| Blue Note reissues as an investment? Probably but I would never buy records as an investment instrument. Many more reliable ways to make money. | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions I'm finally out of that stage. As long as it sounds good I don't worry about it. I'm not one to use a 6 step, 15 minute process to clean a record either. It's simply not worth it to me. Ken's is the easiest protractor I've ever used. The MintLp ce... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Dan ed, I'm not challenging your opinion. I just want to know. I prefer Ken's to the Feikert. Both of which I bought. If the MintLp is actually, not just theoretically, better I will have to buy one. Most importantly, is there a difference in soun... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Dan ed, have you compared the Ken Willis to the MintLp to KNOW there is a difference? If you have I will have to consider buying a MintLp protractor. If not, Ken's protractor is a bargain at $55 | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions I've owned the Feickert and and Ken Willis' arc protractor.I sold the Feickert. | |
| What is the difference in a 2 eye and 6 eye record 6 eye is an earlier pressing and, usually, superior. The last were pressed in 1962 when the change to 2 eye was made. Original 2 eye pressings tend to be excellent. If you have the choice of a 6 eye or a 2 eye of the same title go for the 6 eye. | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions It's good. It does not come with a strobe light. I suggest you contact Ken Willis in the Vinyl section of Audioasylym.com and check out his protractors. They are the simplest I have ever used. Good luck. | |
| California Audio Labs Icon Mk II; NOT POWERBOSS Good player but very long in the tooth and CAL Audio Labs has been out of business for years. I would not buy it. | |
| Wilson sophia typically found with solid state Not at all. The Sophia sounds wonderful with tubes. VTL, for one, is an excellent match. | |
| Replace Magnavox CDB 650 with Ayre CX-7e ? Most dealers will allow a loan of their demo as long as you leave a credit card to cover it. Best to listen in your system. Ayre is a good company that makes outstanding products. Only you can decide if it is the right upgrade. | |
| Does a Postal Money order need to "clear"? They are counterfeited so I can see a seller might want to wait. They can go to their local post office and verify that it is genuine and not stolen. | |
| Eichmann Bayonet plugs user experience I've used Eichmann RCAs for awhile and they do have a reliability problem. I've had at least two cables that had to be reterminated by the manufacturer. I've never used the speaker connectors. I quit buying cables terminated with Eichman plugs. | |
| Vandersteen 2 Grill Cloth Housing I agree with the others. Vandersteen has a special gig for installing the grill cloth and end caps. It can be done manually but it is not easy and difficult to reinstall perfectly. If they were mine I wouldn't do it. | |
| Alignment Snafu? Or? Try the Stevenson geometry. It may give you more flexibility with alignment. I have VPI HW-19 and Audioquest arm and find it difficult to optimize setup with Baerwald. I haven't tried Lofgren. | |
| Alignment Snafu? Or? My documentation shows a spindle to pivot distance for the Audioquest arm of 210mm. |
