| MRA : Myth or Menace? Whatthe, can you share what RCM you presently use?Thanks, James | |
| Graham Supreme 10 inch mounting Thank you so much. I asked the question because I was not supplied with any protractor for my long arm. Your answer is very complete, much appreciated! | |
| Jean Nantais Reference Lenco Mk2 vs Mk3 With regards to the specific question of this post, let's remember that the main ingredient of the Reference Lenco MKIII is the Reference Lenco. The original Reference Lenco itself was deemed Upper Class A by Salvatore, equal to or superior in eve... | |
| don allen gen II pre amp vs. Maple tree 4se I have owned both and kept the Don Allen.It beat my Audionote L4 in terms of involvement and timbral accuracy and tonal completeness. The Mapletree was completely uninvolving. | |
| Jean Nantais Lenco Reference mk. ii user feedback The Nantais wheel, is just that: his own design. Not procured elsewhere, but designed and made here in Ontario. The idler wheel bearing is new, as well as the special rubber compound used for better grip. He also modifies the speed control mechani... | |
| Jean Nantais Lenco Reference mk. ii user feedback I have a MK2. The sonic improvements of the new idler wheel are significant, completely as advertised, ie not subtle. Perhaps as big as the bearing mod. Mine sits on an Adona-like stand on concrete. | |
| Phono pre direct to amp, what am I missing? He can also fit in his excellent stepped attenuator to his phono stage (which I also owned in the past) to provide you with the volume control you may need. | |
| Phono pre direct to amp, what am I missing? I run the Coincident Statement Phono directly into my monoblocks without issue. | |
| Coincident Statement Phono Preamp I have one. It is quite excellent and versatile. | |

| Stand out phono stages Coincident Statement Phono Stage. Astonishing!From an ex-owner of Aesthetix, Manley, K&K and Walker reference phono stages, to name a few. | |
| tonearm for Gerrard or Lenco idler wheel turntable I have heard Jean's latest Uber all-out effort that was commissioned by a prominent reviewer. It sports a Phantom 2 and sounded wonderful. | |
| Counterpoint SA-9 Yes, but only the Alta Vista modified version.I found it wanting in the lower spectrum compared to the IO.I recommend the current offering from Coincident as an interesting alternative, combining the best of both designs. | |
| Wyetech or Coincident Frankenstein IIs Coincident is far purer (less grit) and engaging. Sapphires have a SS-like edge artifact that is not appealing. I am an ex-Topaz monoblock and Onyx owner so am quite familiar with Roger's offerings. | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? I have a Basis Vector 3 on a Nantais Lenco. Works fine with a 103R too. |
