| The future of LAMM without Vlad If you follow Lamm on Instagram it's funny to watch the deceased's relatively attractive daughter(?) promote the brand while the employees grudgingly soldier on. I have no particular insight other than my lived experiences, but it's possible t... | |
| Jim Campbell (the turntable restorer) camj3941@gmail.com was the winner. Some or all of the other published emails don't work. Thank you everyone. | |
| Eurozone sickness and 230v single phase vs 240v two-phase. Hi @holmz. I don't know if you mean brands for the transformer (in which case, no, but I await an answer from ACUPWR) or for the amplifier (in which case, Audionet). | |
| Vladimir Lamm RIP I have never heard Lamm equipment but whenever I see a photo I want it. Immigrated in the eighties, manufactured in Brooklyn, impeccable asethetics, people say it sounds great. I bet he was a pretty awesome dude. | |
| What sounds like a Krell KCT, but better? Heh. My amp is good, and I can get by with my current phono stage. Still love my wife, despite her poor taste in preamp aesthetics. I just need a linestage preamp. A preamp that includes a good MC phono stage is better. That's all I need. 3K-10K. | |
| Is this amount of record/tonearm bobbing "normal" Thanks for the feedback. In this case there is a lower platter, an upper platter, a mat, and the record. The lower platter is about 48 hundredths "tall" and you can see it in this video: https://youtu.be/0Tq1hydi-DI The runout (probably the w... | |
| Ball stops for underfloor speaker cables They are coming through the floor. I'll chat with the wife about some electric fence if she shoots down the bear trap proposal. And I suppose I'm using suspenders. The stapled-up velcro strap variety. | |
| How much gear do you own? I have only one of everything that I need, but after buying a mostly-clean TD-124 I haven’t been able to stop thinking about buying another, in rougher shape, to restore. I have three kids and an 80-hour per week job. I need a project like I need... | |
| Porsche 1. Everyone bickering, meanwhile a GT2 owner is among us. True enthusiasts would be peppering clearthinker with questions about how awesome it would be to have a GT2.2. As you probably know, a car is not classically a great environment for fidelit... | |
| Apple TV Set Up I would bet )I'm not sure) that an ordinary college computer science major could write you a script for $30 that would probably fix problem 1 and maybe fix problem 2 (via brute force). | |
| Get a load of this Deceptive add for a Gryphon Amp here on AG I’m new here, so grain of salt, but I do have a semblance of a brain and I frequently participate in buying and selling things online. IMO it’s clearly mildly deceptive that none of this is disclosed in the ad-- these are clearly details that any ... | |
| Before I order the Magnepan 1.7s... Thanks everyone for the suggestions. There are some good ones there to consider.The Maggies (if I go that route) will be tucked away when not in use and pulled out for listening. The Jadis speakers I have seen but ultimately I decided that I wasn'... | |
| Before I order the Magnepan 1.7s... @jasonbourne52 The SFs look too "modern." too "delicate." Our home is a 1936 modern monolith. It's hard to decorate. Thank you for your suggestion, the DeVores are generally pretty cool and *maybe* the Auditorium 23 Hommage 755 would fit here. I... | |
| RCA (phono) cables for on-site termination Last I appreciate the thoroughness of your answer-- those of us who grew up in Appalachia learned that we could make a "continuity tester" with a flashlight bulb, a 9v battery, and a few alligator clips. | |
