| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Thomasheisig, I think these are cartridges, right? If so, your question is one that I cannot answer. I have no idea whether investing $8000 plus in a Halcyonics and $2000 in a turntable, arm, and cartridge can rival a $10,000 turntable, arm, and c... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Lewm, yes, you are right I've got mine, but I really do wish everyone could have these magic devices, and I would love to have several more. I know from personal experience that you cannot get the same benefit from a second component stacked on to... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Elberoth2, I heard that they hoped to sell it for $8500 or less, but I have never seen it listed.I think you can see why my experiences are so frustrating. It has become unobtainium. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Lewm, Halcyonic is not a US company, it is German. The initial price several years ago was $7800 for the Model One. See: http://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/he2005/4.html although I do remember a price in the $6500 range. The US importer hoped ... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow There is a California company that is distributor for the scientific community. Laufer Teknic does the audio aspects worldwide.I suspect that the weak dollar is chiefly responsible for this product not taking off in the US. I have no idea how it i... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Lewm, I cannot tell you. All I can suggest is to call Laufer Teknic. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Elberoth2, The Silencer is the same mechanism as the Micros, but is not self-leveling. I was their effort to hold down the cost. The Silencer reminds me of the Model 1. I am told leveling is easy. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Agreed, and I don't usually watch tennis, although I once went to Wimbledon when I lived in London. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Elberoth2, I honestly don't know. I have used the reference Mana for years, and it is a convenient height.Tvad, when did I say the Halcyonic designers experienced "divine intervention?"When did I say I wanted people to follow "my so-clled well tro... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow As I said you are wrong about the lack of total scientific knowledge and it mere proper application. It is typical of engineers. The notion that you could have a nonresonant isolation base is innovation with so many other following the well trodde... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Tvad, I'm sorry, but I must disagree. They were innovative rather than choosing the well trodden path. You have got to give them credit for thinking outside of the box as you seem inclined to do.I will respond no further as I know all of this is p... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow No conundrum for me. The science that I knew as an undergraduate has changed a great deal in 50 years. Hopefully, we will continue to learn more, such as why quartz can have such a positive effect in some places and such a bad effect elsewhere. Al... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Tvad, I know how you feel, and you should know that I do not feel "established engineering principles" are adequate. The Halcyonic people did try something new and it works. It is not just a rehash of the old spring ideas. I don't respect your hol... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Tvad, as we know from previous exchanges, I proceed by trying things and you persist with a theory of what works. I respect your process even though I have no confidence in it, as I have tried it in the past and found it lacking. I merely ask that... |
