| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @rsf507 Thank You. @pindac Steven Leung was a pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend his services, but other than repairing the MSL's defect he had no role in the quality of it's reproduction. This lies entirely with the designer Matsud... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often JBL made a bunch of clinkers, they all did including Klipsch. Paul Klipsch came up with the center channel because his K horns had to go in corners which in many rooms were to far apart creating the famous "Hole in the Middle" WIth a center channe... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @erik_squires . The single most expensive part of speaker manufacture is the laber by a huge margin. As an example my subwoofers use about $1000 worth of parts, drivers, and materials. One subwoofer enclosure has 168 hours of labor start to finis... | |
| Studer A807 @letitbe1306 In this day and age analog Reel to Reel tape machines need be only museum pieces. What little software that is available (at ridiculous prices) is better purchased as hi res digital files. If your goal is to record other people's sp... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac The repairs made to this cartridge are not going to change the sonic characteristics of this cartridge in any way. Nor did the original fault which was a noise in the left channel some 50-60 dB down. It will be easy to determine if the c... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @cleeds \ No, not that I am aware of. @lewm I can't say what it was exactly Lew. A filament is the best description I could come up with. It was covered in glue. It crossed over both leads, it was involving the left channel and I could find n... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @rsf507 Thanx for the consideration, but I do not need or want any blows lessened. Cartridge had a problem. Cartridge off warranty. Cartridge fixed. End of story, for me anyway. | |
| Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion? @deadhead1000 I do not care at all what anyone else says something sounds like. You have to have more confidence in your own abilities including hearing. The problem for most people is that they do not have a solid reference. What should a certa... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @cathyboston Exactly. I would don your radiation suit. @jonderda , @lewm The problem has already been adequately described. What I found on removing the cover was a filament lying across the lead out wires of the left channel coil which are ... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @lewm Everyone loves a tragedy. Maybe I can put an end to it. Steven Leung has fixed the cartridge and it is on the way back to me minus $330.00. Sure Beats $6000. | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. It's a good thing I stayed out of this. | |
| RCA splitter @santani Exactly what are you trying to do? Normally, when you are "biamping" you connect the outputs of your preamp to an active crossover which splits the signal in two at the selected frequency leading to two 2 channel outputs, hi and low fre... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @cathyboston Magic! | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac For political reasons Ortofon changed the name of the Anna to the MC Diamond and upgraded the suspension to that used in the Verismo. The MC Diamond is essentially the Verismo with its pants on. I am listening to it right now. Cowboy Jun... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac Well, I am running an MC Diamond now and it is very similar to the Verismo and as long as you have a phono stage with a very good signal to noise ratio you can not do much better. It is a bit out of the price range you mentioned but that... |
