Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Smoffatt,thanks for the concern....As you know I have been "down" for a LONG time,and am just beginning to get back to a workable system. Due to a "could care less dealer",and circumstances surrounding "one particular" component(that affected othe... | |
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Forgot to mention,for those wanting a nice assortment of magnifying glasses,if you are close to a Barnes and Noble bookstore..."they" have about ten different types on display.Many look to be very good,with two different magnifying strengths(on ea... | |
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Downunder,I just received my new Phantom Series II,and there "is" a set-up line for the cantilever,"and" stylus tip!...I believe all the necessary stuff is enclosed to allow for a very precise setting,of all parameters,except azimuth....

Sota Millennia Vacuum? Smoffatt,It may be hard to get owner feedback on the Millenia,because of the popularity of the Cosmos,and the lack of main stream press on the table.Audiophiles are a fickle bunch,and some need to see a review in his/her latest mag issue. I have s... | |
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Doug,it's hard for me to believe "you" of all people are going to "need" something else that will allow you to fine tune your set-up any more than it already is !! I already got the impression that you have the eye of a Bald Eagle,and the hands of... | |
Flux-Buster I used the Fluxbuster for many years and never had a problem.It definitely improved the sound! I used it during my Koetsu years,over four different models,and in the early times with my first two of the Transfiguration designs(using it very infreq... | |
Sota Millennia Vacuum? James,I know from your past posts about your problems....I'm sorry of course,because you are a fellow hobbyist. I believe you must have had a lemon,and I have had lemons in audio over the years.Just recently,a similar type of product(not a SOTA),f... | |
Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? Just to interest those who like to continue the education route,and simply from a "very good read" standpoint.... I'd suggest you(whomever)take a look at the white paper that is on the "Grand Prix Monaco" web pages. This is just hobbyspeak to me,a... | |

classic sounding 25 watt tube amp Just take a look at the new Dehavilland Model 50,a classic "new/old" mono amp,based on a fabulous Fisher design of yore.Yet,this time with all new componentry. This is a 40 watt design,but I'll bet is fabulous. Good luck | |
Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? I don't believe that there is any "musically meaningful" differences between many of the "better" tables out there!I'm talking about the host of really good ones on the market(which there are quite a few). If the product is designed and made well,... | |
Sota Millennia Vacuum? Sota products offer superb value,and are built to last a lifetime...Literally! I have owned almost all of the product line(over 25 years),and currently have the "fabulous" Cosmos IV! The Millenia should be a superb table,and the vacuum "IS" a grea... |
