| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement @jayctoy I spent 3 days at AXPONA in both 2023 and 2024. At both shows, I really enjoyed the sound at the Joseph Audio/Doshi room. They were alternating between the wonderful sounding J. Sikora turntable and streaming. Those were the first ti... | |
| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement @jsalerno277 very good point, much appreciated. @ghdprentice @mazian You both might be right... that I should consider streaming. I have to admit, I am very much old school. Hence my vinyl rig that I love so much. I don't have the first clue... | |
| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement The players I am considering are very high-end products utilizing Esoteric VSOP drive mechanisms which are no longer being sold outside of Esoteric players. If I were able to purchase a replacement, the manufacturer will be willing to install it,... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @dwest1023 I'm excited for you and the improved sound that you are experiencing with these new tubes! I hope they give you many, many hours of great listening enjoyment :) Best wishes, Don | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @dwest1023 What tube type did you buy? From where did you buy them? Please let us know how the tubes longevity is? Best wishes, Don | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @alightronics Thank you for your correspondence with me via this forum and giving me assurance that I will at least receive a refund, one way or another. I will be shipping these tubes back this morning, using the return shipping label that was ... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread Looking at my PayPal invoice it says... Merchant ALIPAY US, INC. I have to admit, this is all very confusing to me. When I had ordered the tubes, I don't believe that I had seen them available on Amazon at that time. However, I do see that t... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @alightronics Hello, I had thought that AliExpress was the store that I had purchase the tubes from. Looking at the box they were shipped in, I see a very small label that says the following... Shenzhen Dingwan Electronics Co. 405 Building A N... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @alightronics When you say... "This issue might be caused by internal component loosening during long-distance shipping and multiple handlings." I find that to be a very plausible explanation of what may have happened to the tube in question. I... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread Just to add to the post above. The noise the 845 makes in the right channel upon turning on the amplifier is kinda of like.... Phfffiiisssst... it only lasts for about 3-5 seconds and then goes away for the rest of the listening session. It only... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @alightronics So, I did purchase a matched pair of the Psavne Acme 845's from AliExpress. I must say they do sound very nice. However, periodically the 845 in the right channel will make a disturbing noise for a few seconds right at the time I... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @alightronics I was wondering if you could help me understand a couple of points? 1. I'm curious what you relationship is with AliExpress? 2. For the 845 Acme matched pairs... are they all matched at 90mA? Or what do you mean when you say they... | |
| Kuzma Stabi R vs Dr. Feickert Woodpecker 2 vs TD 124DD Sweet! Awesome choice! Wishing you many years of listening enjoyment with an amazing analog system! Best wishes, Don | |
| Kuzma Stabi R vs Dr. Feickert Woodpecker 2 vs TD 124DD @rsf507 I agree with you 100%. At AXPONA last year, I was able to hear both the Feickert and the Stabi R. Obviously, they were in different rooms with different electronics. With that being said, I found the experience with the Feickert room to... | |
| Kuzma Stabi R vs Dr. Feickert Woodpecker 2 vs TD 124DD @rdk777 Thank you for your reply! Yes, the J Sikora is quite expensive, but is what I would consider my ultimate last turntable ever. Nevertheless, the Stabi R Wood is a very nice table as well and I think it could keep me very happy for the l... |
