| avantgarde uno & duo Justubes--hi. Every speaker ever made is colored. If this was not so, many of us would have sound in our homes identical to the concert stage. Like probably every other high performance speaker at their level, the Avantgardes require careful atten... | |
| Upgrade for Magnum Dynalab FT101A Remember FMS, an interconnect & speaker cable company? Many years ago there was mention in TAS & maybe Stereophile that FMS had an excellent upgrade for the 101a. I had this upgrade done on my 101a, probably in the late 1980s or early 1990... | |
| Old Janszen E-stats sound very good Surprisingly after many years ZansZen is back in business. See their website, and read about them in a recent Stereophile article. | |
| Who can tell me the sizes of a Basis Debut MK-5 ? Sirspeedy--Amen brother.PS. I never liked the Forsell even when heard in the importer's mega-expensive system. The Walker I heard but not for any length of time. Obviously it was quite good, though the owner tweaked it constantly-as in at the end ... | |
| Who can tell me the sizes of a Basis Debut MK-5 ? Albert. Hi. FYI: I used the Air Tangent that bettered the 10B & I think came out after the 10B--but I always forget the model number. Previously used the 2B along with its quite nice electronic end of record lift. Sure miss that. I've used var... | |
| Who can tell me the sizes of a Basis Debut MK-5 ? Hello Colibri. Happy to post measurements upon my return home on 8/26. Note the size of the Gold Vacuum is the same as the Debut MK V.My experience differs from Alberts. I sold my Debut Gold IV in order to purchase a Debut Mk V Vacuum. Although t... | |
| anyone gone from the Graham 2.2 to vecteur arm ? I have read threads (I think) here and on Audio Asylum where people who went from the Graham to the Vector provided feedback. Maybe try a search at both sites for the Vector. | |
| Slight buzz on Quad ESL-63.. Hi. Nice speakers. If this issue continues, it could indicate a panel problem. If you are in USA and need repairs, there are 2 companies that provide exceptional service. On the east coast, check out QS&D @ 540/372-3711. The other company is i... | |
| Indian Sitar Stuff Hey Restock. EMI vinyl from India generally is quite good. I am curious where your in-laws are from in India??? If you are going to India and are near Bombay (and a few other spots), the music scene is quite active, especially in the winter. You c... | |
| BAT vs. Quicksilver Hey Marco. On paper you are correct about doubling power results in a 3 db increase in sound. But there are no standards in rating power in amps; and keep in mind that this non-standardized spec is derived under laboratory conditions. Other factor... | |
| BAT vs. Quicksilver I have never used the Bat amps, but have owned Quicksilver gear and can speak a little bit about the company. My amplifier experience was with Quicksilver' first amp, the MX-190. This amp was in the 160 watt range, big chassis, had a cult followin... | |
| Vector tonearm and static issue? Dan_ed, sounds like you are having a damn good time--way to go. Enjoy! | |
| Vector tonearm and static issue? Hey Dan_edYo; questions are a good thing ask away. The AirTangent required a very stable turntable. The Basis Debut filled that requirement perfectly with its very effective oil-damped spring suspension. Another benefit of this suspension is that ... | |
| Vector tonearm and static issue? Hi SirSpeedy. That's interesting about your friend. Wonder what ergonomic issues would force such a move. In my case, I've heard a variety of arms in various sytems and never had a desire to move on from the AT. I loved the AT; hey some of the AT ... | |
| Vector tonearm and static issue? Hey Dan. Happy you've made so much progress solving this problem. I agree with your "love for the sound produced" by the Vector. As I was a happy AirTangent owner (used 2 diff AT arms over many yrs), it took a lot to convince me to leave that plat... |
