| What's it worth? A search of completed Ebay sales and Hifi Shark transactions give you a range. of sold values. Factor in the limitation of created by local pick up and you should get a reasonable value established. | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @kennythekey Thanks for the response and the time you spent crafting it. I apologize in advance for my post as it will be far ranging and long winded I guess. The problem with auditioning next tier tables is that our systems and associated an... | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @tomic601 As I read your post, it looks like an argument to keep the Cosmos Eclipse and the Scheu tables, as at this point we are trading flavors more than anything. To my thinking this makes the argument of upgrading the arm on the SOTA, and the... | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @mulveling Had a chat with Donna this morning. Arm length that is possible is typically 9 to 9.5 inches. They say they have done one 10" arm, a Jelco of some sort. Also states that the arm needs to be no more than two pounds and a couple of ounces... | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @pindac Well essentially that points to standing where I am as both tables in my possession are quite respectable. In a way that is how I got to this point. When buying the SOTA Cosmos I bought an earlier generation Star Sapphire to determine if ... | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @allenf1963 I am afraid disappointment is going to be a constant companion in your future... | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @allenf1963 I love me some Dio era Sabbath. Heaven and Hell is one of my all time favorite songs. Very underappreciated piece that one is. Except by us old geezer(yeah I said it) metal heads that remember those times. | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @kingsleuy I had one of those with a MA505 arm in the early 2000s. It was an underwhelming table, had no love for it. Wish I had it back though...so I could sell it again for more money. | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @mulveling Essentially this makes the argument of standing pat with the tables and putting a better arm on the SOTA. That certainly is a viable option. I recently acquired the Schroder CB-1L in January of this year, and I will say the quali... | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @pindac Previous to these tables I owned a SP 10 MK II in a constrained layer plinth, Denon PP75 in VPI plinth, and a Brinkman Bardo. Of the three I preferred the Denon. Prior to that I also owned a TD124 and a 401. Now every table stands ... | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges I appreciate the responses, as having a group to exchange ideas with is a great resource to work through these kinds of questions. Having a larger body of experience to draw from in invaluable. The core question is really this. Does next tier of ... | |
| Anyone Know The History Of XStatic? Supposedly the pair I was looking at has fresh diaphrams and stator refurbished. Power supply sounds to be unchanged. Selling price is close to what they were new. Not sure I would make an investment in a speaker with limited future appeal if a pe... | |
| Anyone Know The History Of XStatic? No they are a full sized electrostatic speaker with a curved diaphram. | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? So the cabling showed up for the phono stage. I bought balanced Wireworld Silver Eclipse 8 interconnects and also grabbed a couple of pairs of Wireworld Micro Eclipse 8 tone arm wiring with XLR terminations with straight and SME style DIN plugs. T... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm I did spend some time trying to see if it could be bought from a seller in Japan. So far no luck in finding a web presence for one who has it listed. |
