Rowland "house sound"?
Yes,Darn Good,is the house sound. 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
I have a different type of system,yet one that is incredibly musical,to me.Rowland modded two chassis 8t amp(switch mode PS in second chassis,taking the place of battery,and even quieter),driving fairly large Avalon speakers,with a REL Stentor sub... 
Shelter and Triplanar matching ?
I had a conversation,two weeks ago,with a major arm mfgr.He claimed that the best conductor was silver,and that "anything using gold" was inferior.He stated that gold was only useful for keeping oxidation at bey!We were talking arm cabling,here,bu... 
Shelter and Triplanar matching ?
Doug,thanks for the interesting comparison. "More Koetsu-ish than a Koetsu.It made me puke"- Now I have to admit that it's a dead heat,in terms of "great post quotes",between Raul's "swimming in a tuxedo"(I really laughed at that one)and now this,... 
What cartridge?? Lyra, Dyno etc...
Nsgarsh,when the Cartridge Man was available to me,I knew nothing about the "guage" thing.I don't even think digital guages existed back then(other than the C.M.).At that time I was using some kind of see-saw gadget.Actually I only made comments q... 
What cartridge?? Lyra, Dyno etc...
One final thought---Do we really think we deserve a fifteen dollar digital guage(the actual cost of the Jensen/ Digi-One) for measuring cartridges that cost thousands?To me,and I did invest in a cheapo,I need to feel more confident in something of... 
What cartridge?? Lyra, Dyno etc...
Nsgarsh,Dan--You are both right.I've done it both ways!Truthfully,my pal,Sid likes to see a confirmation of exact downforce,for his happiness.I don't really care,as I generally know how I want my rig to sound.However it is quite fun to have an aut... 
What cartridge?? Lyra, Dyno etc...
I have the Audio One,too,as does my pal.However when we compared it to the Winds guage,two weeks ago,it was off by over .13gms.That's alot,and I'm beginning to lose confidence in it. Using the Audio One,we never were able to flesh out his cartridg... 
Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?
As a good friend of EBM,I have to state that there seems to be a conundrum here,as the Venustas phono cable seemed to sound great,in his set-up.I hope everything works out! Best regards! 
THE LATEST---Gold plated fuses?
Bob,where's my "SAX" Oistrakh encores LP? 
Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system
At this point I WAS considering replacing my Graham IC-70 phono cable with the Venustas.My friend did,but having been at that listening session/comparison,I still have reservations about the Venustas,in areas of High Freq air,and slight loss of dy...

John,a stunning post,to me!Really interesting thoughts,and the passion behind your journey is evident.Thanks,so much,for taking the time to keyboard this.A great read!! 
Opinions on Epiphany 20/21's?
I have heard the 12/12's only,yet I felt that they possessed all the qualities that describe "true" high end sound.I've discussed the 20/21's with my little club of fellow hobbyists,and we all feel that given the line source array,and seemingly fi... 
What cartridge?? Lyra, Dyno etc...
Hey Dan,I hope I can save you some money,to put towards your cartridge choice(I have a Tranny Temper-v,btw),as you had originally mentioned you were considering a Winds guage.Well,my pal,and myself are going "the cheap route",and buying the new di... 
What cartridge?? Lyra, Dyno etc...
This seems to be a fascinating product line!With all the attention given to the more popular cartridges,it would really be great(at least to me)if some of the lucky few can shed some more light on these designs. What seems to seperate these from s...
