| HELP PLEASE - VPI Classic Signature 3D Arm or Dr. Feickert Woodpecker Jelco Arm The Garrard 301/Ortofon arm is near your price point! If the added cost or the cartridge is a factor, you could get a Zu Denon 103 and upgrade later (the Zu 103 sounds excellent, BTW!). | |
| HELP PLEASE - VPI Classic Signature 3D Arm or Dr. Feickert Woodpecker Jelco Arm The seller on this site - cryo-parts - has a really beautiful restored Garrard 301 on a custom birch/walnut plinth with a 12inch Ortofon arm. Price is $4275 + 65 shipping from Minnesota. This TT is far superior to your two choices and WILL outperf... | |
| What is your selling experience using Express Checkout ? I use PayPal. They make me wait for 3 days after delivery before releasing my funds. But transfer to my bank account is fast (and only 25 cents!). | |
| Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital: MQA HW decoding at reasonable cost -Anyone have this? Plus MQA decoding thrown in! How can you not lose! | |
| Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital: MQA HW decoding at reasonable cost -Anyone have this? For 349 Euros (about $440) this looks like a WORLD beater DAC! The Price is Right! (said on that old Game Show!). Lookout all you multi-kilobuck DAC's (Wadia, EMM, Chord ...)!!! Project does it again, offering s... | |
| Perla Audio + Focal! Is this a Class D design, since it runs so cool ? I remain skeptical of this type of operation! | |
| fixing hum on Rega Rp6 Hum is caused by a voltage-potential difference between two components. Connecting them together by a piece of wire fixes this and eliminates hum. | |
| fixing hum on Rega Rp6 Run a wire from the turntable ground to the preamp ground to eliminate hum! ALL phono systems require THIS! Do this first before wasting money on another plug-in power supply! I am sure that what Rega provides is fine - they have been in bu... | |
| What is your goto reference recording I like to use my British EMI pressing of PF's The Wall. Plenty of variety on the two LP set for some fun listening! | |
| Audioquest DC cables - why are there almost no high end DC cables? Your choices of Audio Quest wire and Oyaide plugs will work just fine! | |
| Audioquest DC cables - why are there almost no high end DC cables? A DC cable connects an external power supply (DC voltage) to the main chassis. I doubt that the quality of the wire matters much! No need to waste money on fancy cable! | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? The Gradient OB's have been available for some time! I recall they made an OB woofer for use with Quad ESL's. | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? Lest we forget (again!) Bob Carver developed and marketed (successfully!) the Carver Amazing Speaker in the mid-80's. Two versions, the Platinum (4 12inch woofers and a 60inch ribbon) and the Silver (3 12inch woofers and a 48inch ribbon). Both d... | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? Open baffle designs remained niche market products because of the inherent conservatism of the speaker companies. John Dahlquist later produced the DQ-20 and DQ-30. After he sold his company and it closed his associate Carl Marchisotta went on to... | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? Don't forget that the first open baffle speaker was the Dahlquist DQ-10. Woofer in a sealed box and 4 drivers (mid, upper-mid, treble, super-tweeter) mounted above in a horizontal array. A favorite of both Harry Pearson (TAS) and Peter Aczel (The ... |
