| Verdier with Teres motor or else Mrdavidterry,The GTA Battery PSU is a super upgrade for the Platine and increases the dynamic range significantly - background noise disappears completely. The motor housing reduces vibration and audible noise from the motor (which is minimal gene... | |
| Verdier with Teres motor or else I haven't replaced my motor. However, I have bought a Battery PSU from GT Audio (www.gtaudio.com) in the UK, which has transformed the Platine. I think Galibier makes something similar in the US. If not, ask Graham Tricker at GT Audio in the UK (e... | |
| AC vs DC motor? I have a Platine Verdier, which I used originally with a standard AC supply - very good it was then. About a year ago, I bought a Battery PSU (GT Audio in the UK - www.gtaudio.com) supplying DC power to the motor, and this transformed the Platine ... | |
| Verdier with or without the steel ball I own a Platine Verdier with a Schroeder Model 2 and Allaerts MC1B. Mine was setup by the UK Verdier distributor (Graham Tricker from GT Audio). He never uses the steel ball, but makes sure that the oil reservoir is kept topped up from time to tim... | |
| Schroder: Model 2 or DPS? I own a carbon 2. The DPS is better and worth the money, but the model 2 is the best value arm. Like everything in life, you pays your money and takes your choice. | |
| Jan Allaerts Cartridge Experience? The MC1B is in many ways the best value cart in Jan's range (bit like the model 2 is Frank Schroeder's best value arm). I have had an MC1B for about two years and I'm very happy. I use mine on a Schroeder Model 2 and Platine Verdier with GT Audio ... | |
| Avantgarde..... Still a contender??? I agree with Tubes108. I own a pair of Duos in the UK (the version before the brand new omega drivers) and had them set up in my home by the UK distributor, Graham Tricker from GT Audio, as part of the after sales service. I run mine with Quad IIs... | |
| Verdier Graham and Shelter??? Dear Tenmus,I have Platine Verdier with a GT Audio Battery PSU (which transforms the PV to an even higher plane - similar to the Galibier PSU in the US). I have a Schroeder Model 2 (original carbon wand) and Allaerts MC1B, which works really well.... | |
| Verdier Graham and Shelter??? If you want a Schroeder Reference, try GT Audio (+44 1895 833099) in the UK (UK Schroeder distributor). He has an ex demo Reference for sale. | |
| 10k 300B single ended amp, what should I choose? Have a close look and listen at the Tron 300B Jubilate (www.tron-electric.com) distributed in the US by Highwater Sound. Tron is a tiny UK based manufacturer; the amps are designed and made by Graham Tricker, who is rated as one of the world's bes... | |
| Just got my Nak Dragon - Wow Well, I'm delighted that others are enjoying old fashioned technology still. I still use LP as my primary source. I don't think I'll be using the Dragon to archive my LPs yet. I really bought it to archive some old 35 year old R2R tapes that I fou... | |
| Just got my Nak Dragon - Wow Dear CwLondon,I don't have any secret master tapes; in fact I haven't even got round to doing any recording yet. (I will however be recording some old reel to reel tapes on my Revox G36 later when I have time). I've just started relistening to our... | |
| Schroeder arms: order of merit? Dear Lapaix,I use a Schroeder on my Platine Verdier, albeit the humble Model 2, which I bought about three years ago. I have heard the Reference and the DPS at Frank's UK distributor, GT Audio, but not in my own system. My personal comment would b... | |
| Schroeder Model - 2 Dear Clio09I bought my Model 2 about two years ago and so I have the original carbon wand. Mine is on a Platine Verdier with Allaerts MC1B. I'm delighted with mine. Unless I suddenly come into hods of cash for a Reference, I'll stick with this. I'... | |
| Two Tonearm Turntable: Need Suggestions I gather the Platine is now available with all three speeds. Graham Tricker (www.gtaudio.com) makes a Battery PSU for the Platine. I gather this is now available as a three speed model. |
