| verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace Ledoux,Get the Schroeder! Any Schroeder will be better than your SME 5. The best upgrade though for the Platine is a Battery PSU. I have the GT Audio PSU for my PV/SChroeder 2/Allaerts MC1b. THe battery supply transformed the Platine by reducing t... | |
| Pre owend TT J c verdier Platine My Platine is not fussy at all. It's just set up and play - apart from a new linen thread and occasional oilf or the bearing, I've done no maintenance in the last 4 years.Charlie | |
| Preamps with Avantgarde speakers I use the TRON Meteor preamp from the UK with my Duos. The current TRON pre is the Syren. The TRON was designed to work particularly with AG horns as the designer (Graham Tricker) is the UK distributor for AG. The US agent is Jeff at Highwater Sou... | |
| What Cartridge & Armwand on your Schroder Cmk,Thanks. My wife bought it recently. Don't worry it is a Hamburg Steinway Model B (1981 in a lovely walnut case). She played 20-30 pianos before buying this one inc several Steinways, Fazioli, Bosendorfer, Bluthner etc.Makes my hi-fe feel like ... | |
| What Cartridge & Armwand on your Schroder I use an Allaerts MC1b on my original carbon Model 2; I am very happy with this and have other things to spend my money on (such as my wife's Steinway!).The rest of my system is Platine Verdier, GT Audio Battery PSU for the PV, Tron Meteor tube pr... | |
| Avantgarde Trios, SETs, and Impedance Curves Dean,The Tron 300B is about 15-20k USD. The TEAD Linear A is about 8-9kUSDCharlie | |
| Avantgarde Trios, SETs, and Impedance Curves Dean,I presume if you're buying Trios, your budget isn't too tight. With their 107dB/W efficiency, the ampifiers will have to have minimal circuit noise, or else you'll hear it in the quiet passages of the music. Some of the amps which I know work... | |

| Decca Jubilee / Dynavector XV-1s / ZYX / Allaerts I currently use an Allaerts MC1B (on a Schroeder model 2/Platine Verdier) and I have heard the MC2 Finish on another Platine with Schroeder Reference. I also own a Decca Gold Garrott Brothers original (now very old indeed).The Allaerts MC1B is far... | |
| Please help - 3 top-of-mind choices for Avantgarde I use my Duos with Quad IIs (rebuilt by Graham Tricker at GT Audio in the UK) driven by a TRON Meteor preamp (now replaced by the Syren). I heard a massive change when I upgraded my pre from a Verdier Control B with valve regulated PSU to the TRON... | |
| Help - Verdier La Platin manual There's nothing to it.1. Drop the platter onto the spindle. Magnets should be prealigned if you have bought it secondhand. Drop some oil with the provided syringe into bearing - access via small allen grub screw on top of platter adjacent to spind... | |
| Help me make the best arm-cartridge matches Buy the Schroeder and Allaerts. I use mine on a Platine Verdier with GT Audio Battery PSU. I also have Deccas, albeit much older ones - an original Garrott Brothers Gold and a Maroon. The Allaerts MC1B just destroys my deccas - shame as I have bee... | |
| "Absolute best" used speaker for $8-10K Avantgarde Duos again - just spend some time setting them up properly - when done well, they're great, when done poorly, you'll wonder why you wasted 10k!! | |
| Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables? I have a PV with a Battery PSU made by GT Audio in the UK (www.gt-audio.com). Once set up, the only thing you have to do once in a while is top up the oil in the bearing through a tiny grub screw by the record spindle - easy job , takes two minute... | |
| What phono stage candidates should I consider? The TRON Seven will be available in the UK as well as the USA; the Phonote, which is a cheaper version will be UK only. I have Graham Tricker's personal demo Tron Meteor preamp (predecessor of the Syren, but with v similar circuits etc), as I have... |
