| Best vintage Marantz receivers? I bought a Marantz 27 new in fall of 1970 and it was a Superscope product. Don't know when they bought out Marantz brand but someone made design decisions that greatly downgraded the product. Very disappointing performance but I believe most if no... | |
| Excellent turntables with threaded spindles ? Add the Kuzma Stabi to those tables with threaded clamps.Edle, if your theory of vibration transmission with threaded clamps is true (and it may be per Dougdeacon's observation), why would it not also apply to clamps which grip the spindle in some... | |

| Exotic turntables. Eye candy Albert and Genesis:I have a couple of questions regarding SP-10 plinths. I have been doing research prior to building a plinth for my SP-10 Mk2A.My first question is why would a SP-10 need a dense and heavy (massive) wooden plinth? So far as I kno... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Audiofeil, the Edsel failed because of lack of market acceptance, the Corvair failed because of management ineptness. Anyway, your analogy for the Essential is pretty silly.Have you seen or heard the Essential 3150? I have and while I believe Raul... | |
| Parasound Halo - SimAudio Aurora or Bryston No direct experience with either Sim or Bryston but I will say that after trying at least a dozen different amps (tube and ss) with my Duntech Princess (Dynaudio tweeter and woofers) I bought JC-1s a year ago and my search has ended. They offer de... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Kdtran, having heard the Essential 3150 in two other systems plus my own, I will say that during these auditions, issues of tube VS ss never entered my mind. Instead, I marveled at the open and uncolored presentation of the (recorded) musical even... | |
| The passing of Marianne Barber of Joule Electra I met and became friends with Jud nearly 20 years ago. Not long after that I met Marianne and was welcomed into their home. Through the years, I was fortunate to see her many times, either in North Augusta or Las Vegas (CES). Marianne was one of t... | |

| Zenith alignment with Dennesen Soundtractor Yes, I own a Dennesen and it is calculated from Baerwald's formula. | |
| What phono preamps are balanced Are you concerned with balanced input from your cartridge or just balanced output? I would be surprised if many mentioned offer balanced input. However, FM Acoustics, Atma-sphere, and Boulder come to mind, and there must be others. | |
| Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa Tweeter upgrades?Jadem6, not sure how much this answers your question but I spoke with Alan Hulsebus of Orca Design concerning Dynaudio tweeters, such as I have in my Duntech Princess speakers. He believes the D-28 and D-28-2 sound identical. As f... | |
| Boulder 500AE? One caution. Believe input impedance is 10K. Several years ago I had two pair of 500AEs which never sounded right. Only after selling them did I figure out my tube preamp demanded a higher load. Wish I could hear them again driven properly. | |
| Isolating the listening chair? You guys are all nuts! Why spend all that hard earned $ on Myrtle wood and US Gvm'nt Surplus bungie cord? A quick trip to the garage located a bicycle tire pump and a basketball inflation valve. Screw the valve onto the end of the pump hose, wet t... |
