Turntable speed accuracy
Lewn ~ a customer of mine has the TTWeights upgraded player with the new extended rim and still the Timeline showed it was unstable. Can he hear it? No but it didn't make him fell all warm and fuzzy. 
Turntable speed accuracy
Lewm ~ I have the TTWeights rim drive and the Timeline shows it does not have speed stability, this on 2 different TTWeights rim drive models. Does it sound OK? Yes but when I now listen to a DD table I can clearly hear the difference. (dealer dis... 
Sutherland 2020 vs Parasound jc 3
Have used the JC3 extensively and at it's price (and beyond) it's wonderful. It did take about 200 hours to open up and sound it's best so give it time. As for being quiet I thought it was until I placed a 22 tubed phono unit in its place and the ... 
Phono recommendations for Koetsu
Jaffeassc, you say knowing the price of Audio Note gear....... Do you know the "real" price? You would be shocked at what a distributor actaully buys it for and the mark-up! 
Stereoknight owners or defectors
You are correct, the price difference was significant but worth it IMHO. 
Review: SMc Audio RLD-1 2012 Platinum Edition Preamplifier
I've never heard the RLD-1 2012 but I do own the SMc VRE-1b and it is by far the best pre-amp I've owned, it beat out my $100,000 Kondo M1000 MKII by a good margin and since I've not heard better.Enjoy(dealer disclaimer) 
Ocellia cables IC why not much talk?
Firochromis ~ I have but since I also sell Ocellia I can't explain in this forum but feel free to email me for info.(dealer disclaimer) 
Stereoknight owners or defectors
I used the silver version of the StereoKnight for about 9 months until I heard the SMC VRE-1. Much more 3D and dynamics and since then never going back.(dealer disclaimer) 
Great Cables ... That Get Little Attention
Charlesdad ~ 4 customers that had Kondo KSL-LP interconnects now sold them for the Ocellia and all 4 have agreed (myself makes 5) that the Ocellia are more neutral and cleaner and just sound right than the 4 times expensive Kondo cables. Price doe... 
Great Cables ... That Get Little Attention
Ie....if you had 4 Kondo AC cords it is my opinion that was a big mistake, I sell Kondo gear and their power cords don't do ANY equipment any justice! Over the years customers have called to buy a Kondo AC cord and basically I tell them to look el... 
Avantgarde or Tonian?
Mapman, semantics yes but over my 40 plus years of listening all I know is that when a system wows me it also fatigues me over time and I end up not listening for either long sessions or at all however when a system lets me forget about the equipm... 
Avantgarde or Tonian?
I've heard Avantgardes many a time and they can sound amazing but I can also understand when someone says they sound hi-fi sounding what is meant. They tend to grab your attention and make you take notice and say wow! On the other hand I've owned ... 
High quality subwoofer - which one?
I use a single JL Audio Fathom f113 (no external cross-over required) and it's the best I've had or heard. I came from 2 REL Stentors and the bass is now more defined and tighter.(Dealer disclaimer - not for JL though) 
Headshell Washers : Nylon or Stainless Steel?
Pryso ~ not as hard as you think. All I did was make sure both screws were tight than replaced one at a time being sure nothing moved, not that hard to do. Then the other. The only difference would be in how much torque was applied, a variable ind... 
Defective REL G1 Subwoofers
