Vibraplane
Thomas,I have two friends using the active units.Both used to run VPI TNT model 6,with both using Air Tangent arms.The results,as compared to everything else they tried,weighed heavily in favor of the Vibraplane.Clearly audible!! Now,they have mov... 
Best table to Expect To Find at a Garage Sale
Garrard 301.Then have the "Shindo" mod done to it.You will have a world class table,at that point! 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
Doug,in all honesty,you seem to becoming a bit guilty of what I was being accused of some months ago. I really tried to make my comments rather benign,and specifically stated that the criticism "was not earth shattering",and could be attended to,w... 
Given Avalon Eidleon is considered one of the best
Meaning no disrespect,this business of "house sound" is a bit silly.The system is dependent on the Amp/speaker interface,the room personality,and the associated equipment being used.After that,it is up to the experience,and skills of the owner to ... 
Subwoofer Speake Cable - Important??
I have a REL Stentor,and switched from the generic cable,supplied,to one from "The Cable Co".Cost was two hundred bucks.Made by XLO,and very well constructed.The difference was CLEARLY an audible improvement.NOT earth shattering,but more weight,an... 
Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs Scheu
Rene,though you seem to be "sold" on a Spacedeck,which seems to be a fine design,I might suggest you take a look at the current Oracle units.These are,also,all metal designs,and don't let the fairly light(designed that way)platter fool you.These a... 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
Not to try to create a bad vibe,but the Triplanar does have some important warts,that the mfgr has NOT,to my knowledge corrected.Since so many of us are so critical about the most minute detail of analog,I have to mention two of them,and would be ... 
Classic speakers to hunt down used
Avalon Ascent Mk-2--Rediculously good,3 way.Easy load to drive.Sealed enclosure(means great midbass),and stunning extension,and timbres.Added benefit,was an external crossover.Gorgeous cabinetry to boot,and the used mkt prices are a STEAL!! Choice... 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
Rick,we are (Sid,Dave and some others)going out to dinner,after the show.In the local area,where I know of a KILLER restaurant.Of course you are invited!Also,if you join us,you will experience some of the FINEST "cheap wines" available,in the Cent... 
Uno Vs Kharma
Sorry to disagree with Larry,but my friend(an experienced audiophile/music lover)drives a Kharma Ceramic 1.0 to superb results withn a Rowland 8t,250 wpc.I HAVE head all types of amps on Kharmas,and DO prefer Lamm,yet the SS match my friend has is... 
I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris.
The Ascents are a fairly easy load,to drive.Unless your room is huge,and you listen to loud rock,you should be fine.BTW--those are fine components,in and of themselves. Best! 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
RWD,I loved "16 Blocks",and "Inside Man"!Actually "V For Vendetta" was quite good too.I liked "Capote",and "Outback Mountain"(Oh,that's a steak place)as well.But the movie I'm really waiting for is "The Davinci Code"!!Read the book and WOW!I hope ... 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
RWD,funny you should mention the Garrard.I brought this table up to Sid,two days ago,as I printed out a review,for him,and his pal.He lamented that he owned it,years ago.He claimed he was really sorry that he had gotten rid of it.He meant it! Also... 
Anyone try Townshend Super Tweeters?
TBG,great post.I'm starting to save up. Thanks. 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
Doug,actually I believe the cheap wine I brought to Larry's place may have been partly responsible for the disappointing amount of correspondence he and I have had(I was pretty sad about that,for awhile,but I've gotten good at rationalizing).Hey,i...
