| ADS L1290 Speakers I run L1290 MkII with a vintage HK 430 receiver, all of 25 watts and that's plenty. The combo sounds absurdly good. | |
| Any steel 14” to 16” speaker stands out there? Another +1 for Sound Anchor. Welded steel, sand filled, custom for you speakers, good price. I have 16-inch, four-posters for 95-lb PMC IB2i. The stands weigh around 80 pounds each, look good, and sound far superior to PMC's own stands. | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia II on what type of speaker platform? Nothing worked as well as the Herbie’s Audio Labs threaded Decoupling Gliders on the stand. My experience, too. I recently installed Herbie’s giant threaded gliders under my four-post Sound Anchor stands for PMC IB2i, which are 95 lb monitors. I’m... | |

| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers Hi lak, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I have PMC Ib2i with customer Sound Anchor four-post stands. I am curious whether the Gaia I would work there magic under stands. A call to IsoAcoustic wouldn't be a bad idea, though the cynic in me think... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Anyone know where I could audition the 9H in the SF Bay Area? The local dealers won't stock it. Too expensive, they say. In SF? Really? | |
| Why do these Zyx Fuji and Airy 3 have such a dark sound? I bought an Airy 3 maybe 10 years ago and sold it because it was too bright. Go figure. | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers Thanks, guys, this helps.Anyone use these under heavy speaker stands? Any reason they wouldn’t work there? | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers I’m thinking of putting Gaia I on Sound Anchors stands under PMC IB2i speakers, replacing stock spikes and Herbie’s glider cups. Can anyone tell me whether, once installed, they are easy to slide on a hardwood floor, or do they stick in place? I’d... | |
| How low of the cartridge output the Allnic H3000 can handle? Indeed, we ran with the Steelheads for a few years. Then you helped hook me onto the Allnic maybe 4 years ago. A whole 'nother fish and one that I've never wanted to throw back. So thanks again! Always good to read your helpful posts. | |
| VAC + Wilson Audio I paired Bryston 28B2 with a VAC Phi Beta preamp, which has a very similar circuit to yours, and it worked well. Ultimately, I found the Brystons too dry and replaced them with a VAC 300.1a, so I understand your plan. Sorry, I can't help with your... | |
| How low of the cartridge output the Allnic H3000 can handle? I’m whart’s evil twin and I use the GEC, too. My second fav is Brimar 5R4GY, then probably Amperex Holland Bugleboy 5AR4. | |
| How low of the cartridge output the Allnic H3000 can handle? The 40x SUT in the H3000 will run cartridges down to 0.1mV, provided they have a fairly low number for internal impedance, or DCR. I bought a Benz Ebony TR, tested at 0.14mV with 1-ohm DCR, specifically to take advantage of the Allnic’s design. It... | |
| Phono Protractor. Recommendations? Lewm, thanks for details. No, my positioning arm has no demarcations at all; it's just clear acrylic. I did buy the P2S tool when Daniel brought it out -- as I recall, he offered a special discount to UNI owners. It dovetails nicely with the UNI t... | |
| Phono Protractor. Recommendations? Is the SMARTractor more precise than the UNI-protractor? I ask because I have the UNI, and actually prefer my old Wallytractors. |
