| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? FWIW, the stone bodied Koetsus work well with the Kuzma Airline- it doesn’t have high vertical mass, but the horizontal mass is considerable (this, notwithstanding Franc’s claim that the air bearing is frictionless and makes that irrelevant for mo... | |
| Avantgarde modifications? Let me offer you what I know, which may not answer your question. Mapleshade made a few heavy duty frames for the Duo back in the day to accomplish two things; rigidity and the ability to separate the horns from the integrated woofer. There weren’... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac- I don’t think @mijostyn is asking for a lifetime warranty. I’ve had stuff happen over the years with product defects. The ideal response would be-- gee, that’s too bad. Would you mind sending it to us for inspection-- and if the distribut... | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? @mulveling- well done. | |
| Not your run-of-the-mill, used spinner. @tablejockey - I think Graham was the original US distributor for Tech Das which would explain why his arm was on many. My recollection is that the distribution arrangement changed, a year or more ago? | |
| Not your run-of-the-mill, used spinner. @tablejockey - you don’t see many of those used, but in the Tech Das line, I think the AF 3 Premium may be the sweet spot. I use a big Minus K under my Kuzma XL and it does a very good job isolating footfalls in an old Victorian house. At the pri... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum J Carr's input is invaluable. Talk to Steve about this and see if he can address it. The question of warranty duration remains: is it the manufacturer or the regional distributor? | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @Mijostyn-sorry to hear this. I'll also echo the use of Steve Leung- he's good and his turn-around time is usually really fast. I would call him first and talk to him about the issue and see how busy he is. Peter L. is great- I had him replace the... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? Oops. Edit function prompts the "You Must Verify" drop down. | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? I got the prompt, verify phone and update password. Seems to work fine. The last thing some idiot is gonna do on a home break in is grab a heavy piece of hi-fi gear. Plus I now live in Texas. I'll say no more. :) | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Sorry, Il Dottore, I am a copyright lawyer, not a patent lawyer. Yes, I can read a patent, but do not profess any expertise in the area. There were a few long time members here that did have patent expertise- I think Fred Crowder was one. My mai... | |
| Better Records vs MoFi Record prices, even without Better Records or MoFi, are inflated. To me, those enterprises are two different things. I never doubted that sample to sample variations, even with the same dead wax inscriptions, could sound different. I was a MoFi ... | |
| Dust Removal I would start by trying to solve the problem of dust entering- that might be sealing windows with appropriate materials and looking at other places where dust or detritus enters the residence. I am now in an 1880's wooden house that is tight as he... | |
| Best place to live for good quality power In my experience, it is a hit or miss proposition. I think you have to start with a serious audit of the power coming into your playback room. I live in a single family house. I had the meter pulled, made sure there was no corrosion (it's a 2004 r... | |
| Anyone See Downside to an Ionizer blowing on Turntable? Look for the source of your static. Are you playing records on carpet with socks- huge cause. Once my records are cleaned, no static charge. I work and play in bare feet. There are ways to discharge static on a record, but my suggestion is to figu... |
