| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner I have to agree with Rfogel. The Tri-Planar has great leading edge energy but listener fatigue is not from the Tri-Planar. IMHO, there is not a better value in a tonearm. It seems to get the most out of a wider range of carts than the Graham. I am... | |
| Soundsmith Strain Gage Cartridge system Hi Citizens, just got back from three days of listening to the Strain Gauge on several different table/arm/plinth/stylus combinations. In case anyone is unaware, there are five different styli available and you can change them in seconds. I have h... | |

| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Jim, not trying to speak for Chris at Teres but the replacement motor for the Garrard is much more compact than the Lenco or Garrard motor. There would be no reason for the Lenco replacement motor not to be as compact. It would let you cut out les... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Nouvelle Vague Bande A Part. Available on vinyl or CD. The Lp is recorded about as well as they come. The covers are enjoyable and Melane Pain's smokey voice is a delight. | |

To say Teres is half way there compared to the Lenco/other idlers shows your lack of understanding here. In fact,... | |
| Best amps for MBL101e's? Chris, I have the 111e's with 101e's on my wish list. I have tried a number of amps with the 111's. The best solid state amps I heard in my system were the 9011 MBL mono blocks. Very very nice but they just did not have that magic, lack of grain a... | |
| TW Acoustic Raven owners I was wondering about you and your cartridge situation this weekend Rick. It is a shame such a nice rig has to sit idle for so long. You paid the entry fee, hope you get into the show soon. | |
