Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths
Just to clarify and in fairness to reviewers, reviews, designers and enthusiasts and maybe balance the scales a bit.1.A Low priced system [ 2500-10000 used prices]of "bang for your buck components" put carefully together and that find a special sy...

***I truly am enthusiastic about hifi, components, the material sciences involved and like you rightly say, the pleasure in the pursuit of attaining an ideal... not simply "arriving"***Actually, I lied...It would be so nice to..."just arrive" forg...

Lewn,As to your first paragraph. I'm not waiting for a scientific definition of perfection. I simply (calmly) am saying to help those who were like me, naive and gullible (believing the hype in marketing/reviews) that there was such a thing as a s...

Lewn,I think this better illustrates what i'm trying to get across. Simon yorke s10 designer, a stereophile interview(taken from a review of one of his tables:***I questioned Yorke about the laminate; he told me defiantly that "I have a box as big... 
Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths
Lewn,I think its just that i have a very high standard of what i expect a "hi end stereo" to do. For some of the prices some have shelled out here you would think their sound would be absolutely amazing, yet the casual listener probably would not ...

I think it is difficult to predict the sonic outcome solely on the basis of the plinth material alone.Here's why:Because a stereo system is a matrix of ..."systems, within a system" each having their own contributing tone and resonance qualities a... 
Are the better $$$ 845 tubes worth it sonically??
Kr845's need to be used in the right amp. You cant just automaticly put it in any 845 amp. Once you get that ok'd, i found it very, very good. Easily betters the 845b and 845m. A much more sophisticated tube sonically. Some of the kr reliability i... 
Best 845 tube out there?
I have the audion elite 3 box and have the 845b, shuguang 845m and just recently the kr845. Overall in the context of the rest of my system the kr845's are the winner. I prefer the b over the m too because i find it more "beautiful" in the midrang... 
Schroder sq and the new talea
What can we make of posts on the web in various forums that the "schroder is a world class arm but nevertheless i preferred the talea?" i wonder if someone out there preferred his schroder? I'm this is the case. or is it? 
The merits of slate plinths or not
Thanks guys for all the thoughtful responses. I put alot of effort into building my player. I am very pleased with its look. I prefer keeping the original top plate because i enjoy the black lenco78 chassis top plates looks sitting atop a honeysta... 
The merits of slate plinths or not
Yeah, I have read in lencoheaven how some preferred their new slate plinths over their birch ply plinths but i guess i'm a little bit skeptical about how or why people come to the conclusions they do without any good test methods/ reasoning behind... 
jan Allaerts cartridges mc1b
Thanks guys. I did speak to Jan and he recommends to use arm tubes for 9 -15 gram mass cartridges. This cartridge is 10 grams. 
Phono stages belong to which tier?
I think it is fair to say that my opinion that no one item should be should be deemed less important than the other is uncommon and probably will fall into a minority group but i still maintain it. I can see how one component that is physically la... 
Phono stages belong to which tier?
If one is serious about the goal of having a hi fidelity, high performance, transparent system no component or part should be underestimated or given more or less importance in its contribution to the final experience you have at your listening ch...
