| Audiophile Vacations I am unfamiliar with the Borreson brand. For Basis, I am aware only of the Basis dealers I have dealt with. Those are American Sound of Canada, also called Angie's Audio Corner, located in a Toronto suburb and Goodwin's High End located in Wa... | |

| The very best sound: Direct to Disc Interesting about Amanda McBroom who's been mentioned frequently in this thread. I was surprised to see she had a role in an old Mash episode I saw on TV some time ago. A most talented person. | |
| Melos MA-222 No idea what a Skizmo is but that is a catchy name. I have an owner's manual. Don't have a schematic nor a service manual. | |
| Basis Audio Super Platter Jwm: That appears to be a fantastic room you have for audio! The best place to answer your question per the Super Platter on a Debut is direct to Basis Audio. Following up on tomic601's post about a west coast contact, for those near the east coas... | |

| A.J. Conti of Basis Audio has passed away. Hello Jeff. I agree A.J. will be missed and he will be missed on multiple levels bigtime. I liked your mention of precise knowledge as precise and precision indeed and in part defined him and the wonderful turntables and tonearms he produced. Per... | |

Per a request I'm waiting for someone to reply to my challenge to come up with "my ulterior motives" that make more sense than the f... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Per Atmasphere components. Posting in a public forum personal correspondence demonstrates Ralph's lack of integrity. Regardless, the time to be proactive was when I owned the gear, not now after the fact. I've previously addressed satisfactorily t... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Howdy Audiolabyrinth, thank you kindly for your comments. Per your comparison. Amps & preamps are quite diff from cars. Cars rarely are tested after they've been produced: big production numbers with limited testing results in some lemons. Amp... | |
| Music loving friend needs help -- thanks Thank you to all who responded. Czarivey: Regarding your Iphone mention. Do you mean there's a simple way for an Iphone to use voice commands to control a music server? Or do you refer to something else? If controlling servers, is this plug'n'pay ... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Re. Atma-sphere. Charles, your posts are well thought out and valued.

| What are these vintage speakers? Al, you are 100% correct. Thanks for taking the time to find the answer. My 1st guess was Altec's. I found photos of Valencias which were similar though had visual differences from the speakers in the photo. I would never have thought to add Heat... |
