| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? Thanks for your info on the 202MkVII Al. Good to knowI just wanted to let R2R and cassette deck owners know that there is another alternative to repairing these decks at a (probably) lower cost than Soundsmith or Willie Herman. I’ve used New Jerse... | |

| Speakers for a very large room? Another vote for a sub woofer (I failed to mention earlier) with the Khorns. You would think those massive speakers with 15" woofers would produce deep base, but they really don't. I had 1 sub, but I read a lot here that say 2 are better. Might be... | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days Well we retired to SC (Myrtle Beach) recently and I believe there may be more audiophiles than you think down here nowadays. It seems everyone we meet is from NY, NJ, CT, PA- retirees. Just meet a guy last month who has a Legacy/ Bryston system. H... | |
| Luxman Component Feet Sometimes the feet have a threaded shaft that screws into the chassis and sometimes there is a receiving nut on the inside of the chassis. If that's the case you will have to remove the bottom chassis so you don't loose the nut inside your unit. I... | |
| Dynavector XX-2 MkII, riding too low? Is there any way you can inspect the threaded shaft of the headshell to see if it is bent in any way? | |
| Dynavector XX-2 MkII, riding too low? A bad headshell to arm connection? | |
| Dynavector XX-2 MkII, riding too low? The first thing I noticed is that all 3 of the cartridge photos show the rear of the cartridge body lower than the front (uneven spacing to the record). | |
| Dynavector XX-2 MkII, riding too low? I have this cart and there is about an 1/8" clearance on mine. I would think somethings not right. | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days I've been into audio since the early seventies. I must have just missed the tube testers in the drug stores because I never saw that. Certainly there is a demand for this hobby, but I believe it's slowly fading away for sure. I must have had 3 or ... | |
| Speakers for a very large room? Large room, rock, tubes = KlipschornsHad them for over 25 years in a large(ish) room and loved them. Of coarse you would need 2 corners for them. You can probably get them used in near perfect condition in you price range. They come around every s... | |
| Zerostat Milty really? I had bad static issues as well in my past home in NY. Carpet throughout. The Zerostat Milty did nothing for the static issue. I ended up with an Acoustech Big Record brush. That got rid of the static. Funny thing is, I just bought it for a record... | |
| Replacement for Lyra Titan i Just saw a new thread over in MISC titled "Good Ole Boys Club"Talk about timingGotta get back to my learning experience now. | |
| Replacement for Lyra Titan i @jperry I would hope one would warn the OP about the possibility of a cartridge degrade when recommending a 3rd party rebuild...............instead of an inexperienced poster having to do so. | |
| Replacement for Lyra Titan i I never tried a rebuild by a 3rd party, but read a lot here who say it's just not the same (sound) as the original manufacturer does. |
