Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
Larry,as my son is starting his medical internship at George Washington Hosp/Med center,this June,and I will be visiting from time to time,so don't be so quick with the invites.Some of us fanatics may take your offer up! Also,I checked out the Kli... 
How to set SRA after determining true vertical?
Dan,you may have taken me a bit too literally.You like Jazz!So do I.If you would like to move a bit towards the Classical genre,start listening to some composers like some of John Zorn's film music(only available on digital,but superbly recorded),... 
Tracking Force Gauges
Andtrew,take a look at the "for sale" area of Audiogon,under cartridges.The 95 dollar digital guage(measuring in the 1/1000's,btw) was ordered by myself,and a few friends.It is very accurate(we compared it to a Winds guage)and NOW Acoustic sounds ... 
Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
I doubt if I could find the '62 gloss hardwoods,and original finish.Besides those suckas are heavy.I really don't have the same desire to constantly upgrade as I did some years ago.That's one reason I really like your set-up,and "audio mentality".... 
How to set SRA after determining true vertical?
Dan,take a look at the Acoustic Sounds latest advertising.They're selling our little(well,mine)digital guage(95 bucks on Audiogon)for 185 dollars!MAN,we could have bought them all up,and made enough to buy a Blue Pearl!Well maybe a platter mat,for...

Hey Doug,time to sell the Mazda and go for the Air Tangent "electro",where you can set VTA by remote and have a cute little digital readout.The price of gas DEMANDS this of you!! 
Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
The responsibility of ANY audio "best friend" is to try/buy ALL products of interest,to your pals!Then allow yourself to be the "moneyman/guinea pig",whereas all others can make a determination whether they,themselves, should obtain said equipment...

Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
Larry,could you let me know what equipment you have,as well as the LP's you use to determine a cartridge's performance? Thanks,in advance. 
Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
Nsgarsh,like you I am already "blown away" with how superb,already, the "underated" Trannies can perform.Of course that would consist of an arm that was NOT "sibilent",as it would destroy the magic.-:)Since both our arms are not of the "sibilent" ... 
Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
Nsgarsh,nice to hear from ya!A couple of points,that I may not be accurate about,but here goes.Firstly, why would a lower compliance necessarily be better?Especially at 9 grams. Also,from the experience of myself,and all my audio friends,a lower o... 
JM Lab Alto comments please
Superb!Easy to drive .Go hear them and you will have your answer. Best! 
Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
Larry,should you have the verisimilitude to provide us with a fine review of the Orpheus,you can forget about owing me any wine!Let's face it.That was only a "pipedream" anyway -:) Besides,why would you owe me anything?I enjoy interesting audio ba... 
Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2?
BTW Bob,You were right when I called you two months ago,regarding the IC-70 vs some high priced spreads. I had asked you if you felt the IC-70 could be improved upon.Obviously you defended,emphatically,the IC-70,and stated that the other choices w...
