| Favorite Tube Combinations Elevick, I'd love a copy too! | |
| American-made integrated tube amplifiers Depending on your speakers and their sensitivity, you might look at what is available in the Bottlehead line-up. You can get them as kits (with what all report as great instructions) or you can ask them to build one for you (which will cost a litt... | |
| Micro Seiki RY-5500 motor noise repair pdf Kip,In the past, I have had some success using laboratory equipment isolation equipment (Herz, Kinetic Systems (the makers of Vibraplane), Shima-Koki, etc). This lowers the resonant frequency of the TT base to 2-3Hz in both the horizontal and the ... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? I have the ZYX Artisan, and I like it enough (despite it being the only SS gain component in an otherwise tube gain chain) that it is in no danger of getting 'upgraded' any time soon. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? "The Bosses" Joe Turner and Count Basie, Dvorak Symphony #2 (Monteux, London), Donald Byrd's 'Byrd Blows on Beacon Hill' | |

| Micro Seiki tone arm base for SAEC WE-8000/ST The guy to whom I was referring is here. Disclaimer: I have never dealt with him. His stuff can also be purchased on Yahoo! Auctions in Japan. If you need a link to his auctions there, please let me know. Enjoy. I would love to get my hands on one... | |
| Micro Seiki tone arm base for SAEC WE-8000/ST My list doesn't suggest which one is right for the SAEC 8000/ST. The SAEC 8000 has a slightly longer effective length than the SAEC 506/30, but also has a slightly longer overhang so my bet is that most appropriate is going to be an AX-6G. They ar... | |
| Zyx Universe Break In They usually require several months of break-in (assuming you are listening a few hours every day). I provide a free break-in service for the carts. Please send it immediately so I can start working on it!In all seriousness, mine was pretty good s... | |
| Vintage Japanese Turntables Hi CW, I don't know what your budget is, and what 'vintage cool' is for you. Offhand, fitting the category of tables which would accept the SMEIII, I like the high-design look of the PD-310, and stretching higher, the PD-444 and PD-555, and of cou... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks Albert, the lineup just seems to accumulate as I find pieces to try out. Gotta start tossing some back. I have not re-plinthed anything like you have done with your Technics (though the DP80 is not an original plinth).The P3 is the one acce... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? 45s, because my DD TT starts spinning incredibly fast (and continues accelerating - it's really quite scary) when I push 'Start' on 33. Aaaaaargh!!!So it's been a bit o' Miles, a bit o' Bill Evans, and my only George Benson record, which is a 45. ... | |
| Advice Needed on Mono Phono Preamps The Zanden Model 1100 is a dedicated mono-only phono pre. I do not know if it is still a 'current model' - my understanding was that a new one was on its way. I have not seen many others out there (disclosure: I have one - don't use it much but I ... | |
| recommendations for a sub $2000 cdp I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that for $2k, the best thing out there is likely to be a musicserver rather than a CDP. I am still figuring out which way to go, but for $2k, I would be leaning towards a Mac mini + a Buffalo DAC from twis... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Lew, I was asking about routing, for the armboard recess, inside the main plinth, rather than making a second plinth for an armboard (which should be possible with a waterjet as it could simply be two pieces of the same single slab (a large rectan... |
