| electrostats vs ribbon drivers Dear Florianw, Sorry for my 'nationalistic' inclination but are you European or some American who discovered the French way of life as well as the French scenery? I assume some French villa which need to be accomodated to the 'Grands'. Not sure if... | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers Florianw, Thanks for your advice and post. This Apogee Grands is very astonishing speaker to me. I own the ASR Emitter II and The Basis Exclusive phono-pre which are feed with 2 (40 kgr each) transformers + 2 battery packs (40 kgr each). I call th... | |
| Thorens TD 160 or 126? Which better? Viridian, Anyone is entitled to like or dislike whatevercomponent provided he adds 'in my opinion'. But your whatI called 'categorical statement' is of different kind. Such statement pretend objective technical knowledge which is not meant to be s... | |
| Thorens TD 160 or 126? Which better? Viridian, I have read those statements you made twice. Yourcategorical statement ''The Raga 300 is a completely inappropriate arm'',etc, make no sense with your 'IMHO'.I have never seen any negative comment about this tonearm ever. It was btw an g... | |
| Thorens TD 160 or 126? Which better? Hi Viridian, You can repeat your 'IMHO' as many times asyou like but it is obvious that you have very strong opinion about Rega. The question is: who cares? The Rega has already established status as the best arm for the money.Regarding the compat... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Thuchan, 'captain of the Hindenburg'? Please takesome other job.Regards, | |
| Thorens TD 160 or 126? Which better? Jeremy 72, I agree with your first statement. I also boughtthis solid aluminum adapter on ebay. uk. The other two statements are questionable. Because of the Rega construction it is easy to rewire the arm by yourself.This should be cheaper then th... | |
| Thorens TD 160 or 126? Which better? Viridian, You should add 'according to my opinion'. I useRega 300 on my Thorens 160 Super as do many others. This is about price-quality relationship. I have the Triplanar on my Kuzma Stabi Reference (my main system) but never thought about swichi... | |
| Thorens TD 160 or 126? Which better? If you need to repair the Thorens than you have the wrongone. The TD 160 mkI may be cheaper than repair cost. I agree with Jeremy reg. his qualification 'entry level hi end' for 160 mkI. But by the TD 160 Super one can live the word 'entry' out. A... | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers Dear Florianw, First of all I think that you should supstitute 'historical reason' for 'love and empathy'.In the second place I very much enjoy your story and explanation of all the models made. There are btw more examples of brilliant designers w... | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers Hi Florianw, I got this patent story from some of the 4Magazines for which I had subscription then (30 years ago?). Whatever the cause of the downfall we all regret the fact that Apogee is out of buseness. I can't remember TheGrand however. Would ... | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers Hi Ack, You are right regarding the looks: exactly likeApogee. I remember the name 'Omega' but was no sure if this name refers to one of the (speaker) models or to the producer.However there seems to be some Australian guy who produce all the ribb... | |
| When less is more...10 reasons to own Thorens Hi Jeremy 72, I deed find the 'source'. NB a countryman ofmy. But the motor in casu is the Orgine Live DC . More expensive then the whole 160 S. I am using the 160 S in an second system and think that those AC motors are ok.Regards, | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System This method is very old actually. One first produce the so called 'state of the art' with a pricetag nobody can afford and than the trickle down models which 'promisse', say, 90% of the technology implemented in the 'state..'. The money was suppos... | |
| When less is more...10 reasons to own Thorens Hi Jeremy 72, I was not able to find this dc motor for the160 Super on the site you provided. However I deed try Origine Live dc motor on my(then) Linn LP-12. If I remember well +/- 500 GBP. Well despite of all the prease in HIFI Magazines to my m... |
