| Buying Music Likes Its The Early 90's I completely agree. While I browse the used record bins, I’m disgusted by the prices (particularly given the condition). Drop a used CD in a new jewel case (maybe after a quick polish) and it’s logos as new for (usually) not much more than $2. | |
| Favorite punk song. Too many to name, so I’ll add Stiff Little Fingers “Suspect Device” to the list. | |
| GR Research NX-Otica and Servo OB Subs Check out his Line Force offering. It’s really impressive. | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? Ralph / Al, Your posts are reasons why I still visit these these forums. Thank you. | |
| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius Roy will be missed. He was working on a ribbon tweeter upgrade for the Eos RX along with his next floor standing model. I loved his updates. I think his approach to cabinet design is unparalleled. It makes me sad to know he’s not out there thinkin... | |
| Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As Are you sure you got the “great deal” you thought you did? Are you sure all the drivers (and the crossovers) are working as expected? | |
| Integrated with passive preamp section. Good or bad idea, or both ? The Ayre AX-7e integrated is a solid-state power amp mated with passive gain control and source selection. Love mine. | |
| DYI upgrading B&W N805 to Diamond 805? You may also want to consider having someone upgrade the crossover parts for you (someone with experience, measurement equipment, and reputation). Call Danny Richie @ gr-research.com. Yes, you could DIY it, and yes, you'd have to pay for shipping.... | |

| Replacing Maxon motor in a Teres Verus Well...to bring this to closure...my motor is going bad. Chris flushed out the bearings with fluorocarbon and gave it a good re-lube. He was able to reduce the noise quite a bit, but the motor was still too noisy. So, the motor is getting replaced... | |
| Need a new CD player Ayre CX-7e mp. You can probably find one for half your budget. They are still supported by Ayre. After 12 years of high usage they just replaced the transport in mine for about $350. In my book, it’s an easy choice. | |
| Replacing Maxon motor in a Teres Verus Chris says the bearings may just need cleaning and lube, but will let me know if the motor actually needs to be replaced. I’m going to ship it back to him for a once-over. I’ll report back if he finds anything more serious / interesting. | |
| Replacing Maxon motor in a Teres Verus It’s started to make a clicking / grinding noise. I pulled the motor out of the housing, and confirmed it is the motor. Just want to confirm there’s nothing special / custom about the motor. BTW, I’ve marveled at your table for years. I have a sol... | |
| Replacing Maxon motor in a Teres Verus I reached out to Chris, but thought I’d take it out to the hive mind. Part number looks the same, but “simple” part swaps like this never end up as simple as it seems. | |
| Himalayan SALT Lamp LOL...Just making sure you knew the definition. |
