| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @lalitk I know Raul really well. His English is not so hot and at times he comes across as a bit odd. He is anything but narcissistic and his knowledge of cartridges is unsurpassed. I for one do not like equipment editorializing. I want to know ... | |
| Magnepans VS MartinLogan for detail and sound staging I am familiar with all these speakers. Going to MLs is a sideways move. If you are looking to move up then you should be looking at Magnepan 3.7is or better yet Soundlabs 545s. All these speakers benefit from TWO subwoofers and a complete 2 way cr... | |
| Cartridge upgrade @rfauto That is a fine little table and you can put any cartridge you want on it although you might have to add a little mass for some cartridges. It appears that Kiseki is pulling out of the American market as the usual retailers are not carrying... | |
| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge @stereo5 sort of against Agon's rules. I can tell you when I am about to post it then it is up to you to be first:-) | |
| Subwoofer Advice Thanx! Let me know how it works out. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @rauliruegas I know your preference for Boron and diamond cantilevers and I own both types of cantilever along with a cactus spine one. On a lark I purchased two Shure V15V bodies which were sold originally with MR styluses. Jico makes several sty... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @pindac Good luck to you Sir in all your endeavors. | |
| Subwoofer Advice @navyachts I was led to believe the speakers had tone controls on them. This is wrong? If white is what you want then the KEFs are it. I have listened to them in a system with Harbeth P3s and they are excellent. The two 9" drivers are equivalent t... | |

| How do I remove a stuck Garrard 301 from its base? @dcindc It is just stuck to the plinth the finish now acting as glue. If you have a chisel, run it into the wood under the chassis and pry up. You will put a dig into the wood, but if you do it correctly you will not damage the chassis at all. In ... | |
| SME 3009 II (improved) won't balance with Shure V15 III You shure it's the standard weight? (pun intended) Is the outrigger adjusted correctly? Is it the stock headshell? Any sign of the arm being modified? | |
| Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker? Curiosity killed the cat. | |
| Subwoofer Advice @navyachts There is not a single driver subwoofer that can match a balanced force subwoofer for accuracy. That leaves only KEF, Magico, Martin Logan and myself as options and I am not building any more. See building resonance free subwoofer thread... | |
| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge @stereo5 I just acquired two V15V MR cartridge bodies. I will order two Jico SAS/R styluses and sell one of them. I got stuck by sentimentality. | |
| SME 3009 II (improved) won't balance with Shure V15 III I believe you need a lighter balance weight. To counter you can add more mass to the headshell. Soundsmith makes an excellent set of graded cartridge screws. |
