Boy,are we fanatical geeks,or what??!No wonder my wife or kids have absolutely no interest in this stuff!! That just leaves "little old me" to lose myself in my pathetic dedicated room,and "bathe" in the plethora of varied music,that I've picked u... 
Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
Larry,Hi Fi News and Record Review! Also,if your CD sound was equal to your analog,before the Orpheus,than maybe I do not have egg dripping down my face -:)The Temper-V should have "smoked" a digital system(regardless of vintage,and I have a good ... 
Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
Actually,next week I'm going to my "same pre/phonostage" friend,who has just bought the fuses.He has almost the exact componentry that I do.Except my system is better voiced,and sounds better -:)(a joke,in case he sees this). He agreed that we wou... 
Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
Larry,I may have some "egg dripping down my face",as of this morning!!To be specific,I was awaiting my wife and daughter,who were shopping.I was in a bookstore,waiting for them when I began to read some of the British audio mags. Well,it appears t...

Dan,remember to use the "light side of the force",once you start to audition!!The "dark side" may try to influence you,but you MUST remember you will have a captive audience upon return.The responsibility to post something with real "meat" must be... 
Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
Geoffkait,it's not the money,but the pain in the tush,of actually fotzing around with my stuff,for the ten thousandth time.LITERALLY!! Best! 
Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
I have found this subject quite interesting.With good arguments on both sides.I have a highly modded,and rebuilt Audio Research pre/phonostage,so decided to actually call the technical folks,at Audio Research,for their thoughts.BTW-I do hear diffe... 
Does Verity Parsifals mate well with solid?
I have a dear friend who is probably going to replace his Kharma 1.0's with a pair of Parsifal Ovations.He has a fairly small room,and is "slowly" realizing that the Kharmas are not a good match for that acoustic space.Especially since he listens ... 
Jan Allaerts Cartridge Experience?
BTW,Thomas--I owe you an apology!I read your post too quickly.You were not contradictory.Sorry!! 
Jan Allaerts Cartridge Experience?
Thomas,you seem to be contradicting yourself in some comments.First you claim there is not that many good cartridges today.Then you state that today,there are alot of good choices.I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt,and assuming you know that ... 
Jan Allaerts Cartridge Experience?
I do wish that someone with extensive knowledge of the top Allaerts models could/would add some "extensive" thoughts,and insight into,what appear to be some extraordinary designs.When I look at the Allaerts website,and see the amount of manufactur... 
Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
Larry,though I do love your comments,the fact that your original Temper-v was bought used,and then began to degrade(I had a Temper that was still going strong for 8 yrs,before I upgraded to the "V")kind of dulls down the comparison.I mean this wit... 
How Cary 805 will go with Kharma 3.2
I have heard the wonderful 3.2's on numerous occassions.Unless your room is huge,you should be about as happy as Patrick Rafter would have been,had he won an Australian open -:) The Cary 805 is a SUPER amp!!You should be doing cartwheels,from euph... 
Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
Nsgarsh,The comments made here,about the Orpheus are really NOT like the ZYX UNIV crowds'"never ending story"!Here we have a new,and interesting design that would obviously peak interest.Of course the Transfiguration "W" or "V" are superb,yet it's... 
SOTA Nova vs SME 20/2
Hey Raul,I can't really answer for you,though I have some theories.Firstly I always use a Decca record brush just before taking the LP off the platter.I also use a soft brush(actually a facial make-up brush)to dust off any dust(which I seldom see)...
