| TNT6 Platter speed I always run my TNT6 with my Walker Motor Controller. When you buy the Walker, it comes with a KAB strobe included, so you can accurately/easily check the speed. The KAB is a great way to make sure speed is accurate. Yes, I agree that it should be... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 See the other thread about this preamp to read my comments on Raul's Philadelphia visit and on hearing the Essential in 3 different high end systems.http://learn.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl? eanlg&1166047312&read&keyw&zz3150 Cheers,... | |
| preamp for berning/merlin/audio aero system Bobby from Merlin uses Joule Electra in his system, and now there's a new version that he has which is supposed to be even better(LA150 Mark II). Definitely synergy there with great full-bodied portrayal of instruments and very natural tonality. B... | |
| Cartridge/RFI Guys,I've been dealing w/similar issues for over a year, being located near a large radio tower. Most of what's been said above is generally on track. Sometimes all the little nits add up to a big problem, so attack RFI in every way possible.- As ... | |
| Is Supratek Syrah still the deal of the century? Matty,My understanding is that Mick's partner, Kevin Covi (who helped design some of the Suprateks)is in the USA. Their website also states that most technicians would be able to do any likely repair work, and that Mick would provide instruction b... | |
| Looking for reviews of Zyx Airy 3 silver vs copper Doug,That will be me at the airport. Of course, we're having the coldest week of the winter, but we will be sure to keep Raul warm with my MA1 amps and Slipknot's Wolcotts! Cheers,Spencer | |
| Looking for reviews of Zyx Airy 3 silver vs copper I'm using the silver on a JMW 12.6 and it's very nice together. Haven't heard the copper version except at shows. Mehran @ Sorasound recommended the silver based on my system. Many comments you'll read are about the copper version sounding "better... | |
| Built a Flexi-type rack? Congrats, let's see some photos! Cheers,Spencer | |
| Elton John "Peachtree Road" Vinyl - Can't Find Call Elusive Disc. They'll know if anyone will. Cheers,Spencer | |
| VIZIO 47" lcd - Any good? Nah. Research the Panasonics at Costco. Hard to beat valuewise. Their return policy is unmatched if you aren't happy. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Merlin VSM or Revel Performa F52 Okay, here's a vote for Merlins. I've owned them for a few years, and they never disappoint. I've tried them w/various components and they let the attributes of each shine through. I think they'll be fine w/your gear, and you will find yourself fa... | |
| amps for Merlin VSM-MXE As Slipknot mentioned, I'm having good luck w/Atma-Spheres, & I've previously happily owned the Berning. The Joules sound great too, but were out of my price range. A used pair of MA1s for around $6k would be my first choice. If you could find... | |
| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre I agree that Kenrads are great for bottom end especially. The Tungsol round plates are overvalued according to a few tube experts I know. The RCA VT231s are another good suggestion. You can get used ones on ebay for low cost, decide what sounds be... | |
| VPI new Super Feet for Scout/Scoutmaster/Aries They are stock on my TNT6. They are very easy to level, and well constructed. I believe they are using the same balls as the Gingko, and I believe I heard somewhere that they worked with VPI on tioushe design. (Ginkgo has been selling dustcovers f... | |
| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre Have you tried rolling tubes in the Syrah. There's 1000s of posts here on others experience w/it. That would certainly worth trying first. Cheers,Spencer |
