or a Delius with firewire (whatever that is). I wonder how much of a difference will it make to go from 24/192 to DSD on PC... 
Who knows about dCS?
Retrieving this old thread:I have just bought a Verdi LaScala transport, and I wonder how to get the DSD upsampling feature to work (I have not received the unit just yet, nor the manual to read).Do I understand it well if I assume that I'll need ...

Hi Pops, great set up you have there! Wich TT are you thinking of? I'm in love with the Basis 2500 or the Nott Dais with a TriPlanar arm... I honestly don't expect (neither I think it would) changes with burn-in. Besides, if it takes whatever more... 
Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s?
Hi all :-)))) (big grin!). What to say? I haven't stopped listening since I brought the monsters upstairs. These amps are really gorgeous! I can now understand why everyone pointed at the 1201's. Even my close friend that owns a pair of 501's was ...

4/4 update> I closed a deal on a set of 1201 this morning, money is already wired, and the seller (a shop in the EU) tells me that in abt. 3 days I'll have my puppies. Thought of sharing this since y'all been so involved helping me decide with ... 
Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s?
I have made up my mind...My heart (and my lovely wife) had me deciding to buy a pair of MC1201's. I have located a few ex-dem here in Europe (very rare on the 2nd hand market, disgustingly expensive brand new, goes for 30k$/pair!), so hopefully on...

Thanks Arthur. I appreciate your comments, it makes me even more comfortable to learn that your combination Mc/JMlab is apparently what I imagine (that's all what I can do, this will be a blind choice) it'll be on my own system. Brgds, Marcelo
