Quick take on the MBL 6010D Reference Preamp
Teajay and other fortunate MBL owners,it is very interesting that the "solid state" weaknesses of past components seems to be diminishing as time goes by. Yet there is still a contingency who, still, are absolutely resolute about anything solid st... 
Airtangent vs Kuzma airline
I must admit Albert,I'm aware(for quite some time)you were never wild about your A/T arm.Yet having two friends who have owned it,the opinions were not as harsh as your memory of it. They did go to rediculous lengths to source the kind of performa... 
Teres, Galibier and Redpoint
Dan,I cannot tell you how glad I am for you.I know the wonderful feeling of being able to make a buying decision for something we consider "special"! It seems those special feelings were much more common when we were all kids.Remember when you got... 
Airtangent vs Kuzma airline
Sorry you could not find the sweetspot with your A/T Tubes 108!Maybe it was the standard pump,which was a design weakness(compared to the "dentist special"),as I found out. I would venture an educated guess that the Kuzma would be every bit as goo... 
Airtangent vs Kuzma airline
Hi Tubes!My mention of my pal feeling the Air Tangent was too much maintenance was not complete.The fact is that although I had always seen ease of use,when at his home,he is in his mid seventies.He was beginning to have a hard time navigating the... 
Airtangent vs Kuzma airline
Firstly,BOY are you a lucky guy!!Great analog awaits you,for sure. I have a dear friend who owned the Air Tangent for about ten years.I am intimately familiar with it.It is a fabulous arm,and extracted more detail from an LP,with the lowest amount...

WOW!!I'm really loving this discourse,and predict this will be "THE" anolog thread of 2006!!Great stuff,and much to ponder,for me. Frank,I see NO reason you should feel like you're walking on eggshells,even if you want to help the apparently worth... 
Peak Consult Princess speakers?
I believe you would do better with the Verity Parsifals.More airy,not as dark sounding.Don't get me wrong,the Princess is a nice,overpriced speaker.Still a nice product,but the Verity,JM Labs Alto and a few others are a bit better,IMO. Best!

Andrew,Dan never made a Triplanar vs Shroeder Ref comparison,because the Shroeder Ref actually doesn't exist!! Of course that could change,should CELLO("CALLING CELLO")decide to come out of hibernation and report on what was told to me.Which was h... 
Tracking Force Gauges
Great posts,by many of you "reliable" guys!! Just to clear up some of my comments regarding the Build of the Singapore guage,which I DO own,and like enough to have given away(for free,btw)my Audio Parts guage(another nice one,too),my concern about...

Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?
Howard,very interesting post.Thank you,for it!I have a friend considering the A/Z's. Also,could you post your opinion of the Ridge Street speakers,when that occurs? Best! 
Avalon Opus Ceramique versus Kharma 3.2
I own and love my Avalon speakers(Ascent mk-2,very easy load at 6 ohms,and a sealed box design).I make it my business to try to hear the vast majority of the touted designs,to stay abreast of what is the preferred "now" products.I still see no nee... 
Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
2extreme,are you stating the Hi Fi Tuning fuses are not directional?
