| I built my own Turntable and here are the results nifty little DIY results. Especially if it sounds as nice as it looks. Care to share more details, cost, materials(bearing, motor, arm pod, others) highlights to consider in construction process? | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Welcome elaboration on measurement process, equipment etc...For me anyway, this thread has at least highlighted that better(relevant/reproduceable) measurements are desirable to help in evaluating performance. Few of us have the time, funds or inc... | |
| What phono stage candidates should I consider? Well do report on this stage which I am also oggling. I have his more modest XR-2 which is quite good especially at its price point. XR-10B obviously higher-end design. Also, have his Stealth pre/head-amp and SR-71. Ray is a pleasure to deal with ... | |
| Analog One MkII vs MKIII? I resent my email and received a very quick reply. Gunther confirmed MKIII can upgrade to silencer platter many do, but not std.cheers-tk | |
| Analog One MkII vs MKIII? Appreciate the input. Glad you could alleviate the email burden on Gunther. I would prefer the craftsman to work on TT's designs etc,,, than routine correspondence. Thus the advantage of this fine forum. While I am not concerned about a few days f... | |
| Analog One MkII vs MKIII? Sorry did not mean to imply the response time was slow, I sent on the 23rd so less than a week, and I usually mention no hurry in the email, as my inquiry was simply that and attending to customers as well as important personal matters should take... | |
| Upgrade Path - Arm - ? Teres? appreciate the referal. I just ordered the new belt(crossing my fingers this should help) and was time to replace the cart, so upgraded the Kontrapunt A to a Jubilee, this was a much more affordable way to upgrade and improvements are substantial.... | |
| Lenco tables First trick is finding a good one. While these may be the giant killers they are old and given they were sold as run of the mill players, likely many owners did not care for them, so finding a quality one, especially after all the hype now not so ... | |
| Upgrade Path - Arm - ? Teres? Thank you very much for confirming what I suspected. I will avoid "B". In the long run willl be better to save my $'s and invest wisely. In the meantime Roksan still sounds pretty good when compared to CDs.Was not aware of the Teres, Galibier upgr... | |

| Which sub $1k phono stage to go? This was the one I chose. Todd The Vinyl Junkie has a 30day return policy, also some of the other models. Suggest you demo what ya can, and decide which is best value. Some of the less expensive ones may have better synergy with your setup/cables,... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Tweaks, Up-sample settings, etc. Would be grateful for some more comments on the upsampling performance. The previous comments on what types of music was especially helpful! Oh Yeah the NOS tubes too. I have a tube pre/Headphone amp.I have been considering the DV-50 vs the X-30(R... | |
| Anyone know if Esoteric DV-30 is coming to the US? The DVI feature is available on both but not worth it cost is 40Kyen /approx $380 and 60Kyen approx/$575 depending on FX. Video is the weakest feature for the money can go buy a Momitsu or Bravo.There are other difs too in audio quality/components... | |
| Anybody heard the Cayin CDT15 I am eyeing a similar model-Japan. Actually many of their products. Popular here in Japan. The Japanese model is slightly different. Tubes ECC-88(6DJ8) guessing Sovtek. Dealer recommends & distributes EAT for 300B amp, did not ask about the CD... | |
| would you bother? Yes - I too was put off by the hassles. But since I could not decide on a decent CDP, decided to give Vinly a try. Was/is a little more work, but very enjoyable. A different sound. Adventures finding music, plus more variety. I am still looking fo... |
