TriPlanar Tips
Great stuff,and I'm not surprised,considering the source. That being said,when I owned mine(happily for 3 yrs),I did not attach the little front lift bar,on the side of the headshell.I figured this gave me a tad less mass,and I used the cue instea...

4yanx,just wanted to let you know that you did a great job with this thread.It is not all Audiogon members that would be amicable to spending the time to give all of us the "Little Rush" we all get when viewing new pics,and system input,like Raul'...

Raul,what happened to the Shroder REF you had said you were going to report to us on.You had mentioned this around December,2004.Do you still plan to do this.I have obvious interest in this.Thanks. 
What's Best Care for Piano Black Finish Speakers?
The best type of soft cloth will most likely be a flannel one.You can find it in any material store,or do as I did,and cut up your old PJ's.Use a good fabric softener,and you have a great,soft polishing cloth.

Raul,I think it would have been fun to see a picture of your music collection too.Far too many hobbyists(I'm not accusing you of this)are way too into the hardware aspect of the hobby.I've been accused of that as well.However,it is the software th... 
upgrade ARC SP-8
Newbee,don't make any excuses for your decision to hang onto your SP-10.I had one,and it is a great unit!!!If you want to explore possible further improvement,you can speak to Steve,at Great Northern Sound.Otherwise,what you have is DAMN GOOD!!I s... 
Any feedback on the Graham Phantom
Gmorris,Wow,you have a really great memory.I'm happy for you,in that you love the Phantom(actually,what's not to love?).I saw it at HE-2005,and it seems to be a fine product.Good luck!!Actually,my latest little project is tube rolling my phono sec...

On a lighter note:Raul,your wife must be a GODDESS to allow you to indulge,to this level.I know,when I built my dedicated room,some years ago,I had to come up with some pretty pricey "BLING",to quell her!!Now,I've basically"Bought" her off,so I'm ... 
Clearaudio v. Teres
Frank,I'm not as honorable as you may suspect.I lied about the Reisling,and went for a Shiraz,instead.Though I pulled a late night listening session,'til 2 am.,and, had a ball,ALONE in my dedicated music room(my little version of "The Fortress Of ... 
Koetsu Urushi Cartridges - Differences?
As a former Koetsu owner(4 diff models over 10 yrs),I now know why my pal was SO interested in buying my Urushi.He has retipped,and has two of them.To him,a very experienced audiophile,the Koetsu line is like the ROLEX product.You get a fabulous p... 
Clearaudio v. Teres
Dear Frank and Thomas,I sort of feel like an innocent bystander,intervening at an accident scene,where one auto driver is about to go at it with the other driver.I DO have the best intentions here,but would like to sort of mention,from my own poin... 
Clearaudio v. Teres
Thomas,I too feel the(incredibly intriguing)Shroder Ref is VERY pricey,however as Mr.S,himself,once said,on a different thread,"let someone else try to make one for less".I still feel that arm should sell(could sell)for less,but that isn't going t... 
Clearaudio v. Teres
Larry,PLEASE,PLEASE comment on a 2.2 vs Shroeder Ref comparison,in your set-up when the time comes.You indicate you will get the Shroeder,but hold onto the Graham(if you can) for a valid comparison. 
Calling all ZYX aficionados
Larry,your interest and experience with cryo'd interests me.Food for a future conversation. As for anything under my table.No way.I've tried other stuff and LOVE the way it now sounds.Also,my table cannot have anything under it,due to the suspensi...
