2008 RMAF – – – all things analog.
Dan,why the angst? Be happy!! You've got some great "working" equip,and warm weather to look forward to. Maybe your friend Doug,will bring you back a nice Lamm T-shirt.It should look nice in the sun. My close friend is going for the second straigh... 
Exchange Rate Positively Affecting Caliburn Price?
Downunder,with regards to your "amazement" regarding my still being "down"....Some day I'll spill the whole story to you,off-line.It's amazing I have any enthusiasm,still. Just kidding about the vino,but do love the stuff.Yes,the 16 dollar stuff(i... 
Exchange Rate Positively Affecting Caliburn Price?
Downunder,NOT to worry!!! If I don't get my pre/phonostage back soon(it's been promised to me,over the last month,like three times)I might just send you my "new" Phantom Series II arm-tube,for free! Unless your "dealer friend" thinks it might not ... 
Anti-skate
Hmm,is there any wonder why a good LTT arm sounds so good? Anti-skate issues? Nope! Inner groove distortions? Nope! Mnay folks going to the lengths to have/experience this kind of music presentation(yeah,it "presents" music a good deal differently... 
Anti-skate
Darn Larryi,your a pretty smart guy!! -:) 
Has anyone heard the Kuzma 4 Point arm?
Downunder makes a good point,but the fact is the 4 Point is a very unique design.I can understand a reviewer explaining his admiration without going down a list of "this does that better". Also,with the reputation Kuzma has garnished,it is not a b... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Here's something I like about what I'm able to take away from a thread like this(and of course thanks Raul,for such passion)....It's NOT only about MM cartridges...there's more. First off,NO,I am not personally going to change any current componen... 
Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads?
Funny you mention the CJ 275,because my dear friend has just gotten that amp.He has all CJ ART components,and a fully loaded VPI table/arm/Lyra Titan-i cartridge,but the speaker is different from those mentioned here. Thsy are highly modded Infini... 
what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter
Ihave been looking into the super tweet subject for awhile.I have no reason to add a pair,from any lack of audible performance,and my speaker is ruler flat to 25khz. Yet,I heard the Townshends on a pair of Sonus Extrems,and NO person can tell me i... 
Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik
Well,I must admit these October 4th posts are really interesting!! Albert....this is "really" funny,because I had the sneaky suspicion it "was" your set-up Raul spoke of.No apparent reason,other than the geography. Thomas....I'm kina liking your ... 
Furutech / Air Tight LP Flattener - do they work?
I'm not so sure a "severely" dished or warped LP can be played effectively on "any" vacuum table!Especially when there is a wide chasm of vinyl thicknesses to be factored in,and some Lp's just have more pliability than others.Some are just NOT goi... 
Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik
Raul,you don't owe an apology to anyone,IMO! You simply stated an observation,from what you heard.My only question(slight doubt) was I did not get the impression the particular set-up was "very" familiar to you.At least I don't think you mentioned... 
Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik
Raul,I think you might come under fire at some point,regarding the PC-1 comments.... I myself have never heard the design,but there has been way too much good "word of mouth"(including some of my own friends)and excellent "press"(not always reliab... 
Has anyone heard the Kuzma 4 Point arm?
Thanks Thomas! I admit I was expecting you to chime in,with good information(btw,I gave Sid your message). I had hoped this thread would have had more "legs",because not often does a new and fully developed arm hit the streets.Especially with "thi...
