| Where to start?? Interesting. String: Which Cardas did you try? Bobby P. of Merlin recommends both the Cardas Golden Reference and the Audience AU24, the latter being a more budget solution. So far, he hasn't steered me wrong. | |
| Newbie amp help......why? If you want to limit the number of boxes you're playing with, I'd recommend a good integrated amp that combines both amp and preamp. You can get a good used solid state integrated amp, such as a Naim Nait, for under 1K. The advantage of a good sol... | |
| Anybody familiar with Maple Shade Audio Tuner Work I just purchased one of their tuner mods. It's the one with the multiplex. It has a lot of breaking in to go through still, but at this point it sounds absolutely incredible. I'm shocked. I just recently had a Marantz 10B in my system and this blo... | |
| Audio Dealers in Greater Portland OR Area I just want to put a plug in for Echo Audio in downtown Portland. Kurt is a friendly, knowledgeable guy who has gone out of his way on several occasions to help me out. The store sells mostly pre-owned gear, but he does carry some new lines. The w... | |
| Have you heard the latest Merlin VSM-MXe speakers? Since this is sort of a "Review of the Merlins" thread, I thought I'd add my two cents. This is offered as nothing other than the musings of one satisfied customer. I have no connection to the manufacturer, other that a few phone conversations and... | |
| Review: Ars Sonum Filarmonia SE Tube amp I've just placed my order for the Filarmonia. I also have Merlin VSM-MM's upgraded to no-lead, super-BAM status.Anyone have a synergistic phono preamp recommendation (under $3,000 used) that can handle a lower output MC cartridge (0.5 mV)? | |
| Audio Dealers in Greater Portland OR Area Unfortunately, I feel the same way about Fred's. The only guy who is even a little friendly is one of the technicians. Every salesman I've dealt with has that smug, superior attitude that most audiophiles I know can't stand. I think that attitude ... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Here's an idler assembly question. There are these little washers that slip onto the bar that holds the idler wheel. My first question is, are there supposed to be two of them, one on the inside and one on the outside? I have two assemblies and I'... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Thanks for posting that, Gp49. It sounds like a lot of work, but I've gotten this far, I'm sure that I'll be able to figure it all out. I've learned to trust the Lenco experts. Hearing is believing. | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Thanks. It's metal and I have a spare, so I sent it to a shop in Mississippi that does resurfacing for a very affordable price.I've spoken to a few machine shops in Portland and none of them seem to be able to polish my bearing well and spindle. A... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi All. My new Shelter 5000 cartridge arrived last week and after about 25 hours is starting to make some real music. Unfortunately, I'm experiencing a lot of sub-sonic rumble. I can tell that part of it is coming from the bearing and I think some... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Okay Mario. I gone and done it. (Sorry...Listening to EmmyLou Harris) | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Mario, what do you mean by a "system thread?" | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II My Lenco is finished! All I can say to anyone contemplating this project is, "Just do it!" and "Run, don't walk!"It's taken me about two weeks of obsessive tweakage, burn-in of tonearm wire, etc., but the results are absolutely glorious. Frankly, ... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Wondering if anyone can offer some advice. It seems that I have a European model Lenco 75 that I've been working with. The motor has these red jumper wires. Is there anything I can do to make this motor compatible with US mains or am I out of luck... |
