While listening to my system my Rhea blew up
Sorry Rick!This type of experience we all go through,from time to time.It sucks,but if we have good representation,the problem usually has a happy ending. Best. 
What do you want from the hobby?
Sorry!It can be found in "Industry Features"!! 
Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality?
Well,on the mass over pivot subject(which IS very interesting,btw)take a look at the Caliburn Copperhead white pages,on this subject. They feel(which is a very good point)that low mass over the pivot allows for a far better ability of an arm to na... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Fcrowder,I realize that my comments "must" be taken with a grain of salt,but "this" set-up at Sid Marks' home has gone far beyond anything I have heard!And I have heard alot!Over a span of 40 years in the hobby.I've heard Sid's stuff for the last ... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Hey Rick,how are you? Actually Sid made some significant changes that NOW vault the system to a rediculous level!It truly has to be experienced to believe me! Best. 
Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality?
Isanchez...superb post.I'll re-read those reviews to refresh my memory,having read the TNT review awhile ago.Fun to revisit quality products like this arm. BTW,I had a friend who ran a Koetsu Onyx on an early version 507,and he had little to compl... 
Clement Perry's new reference speaker
Greg,a fine review as usual!!....Having had the pleasure of being at your home(once)I can certainly understand why "these" speakers are such a good match. One thing that "sometimes" gets lost,is we "must" view a home listening experience as "the r... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Yes,I heard the HQD at Lyric,and at a lucky friend's home,back then!Superb,BUT.... Though some may question my taste,or opinion,this weekend I had the GREAT pleasure of hearing a "highly modded" and tuned to the "N'th" degree set up which consiste... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Raul,one other point.....Please re-read the "last" line,in your original "Post"!! You ask us to let you know "what we think"! I,and some others have done that,and you STILL adhere to your "own" specific agenda(nothing wrong with that,btw).Yet,you ... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Raul,you did not do your homework -:) Since I assume you are still trying to convince "me" about the "why" I should add a second sub in my own set-up.... Well G.Morris "is" someone I like,and trust.....BUT....he has a completely different speaker/... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Raul,I am happy for G.Morris. Best. 
Sonus Extrema: Amplifier and room size
With all due respect,the Extrema configuration I heard(with Townshend ribbon tweeters)was at the very least "close to today's better" competing designs.It is also built better than most,and looks like a beautiful piece of art. I heard it with two ... 
Sonus Extrema: Amplifier and room size
I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I was when I last heard these "CLASSIC" speakers.The amp,I believe was a powerful Modjeski tube unit....BUT.....the speaker DRAMATICALLY improved with the use of the Townshend Super Tweeters!!!I was bowled ... 
Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality?
How about MDC-800,Raul?I had my Onyx on that classic. 
Anyone experienced with Rolf Kelch Ref table?
James,"that" was the Thorens REF,not the R.K.R.I began to get curious from that point onward.Yes,the Lamm folks demo with a beauty. Phaser,unfortunately I am only "kicking tires",just want to see if anything shakes out of my thread.If not I'll fil...
