| Source of Fremer's "1 arc second" claim? @antinn, and peace to you. My mention of MF was not a disagreement with your comments, only an acknowledgment of his tireless vinyl promotion. I began listening to 45s, then LPs, long before digital, and I never gave up on them. But I don't hav... | |
| Source of Fremer's "1 arc second" claim? @antinn, thanks for clarifying. I misunderstood your comment "OMA of which MF owns". I also consider MF to be a boon to the vinyl revival, not a bad dude. @richardkrebs, you talk about "we" in regards to the OMA K3 turntable. So are you a consul... | |
| Source of Fremer's "1 arc second" claim? @antinn, for years I've read about Oswalds Mill Audio and Jonathan Weiss. I've never seen MF associated with them in any capacity. But that does not mean he was/is not. So I'm curious, where you found that connection? | |
| Hagerman Trumpet MC review @oceaniac, thanks for your review. I too am a bit late in finding it. It was particularly interesting since I've listened to a JLTi for several years myself. Mine is I believe version 2, the last before moving to Austria. However while they ma... | |
| To refurbish Peter Gunn modded Maggie's or not? Sorry to learn PG's site is down. I saved a link to it but of course that is worthless now. Seems like I opened it about a month ago. Anyway, since your mylar is split then possibly worth trying one of the repairs on that first. If not success... | |
| To refurbish Peter Gunn modded Maggie's or not? @andrew-benn, assuming you've been pleased with your Gunned 1.6s I'd suggest you have two options. But that $1.7 to 2.6K repair from Magnepan is not one of them. First, you say "what seems to be splits in the mylar". That is not definitive but ... | |
| Tubes and less sensitive speakers Many years ago when they were current products, William Z Johnson came to our local dealer to demo his new model Maggie Tympani. He was using ARC tube electronics, including large amplifiers. That system sounded absolutely wonderful and with a w... | |
| 300 Watt Tube Monoblocks I had VTL 300 monos with KT-90 outputs for some years driving Duntech Princess speakers. A very enjoyable system. No information on recent offerings. | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers Initial set up very positive. My sister stopped by so I played one of her favorite Tom Petty albums (not my usual choice). She said, "It's so clear, I hear all the details. It sounds like they are right here in the room." Now I'm breaking in w... | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) For anyone with an older "primitive" arm such as lewm just described, here’s a trick I read years ago for adjusting VTA. If there is space, use a deck of playing cards to secure the height of the arm before releasing the grub screw. Then add or r... | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers @roxy54, I may owe you a vote of thanks. I just placed an order for a pair of Source Point 888s. Because of my age I wanted to simplify and downsize my system. I've not heard the MF Source Point models but have heard previous Andrew Jones' desi... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please lewm, JP may substantiate this but I believe his chip replacement is for the SP-10 Mk 3 and the SP-15. It is not a replacement for any of the SP-10 Mk 2 series. | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) @lewm, I speak from some experience since I own a 505. However it was used when I got it and the stub was not in the same plane as the arm tube. After some investigation I found MS designed it to be in a single plane, so I had mine repaired as n... | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? Like an oil change in the car, every 5,000 miles. ;^) Sorry @inna, don't mean to make light of your question. But it seems as long as one is satisfied with the performance and nothing breaks or wares out, why replace? | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) A caution for anyone considering the MS 505. I've mentioned this elsewhere but repeat it here. I agree with Elliot that it is a very good arm. However many used examples have damage to the stub where the counterweight is mounted. This is easy ... |
