Not a free fall. Interesting. I'm all ears. Active isolation? I thought a concrete foundation was pretty isolated, unless you live in California on the fault line. Tell me it's your wife that liked the look:)

mikelavigne, you ever listen to JC-1's in your system? Maybe just a slightly better value many of us can afford.  
Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction?
jtimothya, I am going to do that tomorrow! I will take an Air Force 1 with a 4 point 11 and an SME 30/12 with a 4 point 11 both with PC-1 Supreme's and make that comparison. I already have the 30/12. mikelavigne will lend me the other $150,000 and... 
Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction?
jtimothya, let me explain it to you as carefully as I can. Unless you are a Martian you are bound by the same rules of human physiology the rest of us are. I shall state it again. Our brains are very sensitive to volume and phase. This information... 
I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology
Thanx Mike I would love to. You wouldn't happen to have any dealers in New England?Right now I use a TACT 2.2x for my front end which is more like The Trinnov Amethyst which is an ST2 with a few more inputs and a volume control. The room correctio...

Arion, I just came from your web site and I really like a lot of what you are doing. Using the Trinnov for bass management duties is brilliant. I would never use an analog crossover in this position. Crossing at 120 Hz is also great. I cross at 12...

Next time make sure you get speakers with butyl rubber surrounds. They last considerably longer. As far as the magnet separating from the basket is concerned it was most likely a defective weld. If a metal part cracked defective metallurgy would b...

Thanx for the description lewm. I would really like to hear the Monaco table. I could do it if I sold one of my tables.jtimothya, yes we are very sensitive to timing but not in that way. We are sensitive to the time and volume differential between... 
Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction?
I'm not sure if I have any QRP records but I have quite a few RTI pressings and they are great, certainly up there with the best. 3-6 months behind? So much for the death of vinyl.Phoenix, it appears David Karmeli does not have a web site. I can f...

No kidding. Just for the record phoenix what turntable manufacturers drives do you like the best and why? 
Who remembers audio from the time when ...
tomic60, just a shovel? By back hurts thinking about it. I just had to do the stairs with a shovel and I know about those Ohio winters. Did my residency in Akron. It's a long story but I wound up being one of the House Docs at the Richmond Colosse...

flupson, the membrane is very sensitive and will make a racket against any solid surface. It is extremely difficult to hold it absolutely still. The bell is usually covered in rubber and you want a solid connection to the turntable.
