I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris.
Rcprince,I currently have the Ascents 8 1/2 feet out,into a 22.5x13 room.The staging is superb,yet Avalon would like them an additional foot out.This won't happen.Not to sound like I'm trying to rationalise something I own(every hobbyist is guilty... 
Manly Steelhead - any downside??
Vetterone,I owe it to you to keep this brief,yet,hopefully interesting. My friend and myself have spent a good part of winter 2004/5 trying out the vast majority of phono tubes.This actually ended in June 2006.We tried the Amperex 6922 White label... 
I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris.
BTW-I took a look at your equipment list.I begin to wonder if you are a collector or dealer.If you are a collector,I really love your stuff.You definitely have the ancillaries to drive the Osiris.If a dealer,you have some great stuff,that unfortun... 
I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris.
I have heard this speaker,and honestly,it is a CLASSIC.You won't do better,even in todays overpopulated market.One thing,you must have a good sized room,and good amplification.If the speakers are in good shape,and the price is right(list was 72 th... 
ASR Basis Exclusive and WHICH MC cartridge??
Schorly,you "schorly" must have a good bit more knowledge of things analog than you let on,in this thread.As you do have fabulous stuff,and SHOULD have a good dealer,for support,and a more accessible answer to your question should come from him/he... 
Nova Utopia Be $38K - Are they good?
Amperidian,I must say that you make a very compelling argument regarding the new Utopia tweets.I have to admit to liking these speakers,yet DO feel the new tweets are much more obvious than some other less heavily marketed types.I have heard the n...

Mike,please don't forget to post comparisons of the ZYX Univ and Dynavector XV-1s.This would be very interesting to many vinyl fans.Best regards!

Mike,thanks for a really interesting,and thought provoking read.This must have taken you a good bit of time to keyboard,yet I LOVED it.Keep the follow up,and comparisons coming. Best regards. 
ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm
Vetterone--Be happy that it was ONLY three minutes,of your life!!At least you didn't have to sit through "The Dukes Of Hazard!!!

Doug,I think it is appropriate that I appologize to you,for the tone of my post.It was smart of you not to respond.I got carried away.Any response is NOT necessary.Just wanted to put this out there,to you! 
ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm
Cello,firstly I hope you and your family have gotten through the horrible weather.I still cannot get in touch with my folks. I'd like to clear up a few things,you may not be clear on.Firstly your mention of my wine consumption(which I'll take as a... 
ZYX Universe and Lyra Titan
George,I will tell you one thing,for sure.If I ever run for any elected office,and must debate you,I will absolutely drop out of the race.Your language command,and tenacity are too much for me!BTW--that was an off colored compliment,so have a litt... 
ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm
Actually,the bucket is,and must be full of holes,so one can simply push down and pick up balls,easily.Kind of hurts the back to bend over too much!A neat tweak for tennis buckets,but thanks for the insight! 
ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm
Dear Lugnut,thanks for being so candid and TOO polite in your correspondence.To be honest,I DO have too big a mouth,at times,and surely went a good bit overboard in this posting.I have respect for Doug(you too Cello),and have mentioned it in past ... 
ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm
Doug,thanks for the insight on your "2.2 vs the world" experiences.It tells me a heck of alot more about the choices made by the owner of such an expensive table/arm/cartridge,and the people involved in it's set up(it makes NO difference who they ...
