| tonearm match ZYX Universe Moerch and Triplanar Tom,I'd guess most Galibier users site the table on a floor stand, especially if you have the added benefit of sitting on a concrete floor. From there, I'd say the field is open - Thom favors building a sandbox with an aluminum top plate that beds... | |
| tonearm match ZYX Universe Moerch and Triplanar Tom,I think you'll be out of the optimum weight range of the Neuance shelf if you're considering placing the Gavia on it (or the Target wall mount shelf for that matter). IIRC, the weight limit for the Neuance shelf is around 35-40 lbs - the Gavia... | |
| Rega p-5 power supply ubgrade I might add that if you have an older Rega Planar 2/3 (and I believe the 25), the Heed Orbit power supply is quite a nice upgrade as well - somewhat rare on the used market, but quite affordable new. | |
| How far would you drive to audition a component? I flew from Albany NY to Denver CO to audition the Galibier. While one can read about the product, and chat with the maker - the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. In this price category, it would be nearly analogous to buying a new car without... | |
| Tripping Breakers Hi,Does the problem occur repeatedly after you reset the breaker? Does the fuse in the amp blow? Often, any device which uses a torroidal transformer in the power supply will have a current inrush that momentarily exceeds the rating of the breaker... | |
| Best bargain find ever ? Two Scott LK-72B integrated amps - one pristine; the other a little dinged up, both with all tubes intact. All from the dumpster for free. One man's trash...-Richard | |
| Matching stepup to phono stage Doug/All,Any thoughts on best resistor type (and wattage) for loading the Bent? I've played around with various 1/8 and 1/4 watt carbon comp, metal-film, ceramic-chip types, etc, yet I tend to keep coming back to plain old 1/4 watt carbon film typ... | |
| Receiver shuts down after a message Well, it seems you've done the diagnostic work for the technician yourself - it worked fine until you hooked up the center channel. That pretty much says it all. Dropped or not, the unit worked before hooking up the center channel. As I said in my... | |
| Receiver shuts down after a message Most of this type of receiver uses an integrated 15-18 pin SIP-M output device. Usually, they are in pairs - one for the "main" speakers, and another one (plus a discreet device) for "rear" and "center" channels. My best advice is to skip the Sony... | |
| 'Table techs near Springfiled MA,Albany NY? You might want to try Accent on Music in Mt. Kisco, NY. When I had my Linn, the folks there were very helpful in providing miscellaneous parts and the such. While I never had the table set up by them, they did offer to perform a tune-up and to ins... | |
| Linn Upgrades If you check out the Naim forum or the pink fish media site, there has been great speculation (and even pictures) of the Keel, the new one-piece integrated subchassis/armboard assembley, fabricated of cast aluminum/titanium. Of course, there's als... | |
| Importance of arm length? Very important in this case:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6178659.stmHave a nice weekend.-R. | |
| Built a Flexi-type rack? John,Nice score on the brass. I figured that since the final weight of the rack was in excess of 200 lbs while fully loaded, there was no need to firmly tighten all of the weight-bearing brass cones - the sheer weight of the rack alone would provi... | |
| Where does your user name come from? you said it. | |
| Built a Flexi-type rack? The aluminum (or whatever material) jig doesn't have to be square - simply consistent - though being square certainly helps align to the corners of your workpiece. Mark the jig as to what the top outside corner should always "key" to -- in other w... |
