| Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G atmasphere- I was hoping for you to drop by and provide some insight. "The one I feel works best on there is the Oracle mat, but then you have a problem with the spindle being too short for a collet-style record clamp. In due time I hope to fix... | |
| Gold Note PH-10 vs Manley Chinook To my ears, Chinook does what tube units do- give a level of "organic" that's a hit or miss thing with SS. Not "tubey" but "real" presentation. If you're a "Listen for noise" type, max volume no music playing will result in tube hiss. Goldnote... | |

| Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G 'It would also be great if Technics offer a Motor / Platter only with a purpose produced Power Supply - Speed Controller" pindac, What about the SP10? https://us.technics.com/products/direct-drive-turntable-sp-10re-s?_pos=1&_psq=SP-10&_... | |
| Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G Based on specs, the 1300 essentially has most of engineering of the 1200G/SP10 Naturally, Technics did things to meet the P.P . Out of the box, a stock 1200G can be a "done" piece. The aesthetic is the deal breaker for me. | |
| Rays Tubes Anyone with $$ resources can private label a MIC generic tube. Have it stamped with your own label and "exclusive testing/select" marketing BS and we audiophools will open our wallets. | |
| Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G "So the Technics is in a league above the Aries?" ozzy62- I’m a VPI user also. In speed accuracy Technics wins, unless you have the Phoenix/Sota RR setup? Otherwise, just a personal SQ call. SL 1300 + aftermarket arm= SOTA DD on a "budget"? | |
| Upgrade for Day Sequerra FM Reference Tuner 21 year old thread. hifigeezer you must be bored. Most of the posters likely gave up on FM at least a decade ago! That Sequerra upgrade for $3800 will buy a Marantz 10B, and it will sound more convincing. I'm one of those FM weirdos- 67 Mac MR ... | |
| Advice on a recently purchased Maplenoll Athena "I don’t know if Pierre is still active but I think the company still exists." Umm...Pierre passed 3 years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Sprey I do remember their cataolgs mentioning how Pierre was a Maplenoll fan. Hopefully, th... | |
| VPI Industries---Love the Company as Much as their Turntables 'The bottom line is, I heard little difference between the gimbal and the pivot styles." Interesting...Does that mean the VPI gimbal design isn't much of an "improvement?" Guess it's in the ear of the listener. The gimbal looks just as low tech ... | |
| Is this a bargain? Deals like this get my attention. It's the only way I like to acquire such extravagance. The buyer would be able to use AT's rebuild service. I believe ART1000 is the only model eligible? AT33SA(the top model) to my ears is nice, but not ART... | |
| Is this a bargain? Yes, I noticed..someone got a heck of a deal or it's a call in to order? What about my query- can the cart be dismantled from the headshell? ART1000 $5K "lightly used" for half is a steal. To my ears, on a proper setup it's in the uber cart l... | |

| Are your records a health concern? I've been listening with zero worry with the new outfit. Working on a feeding tube to enjoy a beer. Getting visitors to put one on is challenging. | |
