Where Can I go From an LP-12/Ittok LV II/Lingo Geor, the Akito II seems to be a highly overpriced arm. I got the II version right when it came out in Europe for around $350 on a Linn Basik. Now the Akito II is closer to $1000. Furthermore, while the Akito and Ekos did replace the Ittok, many u... | |
Michell motor is noisy:what to do? Wes, thanks for the update. Good luck with the repair or exchange of the motor.Rene | |
Voltage Adaptation - Help an Unknowledgeable Buyer One thing worth checking with the manufacturer, would be whether the unit could be converted (by a switch inside or in the worst case a little soldering) to 120 Volts. Something else you might want to consider is that in the future it will be more... | |
Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... Mechans: Which version of the Prima are we talking about here? From your description (6922 tubes) it seems like your (dead) player was the older MK I version. The newer version uses tiny super tubes, which are soldered in. As far as I know transpo... | |
Cable selection for SET. I doubt if there are cables that are specific to SETsGoing through the arxives on Agon and Asylum, you will see many people preferring smaller AWG solid core wires with SET/high efficiency setup: Audience, Speltz, 47 LAbs OTA, even some recommend ... | |
do you remember My first time in a "high-end" store in 1992: I walked right into a demontration of the "new" Mission/Cyrus system by a Mission representative. Listening to "way down deep' truly got me floored and eventually got me into high-end. A year later I at... | |
Back into the Analog world TLH, congratulation to getting back into analog. Didn't you have a Tecnodec and a Gyro before? I remotely remember discussing the Tecno in the past...How do like the Micro compared to your previous tables? I am still having my Tecnodec, but I am i... | |
Cable selection for SET. Myron, if someone local is selling the Anticables I would give them a try. In my system the 12ft "Anti-Gimick" ($120) replaced a pair of 12ft Audience Au24 ($900 used). The Audience are excellent as well and have a slight edge in detail, however i... | |
Michell motor is noisy:what to do? Classic95, did you have a look at the motor pulley before sending it in? The lisping sound from the misaligned pulley was an easy fix on my Tecnodec, which has the same DC motor as the Gyro. In fact another user of the Tecno wrote to me with exacl... | |
Cable selection for SET. A good cable to start with are the Speltz Anticables ($80 for 8ft pair). Better than any Kimber, Nordost, etc. I tried in my system. Alternatively the Audience Au24 are excellent cables, but the Anti-cables are very close at a fraction of the cost... | |
Intel Mac Mini Too bad they are using the combined digital/analog minijack, which restricts the use of interconnects to Monster cable and the use of DACs with optical inputs. On the positive side it sports an optical digital input as well!Other than that the Min... | |
Michell motor is noisy:what to do? I had a similar problem on my Michell Tecnodec, as the little pulley was slightly touching the motor housing, which can happen when the pulley becomes slightly loose. If it is the same problem in your case, it can be fixed within seconds using a s... | |
Help Viridian will a Denon 103 work in a Rega arm I used a Denon DL103 on a P3/RB300 with great success. The Denon/P3 is a great combination, with a wonderfully direct and lively sound. That combination was legendary in Europe 15 years ago, long before the DL103 become popular in the US again. I ... | |
Request to hear Zu speakers Trelja, can I join in the listening session? I guess I would have to come down from Toronto to NY or Philly...which is a bit exceeding a 2 hour radius for me.I listened to the Zu Druids at a Zu dealer driven by RA Opus, Melody Pre, Cary 300B monos... | |
Sharing speakers? The HT pass-thru is not really necessary (some repeatable volume setting would do), but pre-outs on the receiver would be necessary. I used a cheap Sherwood receiver (6090R), which is one of the few cheaper ones that has pre-outs.Otherwise your on... |
