| Replacement motor for Oracle Delphi turntable Go to USAM & look for dealers on the right side. You can contact hyendaudio. He can very likely help you especially if you still have the original delphi motor. | |
| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius Very sad to hear this news. I know he had been struggling, but he seemed to have stabilized, and I had not spoken to him in some time. I still have "Happy Ears" with hIs GMA Continuum 2 speakers with the latest HX crossover.

When I returned home he called and had put it on his test equipment and told me it was better than spec. I told him it was mostly a mechani... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue Lets call your phenonomen "acoustic breakthrough" instead of feedback. You also have a rumble problem. This is not unusual with less expensive lightweight turntables.See if the problem is worse with your speakers closer to the TT and less so when ... | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? The system I use and can therefore recommend is Focal Elears and Schiit Jotunheim. | |
| Help - I've Got the Dreaded Transformer Growl.... I'll submit a 3rd choice. If it has a toroidial transformer, see if you can find a technician to reorient the transformer to a minimum noise position. | |
