Why Linear Tracking never took off?
You have already gotten fabulous responses to what is MY love affair with certain linear arms,AND I only own a GRAHAM 2.2,which is not chopped liver,but,compared to what I have heard(on numerous occassions,and through numerous other component chan... 
cartridge demagnetizing vs. no demagnetization
By the way.I too have a Sumiko Fluxbuster that I've used many times(with no ill effects)on a Koetsu Rosewood Sig.and an Onyx Sapphire.The results were clearly slightly better.I now have a,lovely,Transfiguration Temper-v that I have been a bit scar... 
aestetix rhea - the groove - sutherland fono stage
I agree,to a good extent,with Rushton.I had a battery powered ROWLAND 8t amp that although is a diff. component,also similarly,had unacceptable dynamics,compared to the updated switchmode power supply that I had Jeff install,replacing the battery.... 
cartridge demagnetizing vs. no demagnetization
I sent 2 letters to T.A.S. asking for clarification on this subject with NO response.I guess they are too concerned about increasing their circulation on 5.1 surround sound,yet they post pictures of their CLASSIC OLD ISSUES and articles from 20 ye... 
Infinity IRS BETA Servo with Balanced Pre/Amps
RWD,I also owned and loved the RS_1's.The current market of speakers,even the high priced spread cannot compete with your speakers.My friend had his crossover done some years ago,and,the person no longer does this work.I would HIGHLY recommend cal... 
How Good is Walker Extreme SST Contact Enhancer
Rushton,I respect your opinions,as I've read quite a few of your posts,and you seem to be quite reliable.I will have an opportunity to hear within 2 weeks the results on EBM's set-up as he is a friend,and I know his system well.Don't get me wrong ... 
Infinity IRS BETA Servo with Balanced Pre/Amps
I owned these speakers some years back.I was FORCED to sell them because of a move to another state.PLEASE,PLEASE find a way to get these to perform for you.You will not be sorry.They were one of the finest speakers I've ever heard,when set up pro... 
How Good is Walker Extreme SST Contact Enhancer
Interesting comments,and I'm sure accurate.However how would you guys respond to the OVER THE TOP rave reviews on the SST stuff that positive feedback online magazine gave.Also Arthur Salvatoe of High End Audio Online who is a real sceptic,just ga... 
Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage?
I get the impression that those,critical of the pricing of this speaker,would love nothing more than to own a pair.Myself included.Cabinet cost IS what drives the prices of this level product.Take a look at other competition like the hideously exp... 
Comments / Observation on Dynavector 505 tonearm?
I had a friend who owned one some years back.It is widely regarded as a classic.Very unique.Call VPI for further thoughts on set-up&installation. 
Vintage tubes skyrocketing in price
I thought I could add some insight,based upon a recent experience that a friend of mine just had.After the two of us had Great Northern Sound VERY SUCCESSFULLY rebuild,from the ground up,and,not cheap,our Audio research SP-15 preamps(which use 3 -... 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
Doug,I think if we pool our resources we could come up with the right(perfect match),but we would have to work out some kind of "divorce type"custody agreement.I have not,and probably will never hear the KUZMA 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
I forgot to mention,there IS a PERFECT arm out there,but it is also REDICULOUS dollars.Fortunately I have been lucky enough to hear it on many occassions and through numerous other component upgrades,so,I THINK I know it's sonic signature quite we... 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
Doug,I think I made it clear in my posts that I thought the WHEATON was a fine arm.However easy it is to fine tune out certain design imperfections and dial into a specific parameter(many analog front end stuff have these quirks),these manufacture... 
What amp should be used with merlin vsm's?
The previous posts are very good advice.Anyway,if you have ELITE solid state driving some tubes in the pre or more importantly,the phono stage you should enjoy superb sound,run cooler,have better bass control and not have to deal with tube replace...
