Who can service Bedini amps?
You might try giving the Shahinian plant a call.For many years, they recommended Bedini amps to drive their unusual speakers. I believe Richard Shahinian was a friend of the Bedinis.

Shahinian Obelisk Overhaul: burn-in period?
Give me a call at 415 868-2103. I have replaced midranges and tweeters on a pair of Shahinian Hawks several times and will be happy to share my thoughts at length by phone. --Richard 
The story of Grado Labs
I don't believe that's a story.I think it's an ad. 
Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of
Here's one I'll bet few of you have ever heard of:'Water Bearer' by Sally Oldfield, Mike Oldfield's sister.Her music is folk pop with lots of bouncing tinkly guitar, piano, light percussion and synthesizer. The lyrics are typical early '70s earnes... 
Hurst motor rumble?
The rumble is masked by surface noise when a record is played. As we all know, unheard vibration can cause audible effects elsewhere.The fact of this vibration getting into the signal matters, I would think especially at higher volume.It is irrele... 
Alternative for VPI springs?
I'd be quite interested in your blister pack. If you can find them, let me know and we can work out a deal.Thanks. 
Alternative for VPI springs?
The Herbie's Tenderfeet are meant to be placed under the entire unit, not in place of the suspension springs. But it is entirely possible that they would work well in that capacity also.Thanks for the idea. 
FYI: VPI HW-19 motors
Surely there must be some appropriately sized damper which can do most or all of what the Sims dampers do. Does anyone know of an alternative?I have a 19-IV with springs and I have always wanted to try non-spring suspension. 
Classified ads for loudspeaker drivers?
In particular, I am looking for 11 centimeter midrange drivers, especially P11 and CA11 models.Isn't there a website for speaker designers with a section of classified ads? 
Cheapest good sounding dvd player?
I asked about the CHEAPEST machine with "better than minimal" sound quality.I am not seeking "the best cheap unit." I seek the cheapest "good" player.Even used, OPPO units cost a few bills. How about this: What's the best player I can get for unde...

Modern Shahinian Obelisk
MR.FRAZEUR1:Why should I not 'get you going' on Hawks and Diapasons?I, for one, would not at all object to hearing your thoughts on them.I myself have never heard Diapasons nor the new Obelisks and, though the basic designs have been unchanged ove... 
Modern Shahinian Obelisk
Is there a trend here? I, too, after 50 years of restless dissatisfaction and relentless replacement, have discovered Shahinian speakers. In my case, a 30 year old pair of Obelisks provided me with something I had been missing for all those long d...
