| AUDIO RESEARCH-WHERE ARE THEY GOING Leonard was the best. However, if you can't get a hold of Calvin ask for Chris Osanna. I have talked to Leonard many times and if he was not available i would ask for Chris. | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 Thanks Sunnyboy, Downunder and Mike Lavigne. This is the wisdom i was looking for. I think i will stay put for a while on the analog front since i have an ARC Ref 150 on order to replace my old Classic 120 mono's (circa 1990). You guys "rock". | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 Hi all. Very informative thread. I have a Graham Phantom II with an Ortofon A90. I have just enough funds for ONE upgrade. What would be the biggest (sonically speaking) ROI ?Question: Should i replace the tonearm with a Talea 2 ?Should i bring th... | |
| KT120 transformer failures Hifigeek, Have you or has ARC (to your knowledge) re-tubed a pair of Classic 120's with the KT120 without modding the tranny. 120's with 120's that should be a match in heaven. However we're talking 8 output tubes per amp and that could put a majo... | |
| Just sold my Dynavector XV-1s Yes, the serial# is on the cart for a XV1's. The OP may not know or remember the serial #. Just make sure that the cart is sent back along with the certificate that was with it. That way you can at least match the 2 numbers. If they don't match th... | |

| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 Just to chip in for a minute, i have a pair of CL120's since 1990. Those have been modded by Steve Huntley and the inputs were also balanced. I agree with Hifigeek about those Chinese bottles. The day i got them home from the dealer and plug them ... | |
| New way of dealing with Low Ballers? We have lowballers and we have the geographically challenged ones but worst are those who possess both attributes. Once, i posted an add for a VD power cable with asking price of $1000.00 with sale to USA and Canada ONLY. NO overseas. A Bozo sends... | |
| How many LP's do you own? How long did it take? Like Lewn i have approx. 2000 LP's and that is way too many. Indeed, only a selected 10% (or fewer) get play time. I still buy audiophile LP's here and there but nothing more. I don't do yard sale or estate sale so that i can cram 8000 LP's in my ... | |
| PS AUDIO PREMIER Same issue with me. Bought a PPP directly from PS when it came out. Nothing but problems (clicking, rebooting, fans going crazy). Sent it back to PS. Second unit was no different 3 months of use. Sent it back. 3rd unit arrived but developed other ... | |
| Classe move to China Geez, this thread has really gone viral and no one has brought up religion yet. You American boys are well behaved. Classe did not move to China. It is B&W, the now parent company, that moved Classe to China. Executive decisions such as this o... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps Hi Tylercoupe. I have a REF3 LE and REF Phono 2 which had been "modded" by Steve Huntley (GNSC) when i got them new from the Dealer. Looking at some of the pictures from the link above shows stunning similarities between my modded units and those ... | |

| SME V aftermarket cable? Silver Breeze indeed. Very good cable for the asking price. Was using it with my SME V a few years ago. Now i use Stealth Hyperphono with my Graham Phantom. There is one for sale on here for $1450.00. The seller is giving it away at that price.You... | |
