| Mapleshade brass tubedampers Dopogue,you can make your own brass tube anchors, if you want, for more than it'll cost you to buy them, but they're still better that O rings. I've compared them. I'm as interested in cheap elegant answers as much as the next guy but it doesn't a... | |
| funk firm t'tables? They're distributed by Two Channel Distribution aka Acoustic Sounds. | |
| Mapleshade brass tubedampers O rings are certainly a cheap fix, grounded lead sheet is better and also cheap, but the massive brass ones are in a different league. | |
| funk firm t'tables? Bear in mind that the current version of the Rega P3, the P3-24, is different, and more expensive, than the one reviewed in the above linked article. | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? There's actually two Solistas, the MkII at $16.9k and the Lt at $7800.Another that comes to mind is the affordable Pathos Classic One MkIII. | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Just heard the 845 based Solista from VivA... absolutely stunning. Definitely high end, and high priced, but worth it, if you've got it. | |
| Rega spindle too short The benfeit of the recess is the same regardless of the platter material. Snug record/platter mating is a very basic no brainer. It is a major factor in just about every aspect of the sound. Consequently, IMHO, clamping is major. I was just at Mus... | |
| Rega spindle too short .010 - .020" oughta do it. If forgoing the felt reveals enough of the spindle to use a clamp, you'll want to use a spacer of about 1 1/4" in diameter that fits over the spindle and protrudes above the level of the platter another .010" or so, depe... | |
| Rega spindle too short "They would have to raise the price..."yup. | |
| Rega spindle too short You could try making your own mat out of something you could cut out a relief for the label. I wonder how difficult it would be to take the platter to a machinist to turn a relief in it. Bad design choice on the part of the Iron Audio. | |
| Rega spindle too short It isn't a problem unless you want to use a clamp in which case there's not enough spindle to grab onto. The Regas are challenged that way anyway which probably suits Rega's Roy Gandy just fine. He enjoys scoffing at anything he can manage to writ... | |
| Mapleshade brass tubedampers Thanks, Bob. It's very kind of you. At this point at least, I don't typically get sales from Audiogon. Like most of us here, I contribute out of passion, which is also why I, and most dealers, got into this business. I simply share my pursuit of g... | |
| Mapleshade brass tubedampers Usblues,I have no intention of hiding that I'm a dealer. I just feel my experience is just as valid and actually no more biased than anyone else here. I post here to share my experience and learn what I can. I call em like I see em and have plenty... | |
| Mapleshade brass tubedampers Yes, as you know. I'm getting a bit sloppy about including the "requisite" disclaimer. IMHO, despite popular opinion, that fact doesn't necessarily make me any different than anyone else here. | |
| Mapleshade & Monarchy ........? Aye aye sir, despite the fact that Mapleshade doesn't offer a very good margin to dealers in their lower end Clearview line. Just reporting my experience. I believe in quality and truthfullnes and I can't sell something when I know well there's so... |
