yet another KAB mod question
I installed the silicone damper (blue) on my Tech deck in my main rig. Also picked up that ugly-ass KAB rubber record clamp, but it works. Kevin, if you read this, you need to upgrade that syringe, it is a POS. And please put a note on the install...

I picked up another Tech deck, an SL-1210M5G, and it is installed in my main rig. Do check it out...http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vdone&1102716162&view 
yet another KAB mod question
Is anyone bothered by the fact that the fluid damper blocks the indicator for the VTA? 
Carver sonic holography
I bought a new CT-17 back in '93 for $559 and it's still in use in my secondary rig. I never turn off the Sonic Holography.The ACCD circuit works quite well also. 
Question for Technics DD users
I have a very similar setup and am very interested as well. Hopefully, someone here is running those feet and will chime in... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l256/jfanton/100_2640.jpg

I added a DB Systems DB-8 MM phono pre and I've done some A-B'ing between the NAD PP-2 and DB-8 on my garage rig. I just can't hear much of a difference between them, it's very close. Maybe a little bit better channel separation on the DB-8 and a ... 
Review: Ayre Acoustics MX-R Amplifier
What a great review and great read! I own JC-1's and wasn't offended a bit. Especially given the price differential :-) 
Obsessed with room acoustics
You used the word perfect (in one form or another) six times :-) 
Is HDCD dead?
I don't understand why some poo-poo HDCD. Who cares?CD's that are encoded (which many are not even labled as hdcd) with HDCD cost no more than standard redbook CD's. And as far as I can tell, CDP's that decode HDCD cost no more than standard playe... 
Is HDCD dead?
Jack_dotson,While I've had a CD5i and CD5x in my system, and now have a CDX2, I may have misspoke. In reading on Naims' site, it looks like HDCD doesn't start till you get into the X2.My apologie's.

Hdm, Yes, I was speaking of the Clearaudio Micro Basic. After sleeping on it, I decided to call David at DB Systems (forgot it was Easter Sunday, oops!) and order one up and get it over with. He said if I'm not having any rumble or feedback issues...

Hdm,I neglected to discuss the DB systems phono pre. I'm a bit skeptical because I can't find any threads relating to it. I read the review you referenced, but it is from 1998, which leads me to more skepticism. But you seem quite persistant about...

Well, I'm finding this all very interesting. I read every thread (here) on the Bellari VP 129, most are positive regarding this unit. But I got a little turned off when I read in one thread that the price increased substantially after M.Fremer rev...

Well, my thread referenced above was deleted for some reason. Asked Agon staff why, no reply. So I'm going to post here since this seems to be an open forum for the SL-12x0. I've installed an AT440MLa and it is much better, IMO. It is more lively ...
