US Customs fees. What should I expect ? I have ordered 3 pieces from Yamamoto Soundcraft in Japan over the last 5 years, the first one costing $900.00 was never taxed the second costing $2800.00 was never taxed the third costing $1650.00 was taxed at what looks to be just short of 2% an... | |
Your ship just came in! time to buy new gear..? So sorry to hear about your aunt and uncle, that was terrible. | |
Preamps with separate L/R volume controls My Lamm LL2.1 Deluxe does. | |
What was your favorite musical artist best album? Randy Newmans/Good Old Boys, Susan Tedeschi/Just Won't Burn | |
Your favorite male soul voices Have to add Steve Marriott, just listen to Black Coffee off of the Eat It album. And absolutely Delbert McClinton. | |
Bubbles And The Sh*trockers Love Bubbles, the best of The Trailer Park boys, his playing might even make Julian set his drink down. | |
Anyone use a cartridge demagnetizer? I still use mine every 50 hours or so on all my moving coils, also use the degassing section of my Cardas album every few months or so. I have never had any negative effects with either of these, do I hear a difference after their use, hard to say... | |
Mint LP provides Stevenson Alignment @noromance, yes. @flatblackround, a protractor is the tool you use to set your cartridge up on the tables arm for optimum results. | |
Do you use VPI Anti-skating? I dress the cables for anti skate with my 3D arm but do use the hanging weight method when I use the metal arms. | |
Help with phono amp upgrade Even if the tubes are a little beat down, I believe Allnic is giving away a new set of NOS tubes for them as they did for the H1200 when the 1201 replaced it. Contact your dealer/distributor. Like Inna, I have never seen that phono go for anything... | |
WHAT TURNTABLE? The VPI Prime with the uni pivot 3D arm would be my choice, hard to beat for the money, as a matter of fact I have one in my main system with SDS, SMFA, Periferal ring and Stillpoints LPS record clamp running a ZYX Universe and it sounds heavenly. | |
Help with phono amp upgrade You will never know what a great phono stage the Allnic 1201 is until you replace that turntable. If your dealer sold you the Allnic for $1,000.00 you should absolutely give him a shot at your business on a new table, keep your cart till you get t... | |
Help with phono amp upgrade Just received a new phono stage for my headphone set up that I use in my home office in which I just added a turntable to, an Aural Thrills Serenade tube phono stage hand built in the Dallas Texas area for $900.00, it is MM and MC with loading opt... | |
Looking for a new (used) phono preamp to replace EAR834 There is a used, current model, Herron for sale here now for a little over your budget and a brand new Allnic H1500 for sale also for $3,500.00. The Allnic is a steal at that price. | |
Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? While we are on the subject, give the Train redue of Led Zeppelin II a listen, it was recorded live I believe and all money donated to a charity that they chose. Never was a Train fan prior to me getting this LP but I have to appreciate their talent. |
