| Charge for TT setup? The OP's dealer is either begging to go out of business or agorant enough to think he's the only vpi source. Doesn't a 40% profit margin mean you are supposed to receive value for that money? Isn't the argument that brick and mortar stores is that... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Hats off to Almarg- Brook is a great inclusion. I completely forgot about Brook, even though a pair of Ohm F's (Walsh drivers) are sitting in my home waiting for restoration or a new home | |
| Charge for TT setup? This dealer is making over $2k profit on the table. He's being a chazer. And you knw what they say about pigs? They get slaughtered. In the county where I live there no longer are any hifi dealers. We had one- carried excellent gear too. But he ni... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers CAL, Dual, Tandberg (well, though they still exist, they left the hifi business), Empire | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers I'll mention a few others-AR, Kloss, Allison, EPI | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers What, no one laments Electrophonic? | |
| Frequencies addresses by power cords? AC in the US from the wall socket is delivered at 60 hz. | |
| XLR or RCA? My experience has been that if the equipment is fully differential, properly implemented, an XLR cable is a real bonus as the cable is sonically transparent. I've run some very good RCA cables, and in one application where the output of the source... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale The last comment is on the mark. I bought my LP 12 16 years ago from a small retailer who is still in business. His store is even smaller now, and he's also 16 years older. At some point he's going to retire and then the store will be gone. What t... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale I will second the notion that LP 12 upgrades are costly. My LP 12 is basically year 2000 top spec. As much as I would like a Keel at its price it's not happening. If I thought I was going to put serious $ into a table, I can understand the idea of... | |
| CJ 17LS/LS2 vs AI M3A I've owned the 17 LS2 and the MV 60 SE. The 17LS2 is superb. However I grew tired of the 17 LS2 with the MV60SE. Not incisive enough, a little too syrupy. Never heard the AI Pre. While I sold both, I believe the 17LS2 is a better Pre than the MV60... | |
| CAL ICON MKII CD player replacement I owned a CAL Icon Power Boss. CD has come a long way since the days of the Icon. You can buy a Rega Apollo for under $500. It's got the big boned sound you are looking for. It's a fun player to listen to. | |
| TT Power Cord Yes, spending serious $ on a TT power cord is a total waste of $. The AC coming into the TT to drive the motor never gets rectified into an audio signal. | |
| Speaker cable made you say: I swapped out a set of Nordost Super Flatline II and replaced them with Analysis Plus Oval 9's. The Nordost, true to its reputation, is somewhat light in the low end. | |
| Balanced Cables for McIntosh / Wadia I gotta tell you, Mogami Neglex Gold is cheap and first rate. I have a 6 foot pair that cost under $100. |
