| Audio Research Mark 1or 2, Super Tubes or rolling? The "super tubes" cannot be "rolled" and to some are more "neutral".There are some "very neutral" NOS tubes that can be used.One gives you an option to "tailor",the other does not. | |
| Late-80's Philips CD Player Disc Errors The earlier "drives" were set-up to play a certain length CD.The "newer" CDs have a longer playing/encoded information time,over 82minutes.My friends' Forsell had the same problem and this was the stated reason ( by Forsell no less). | |
| Allaerts down-repair or ?? I sent a copy of the invoice to Allaerts,in a JPEG file.The dealer did not have the serial number listed on the receipt,but I took that off the box it came in.That is how JA gave me a manufacturing date of 2003. | |
| Allaerts down-repair or ?? I have decided to tear apart the phono system and re-examine each part of this equation.When I put the cartridge back in,I want to know that each part is up to spec.That way if there is a problem,I know where to look to diagnose. I have received a... | |

| Allaerts down-repair or ?? I have sent the cartridge to "The Soundsmith" to be evaluated.Upon determination of the problem,it will be forwarded to Allaerts for repair/re-build.Jan Allaerts has contacted me,after sending an e-mail.He stated that the cartridge was built in 20... | |
| Allaerts down-repair or ?? I have thoroughly enjoyed this cartridge,though it looks like I may need another,while this one is re-built/repaired.Am considering the Soundsmith "Voice" as the interum contender w/o over-spending.It sounds like an interesting cartridge.Can anyon... | |
| Upgrading Frontend in 2009: Which way to go? The Gamut CD-3 should be on your audition list.These come up used from time-to-time in that price range.Much improved over the original CD-1s,and those were no slouches-just under built and can be unreliable.Gamut is now under new ownership and in... | |
