Graham tonearm tweaking
Boy did you touch on my pet project of winter 2004!!This is a critical adjustment that can make or break the ultimate performance of this arm.I spent the good part of winter into spring RE-LEARNING to dial in these parameters.What I'm really refer... 
ZYX Airy2-X-SB on Graham 2.2
Larry.It would be very difficult for me to "Lower My Flag",as it will be at HALF MAST for the next month or so,until my table returns to me.Then the re-dialing in of my set-up.Allow me a little leverage to vent some frustration.After all,you had o... 
the best amp to run the bass of infinity RS-1b's
I have an old friend,who is quite an experienced hobbyist,and,record collector.He runs his RS-1b's with Krell on bottom and CJ PREMIER 8's on top.Believe it or not,he is using PHOENIX GOLD speaker cabling throughout.This is really cheap stuff.I au... 
ZYX Airy2-X-SB on Graham 2.2
Larry,I have a SOTA COSMOS series 3.I have been assured this motor problem will be taken care of to my satisfaction.In the meantime,my Levinson 390s will have to do,but,I do love my record collection.Lots of standard repertoire and some really uni... 
ZYX Airy2-X-SB on Graham 2.2
Larry,you seem like a GOOD MAN,but,I'm in no position to start making calls on a friend's behalf.I'll pass the info to him.SO,what is the mystery about the list of the UNIV?I have no doubt that it must be special indeed,but am simply curious,and,w... 
Is Wadia 861se close to the best?
I had Great Northern Sound update my Audio Research preamp.The job that was done was utterly spectacular.Meticulous attention to detail and performance that shocked,so much so that a friend immediately had the same work done.Not cheap,but,worth ev... 
ZYX Airy2-X-SB on Graham 2.2
Based on the fantastic feedback on the ZYX line that I've read about on this thread,and the fact that you guys seem to know what you are talking about,I have just recommended a friend to look into this line.He originally was interested in a SHELTE... 
Re-biasing a CJ Premier 8
Fernando,the friend of mine using the Premier 8 is a former reviewer for TAS.I had the retubing discussion with him,and,he continues to use the tubes supplied by CJ themselves.He had spoken with Lew Johnson who feels the stock tubes are fine.This ... 
CJ premier 8 - please share your comments
By the way,Fernando,and,unrelated to your amp issue,the Eclipse speakers are absolutely a fabulous choice.I really believe my friend made a mistake by selling his pair,although he won't admit it.As I'm sure you already know they have SOTA soundsta... 
NOS tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 1
Does anyone have a "good" source for a few Amperex 6922 usa PQ's.Thanks> 
Graham Phantom vs the Graham 2.2
Strapper.Just wanted to ask you if you think one of the factors for the better performance you are getting might be the higher weight of the Koetsu being a better match for the more massive(than 2.2)arm tube of the Phantom. 
CJ premier 8 - please share your comments
Fernando,before spending any further money,why can't you ask your wife if you could move the speakers out into the room for one day,just to hear the different perspective.My friend's wife was very against him doing this,since his was,also,a living... 
AA capitole mk2 VS. Wadia 861
On the "High-end Audio" web-site Arthur Salvatore indicates that that,according to his group of experienced audio pals,they far preffered the Wadia to the Audio Aero.Further,they felt that the Capitole was not overly reliable,in long term use.I ca... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
Even if TENOR never comes back there are always quality repair/update vendors that can do the type of work necessary.I just hope that those that bought the,ECELLENT,Tenor products don't bail on them.This would,of course,be a boon for the "looking ... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
I agree wholeheartedly with Fmpnd's sentiments.Unless you are a Krell or a WILSON the VAST majority of high end gear is manufactured by VERY small firms.We,also,must take this into account when dealing with companies like these.Case in point:I rec...
