| New 55,000 Euro tonearm let’s just say that a passive magnet has performance potential; but a sufficiently engineered powered magnetic field has an apparently much higher effect on performance. i’m not claiming any particular effect of the field coil. but i am saying th... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm @dover i've owned a few unipivots; many years ago (late 90's, into 2001) i owned a couple of Graham arms; the 1.5 and the 1.5tc. they were a bit wobbly. never owned a Phantom or Graham after that. i've owned 2 Durand Telos unipivots, and a Dura... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm Dear @mikelavigne : "" the FCL is doing things that no other arm can do. "" That’s a serious statement, so I would like to ask: like what things? Thank’s in advance. @rauliruegas tonight i’m bringing out some of my big classical guns to rea... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm out of curiosity what do you consider great arms say in the 5 - 10k range? Kuzma 4Point? 4POINT9? https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2020/09/27/glanz-mh-124s-premium-tonearm-review/ or stretch to a used Durand Tosca. that would be the smart play. | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm Early days, but how does it compare to the Durand Tosca - particularly in terms of transparency and overall balance. @dover 24 hours in with the Primary Control FCL, it fair to say it has a leg up on the Tosca in terms of liquidity, textures an... | |

| Which device makes for a better digital music source? Computer or streamer? really; there are three different circumstances regarding this question; "it depends"..... 1--at the entry level it’s a horse apiece.....computers are servers. servers are computers. maybe a dedicated server has slightly less noise, and maybe a b... | |
| Speakers known for great midrange. Harbeth, they are all pretty good. never disappoint. almost every time i hear them at audio shows they are an oasis of musical ease and envelopment. tonal density extraordinaire. with a the right amp.....don't really know your Pass, it might be p... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm while counting angels on heads of pins has it’s advantages, musical expression is a bit more complicated than that. nothing wrong with being a great tool for investigation, but does it satisfy? not saying it does not, although i get mixed feedback... | |

| New 55,000 Euro tonearm i ordered the Primary Control FCL tone arm in January from the Netherlands, and should receive it next week. this arm uses field coil loading for the bearing. https://www.primarycontrol.nl/Field_Coil_Loaded_Unipivot_Tonearm.html a friend who als... | |
| Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server--arrived in my room. @wsrrsw G R E A T. Good on you.

| Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server--arrived in my room. @lalitk Would you please consider expanding on your comments…I am genuinely interested in learning what brand of TT, cart and phono at $40K would transcends a $100K in digital setup. Looking forward to your recommendations! each of my 3 turnt... | |
| Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server--arrived in my room. @chayro it’s hard to give answers in purely price terms with analog, and performance is not that predictable relative to price. some vintage is not so expensive, and DIY efforts can make big differences. and the quality of the pressings of vinyl ... |
