| Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring I’ve had two is Wayne’s heaviest weight rings — one for several years and would not buy again. I used with a Dr. Feickert Firebird TT. The TT has 3 motors for the platter. The improvement in sound is modest — if any. The ring is a hassle to mount ... | |
| New Outlets Lead to Better Sounding and Tasting Coffee Erik_Squires, the Mel Brooks crowd are proud to follow your data driven guidance. | |
| The 300B World The rectifier tube should be a consideration in 300B SET build. | |
| Reel to Reel Machine for 15 ips playback Consider a restored Studer A810 from http://www.reeltoreelhaven.com/ The Otari MX series are very nice, but the differences c/w Studer in sound, build, and transport are evident. It’s a B quality versus A quality comparison. | |
| What was the most impactful addition to your system? I’m happy for you Scott. You’re another verification that we are a community. | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes Consider a high quality single driver speaker like Voxativ, if you’re searching for musical speed and detail — especially with 300B driven SET. Zu audio can be driven nicely with a low power amplifier but offers more bass with its powered woofer. | |
| Vinyl - One Word - WOW!! As already mentioned by a colleague here, open RTR is so good that it is a new best analog experience for most of us — even gray beards like me. It is not inexpensive and as much of a pain as vinyl. But the reproduction quality explains why restor... | |

| They still seem to be a hot mess I do appreciate your perspectives. But do not understand how supply chain matters compromise your customer service. No call back to a customer — after multiple phone and email attempts — is contrary to best practices in business at stressful time... | |

| For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system. I’ve spent over $100K in ~15 years without regrets. My expensive and immersive experimentation was a joy. Sometimes I made good progress— sometimes I took a step back. Even if starting from scratch tomorrow, I’m still uncertain what I’d buy. There... | |
| GIK alternatives I’m smiling at your responsiveness and recovery. All due success. | |
| GIK alternatives I received a pair of wood ATS scatter plates that were custom stained. They are handsomely made. From order to delivery was < 2 weeks. Price was fair. Thank you for the recommendations everyone. It is hoped that GIKs founder/owner and original ... | |
| Speakers for string Quartets Consider a single driver speaker that is not a horn, e.g., Voxativ. This German speaker uses the cabinetry to drive bass notes, like a piano. It is acoustically designed using many of the principles of high end piano design.. Vox’s are high effici... | |
| GIK alternatives I direct my comments to Glenn as a longtime customer, retired C-suite executive of a Fortune 200, and b-school prof. Your explanation is greatly appreciated. Your candid ownership of the problem is of course the first step of crisis management. Th... |
