Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
Dover,What is "the ball insert option"? on Platine Verdier, you've mentioned? Never heard of it.Thanks 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
Syntax,Could you make any comments on the reliability of the Micro Seiki RX-5000. What are the most common problems, that MS owners encounter, if any?And what to pay attention to, when buying one?Also, do you have any input on Transrotor TTs, espe... 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
Peterayer,I know exactly what you mean, but at the same time I want to try a totally different approach- High Mass BD, vs. DD.Vibraplane, or Minus K is the next step though. 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
Whart,Thank you for your response. Our systems are indeed very similar.It's so happens, that I know owners/ designer of your Veloce linestage. They are both members of our Philadelphia Area Audio Group.One day I will try to arrange an audition of ... 
Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?
I tried them under my Avantgarde Duo Omega G2. They increase detail, tighten up bass and make sound stage more "precise".I cannot comment on if my experience with Avantgarde will translate exactly to your Merlins.I wonder, why do you think Bobby P... 
Avantgarde Duo G2 ? sound problem
I don't know, if that will help you, but I had similar, if not exactly the same problem with my Duo's (I thought), that turned out to be old failing tubes in my CD player output stage.Don't necessarily assume it's a speaker. 
Why has Avantgarde Quality Slipped ?
As an Avantgarde owner, I would like to share my personal experience with the dealers and the company.I bought my pair new from a dealer about 1 1/2 years ago, and it was delivered directly from Avantgarde factory in Germany to my door.Speakers we... 
Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard?
Siliab,I think your impression is "room and system dependent"so to speak.I heard 7s extensively in friend's system on very familiar dynamic classical recordings, and I have to tell you, that bass impact and extension were simply outstanding, bette... 
Pass Labs amps and Avantgarde speakers
Blazar, great system and the room. I looked-up your thread on AVS Forum, very involved construction process.It so happens, I have the very same speakers, Avantgarde Duo Omega G2, and my speaker placement is fairly similar to yours, at least in ter... 
Power cord for Technics SP-10MkII
I'll just try one of my DCCA PCs on it. I thought there are owners out there, who actually tried it. Again, I don't expect to hear much of a difference, but then again, there were times, when I didn't believe PC could make a difference, and was pr... 
Need advice on new TT, arm and cartridge.
Unoear, Thank you. Reading some Graham reviews, I was left with an impression, that it sounds somewhat "thinner" and "less full in the midrange", than say SME, or Tri- Planar.I don't know if the same could be said about Graham Phantom Supreme, but... 
Need advice on new TT, arm and cartridge.
Syntax,I openly admit to being fairly new to analogue, hence my inquiry.Following your suggestion, could you elaborate as to why you prefer Basis to other belt-drive TW Raven One?There is a Technics SP10 MkII in Porter plinth with SME 312 S arm fo... 
Need advice on new TT, arm and cartridge.
Vic,How would you describe SP 10 sound signature?, and how it's different from say TW Raven One? 
Need advice on new TT, arm and cartridge.
Jeremy72,Thanks for the advice. I do also consider Artisan Fidelity tables, and even had a chance to speak with Chris at the last RMAF.But here is the thing- I still don't know what would be the sonic differences b/w let's say his Technics SP10 Mk... 
Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE
On the other hand, I think your Ayon Triton should be perfectly fine, as well.The answer to your concern lies elsewhere- room placement, acoustic treatments, support system under the speakers, etc.i can tell you from my experience, that moving a c...
