| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic I recently had my Ortofon Bronze retipped by Andy. Everything about the experience was outstanding. Amazing quick turnaround and the cart sounds phenomenal. | |
| Amplifier for Wilson Audio Alexia V I use the PS Audio BHK 250 with my Watt Puppy’s and it sounds great. Not at the price point you mentioned but plenty of power and finesse. | |
| Fried my Wilson Watt Puppy 7 tweeters, now what? I had a tweeter go out on my version 3 watt/puppies not too long ago and after talking to Wilson was told they will only sell the replacements to a dealer for install. I went that route which involved two new tweeters and new resistors because my ... | |
| Looking for some Watt/Puppy 5 Advice I have 3/2’s and had a tweeter go bad. You have to go to a Wilson dealer to get them ordered along with revised resisters. I had the dealer install the tweeter and resisters. Not a cheap repair but well worth the investment in my mind. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! To be honest, I’m just guessing it’s 14, it was never discussed. I would assume he put in what he felt was appropriate for my level of equipment in use. I will ask him next time we speak. My run to the basement panel is roughly 40 feet. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! He used MC 14 gauge to a surface mount box in my audio closet. It was a very clean install. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! My electrician turned out to be an audiophile with quite a system of his own. He was very enthusiastic about doing this. His entire system is run off of multiple dedicated lines. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! Yesterday I had a dedicated 20 amp line installed for my system after putting it off for years. All I can is - do it. I noticed an immediate improvement in my system. I have had a subwoofer hum forever that no amount of tweaking could fix, its now... | |
| PS Audio S300 vs Wadia a315 My two cents is stay away from anything Wadia. I had a Wadia CD player that broke down and with them being out of business was out of luck on repairs. I’ve had many PS Audio components and find them excellent. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Saw Gary Clark at the new Met concert hall in Philly. He was terrific and the Met is magnificent. Seeing Peter Frampton there next month, can’t wait. | |
| Audible Illusions modulus 3A, what would be the next level of up grade? I had a 3A with the John Curl phono board for many years and really felt it was an excellent sounding unit. It did eat tubes and I had a major problem with it when one of the volume controls shorted and sent a spike to one speaker. Very costly pro... | |
| why no recent Merlin speaker reviews? I own what I believe are one of the last pair of TSM's that were produced. Very long journey with Bobby to finally get them which after finding out the troubles the company was having were towards the end made sense.The really strange twist to my ... | |
| MC Cartridges Under $1,000 I second the vote for the Denon 103. I had one on my Scoutmaster while my Shelter 90x was getting rebuilt and really was impressed. I would have no issue with this being my everyday cart. | |
| In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music I received two emails from somebody at Merlin yesterday about an order I have pending. I was told the company is in "lock down" and until they can work throught the legalities of control of the company no orders are being processed. They did not a... | |
