| Hagerman Trumpet MC review After a few questions for Jim I ordered a Trumpet MC this weekend. But it will not fit in the available shelf in my Target rack so out shopping this week for a small stand to place the unit on. Regarding the dampers, I got some silicone O-rings ... | |
| Need Info Re. Duntech Home Cinema System 100 @lifeislarge, this may no longer matter too much but I don't believe it is fair to attribute legacy of your speakers to John Dunlavy. As I mentioned previously he departed Australia to return to the US prior to the time your speakers were produce... | |
| High Performance Moving Iron Cartridge Candidates? Search for the post by Raul. That was several years ago but received hundreds of comments. Probably every common brand was discussed. | |
| Durable record vacuum cleaner recommendation? Another + for VPI. I bought a 16.5 in the mid 1980s and used it for 20 years. Then a friend included a nearly new version along with other LP gear when he quit playing records due to age. I sold my original to a friend and continued cleaning wit... | |
| Seeking a Tube preamplifier First question, a preamplifier or line stage? If no vinyl inputs then I'm guessing a line stage is all you need. I've gone through a fair list of both preamps and line stages and settled on a Sachs Model 2. But Don no longer builds those so now... | |
| 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... |
