Graham Phantom vs Triplaner
D, My bad. I was looking for a title reading 312S review. I mostly just look at the pictures anyway...Thomas, I hope I had nothing to do with your whining. For some reason everybody was in a very special mood this year. I had the best time in many...

D, These guys must have been on herron. HA! There I go, cracking myself up again. The improvement has to be huge, judging by the way these two were carrying on. They weren't working or showing product. They were over the moon showing everybody som... 
Graham Phantom vs Triplaner
Right on Larry. The time I spent with AJ this year was a hoot! BTW, he owns a company called Basis. He makes turntables. VERY good turntables. SOTA, even. Logic dictates, his Vector follows suit. Couldn't agree more on the "best" issue, ( I quote ...

D, Harry is one of this industries true characters. Loves hi-fi. Loves to make stuff. I am actually a bit concerned that retirement looms. I could be wrong, since for the first time in a long time, VPI was present at a show. Sheila was manning a l...

Larry, Yes, Mr Wilson puts the stuff out there. He can afford it. Or can't afford not to. Mr Mai cannot afford to give or loan. Yes, it is probably the most idiot proof design out there, works with anything, and does not cost the moon. Sounds like...

D, I forget which room I saw the rim in, but the two guys sharing the room were giggling like little school girls. Just loved the thing. These two guys probably made/make more VPI converts than VPI dealers! I have several "highlight" memories from... 
Graham Phantom vs Triplaner
Guys, I have spent alot of time with Mr Mai. He seems to have a reason for the trade offs he takes to make his price point. He has the engineering, design, and manufacturing experience to be placed (by others) at the pinnacle of a select group. Mo...

Swampy, Rather than have you think I am a xe... big words... Since it is you who hasn't been reading, let me quote someone with more credibility than I. This gentleman speaks (spoke) to the crux of this thread: "He, who will not reason, is a bigot...

Not bad Sir, not bad. One must hear live music, however. One must. Playing, better yet. Wouldn't hurt to see how much anything reinforced just the tiniest bit is compressed, gated, distorted (deliberately) and otherwise messed with. Reproducing TH...

Mr Mai does not give or loan tonearms. There were so many at CES this and every year because the people in this business want the very best to demo their product. They pick Triplanar. With their wallets! Z.

Downunder, I know you were away, you missed some entertaining stuff. I too have gennies, plus a Mastersound half speed or two. This new one is way good. I had to open another sealed original to check in with myself. There is info on the new one I ... 
Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms
Downunder, Are you one of the very few lucky listeners to have purchased the MJ Thriller reissue? I would recommend this to everyone but with production so limited, there can only be so many winners here! HA! I crack myself up sometimes... Hey, ha...

Sir, Speakers truly are a subjective matter. As you can see, I just sold a pair of 20 year old speakers that I liked VERY much. There is old and then there is old; I had ADS speakers in my CAR (!) 20 years ago! The brand had, by this time become o...

Mr. D, Let me have some fun! My taste is all over the map. Good production = heavy rotation at the Z house. Mr Halcro, I believe Rega owned several price points in the past. They are a price point line. The prime reason I think Acoustic Solid is u... 
Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms
Gidday Mate! Yeah, I had to let that one go... Mr Halcro has helped me too much. The Linn should be night and day to the 3. Mr. Halcro waits for the one he can hit out of the park. The new rig will be the last, I bet. And there's NO WAY anybody go...
