| Hairdryer for Sale on Gon I think that "we who post frequently or read the forums" should modify our words to reflect that there are few if any absolutes about all of the members on the Gon. We included me and I don't take any major or even minor offense, but realized that... | |
| If you had 10k to spend on tube amp????? They wouldn't accept my post I said by a brand of truly world class monoblocks another brand of 845s if you perfer and an inexpensive big co brand pre.The only thing is I know the fellow who wholesales one of the brands mentioned Comnplete disclos... | |
| DynaVector DV505 is it worth the hassle? The comment I have is that I think Albert is right. I own a Dynevector XX20 H.O. and it is right on top of the vinyl no VTA adjustment unipivot bearing. The detail is fantastic . So much so that after carefully washing the record with great fluids... | |
| Upgrade turntable, arm or cartridge? yes the tone arm sound like the ticket . However the most un realized problem in TTs is very simple how does the stylus look on theVan De Hul. they do wear . If you get a new table get a Walker, a bit tweaky but is analog at its best . | |
| Now they call 80s gear vintage. For the sake of not paying the obscene duty and taxes for British export and Scandinavia which I have used. An item is considered antique if it 100 years old. !00 is clearly not a period of audio gear but by 1920 radio ruled. A lot of people seem ... | |
| Where are you today? I have gone thru various iterations using different systems, simultaneously but none lavish and none really expensive I generally have 3 systems function ready to play at present the main rig's power amp is tube. I would like to comment that a tub... | |
| Pet audiophile peeves - name yours Yes I love those hot stampers whose got all of them? Mine are stamped when the master is cold and I end up with blobs of semi cool vinyl with a few traces of the tracks. Acutally I know what some of the inner dead space markings now mean but just ... | |
| The Definition of An Audiophile GOLDARAK,thank you for being a true linguist I love that stuff really.I do have to add another component to part one of your defintion. It should IMHO include using much of their income disposable or indisposable on part 2 of your definition.Audia... | |
| Best P-Mount Cartridge MC or MM Thank you for the responses. I have some good leads now. Could either or any describe the pickering that is in this tiny sample loved or hated? Also I didn't know many Grados are available as P mounts. I have not been a big fan of the ones I tried... | |
| The Definition of An Audiophile This question or more properly negative diatribe has been written so many times I am surprised that the moderaters didn't immediately spit it back at you .As for your problem about people making a hobby of listening to their music for their own en... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Mr Stark I want to explain. I didn't put this together in one fell swoop it took over 5 years. The single most important contribution were the use of the Cyber 800 tube power amps. The entire line of "Cyber" from Consonace is remarkable. I opted f... | |
| Dead Trans Rotor TT, Drive Take it to your dealer and asked for a refund assuming that you have taken good care of it. Or Get another one from him to use while the parts are being assembled from scratch. Or go cuting edge instead of multiple pulleys and motors no strings or... | |
| Cartridge suggestions mmf-7.1 This is presicely why I am hoping for days like the ones 30 years ago. I owned Yamaha YP 211 it was all set up and if you wore down a stylus you simply yanked out the cantelever and any entrails and inserted a new one at the stereo store. There ar... | |
| music hall MMF 9.1 where are all the reviews? I own a whole bunch of tables BSP (before silly period) and then two that would be chortled at for their lacking any special anything but now of the PVE Post Vinyl Era. My first a MMf 5 is fairly simple and culminating in (so far anyway) a VPI Sco... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! I have it now. Nirvana at last- 800 Consonance monoblocks (lest you think I jest check the Blue moon award,) these amps are incredible . I never met an EH I ever liked. These are incredible, with the stock of four EH 6CA7s true tetrode each. Drive... |
