Bladelius Freja versus Marantz SA11
Is the Bladelius being brought into the USA now? I know Mikael Bladelius and deeply respect his designs. Last I heard, they were available only in the European market. 
nice turntable that plays 78s
Since many 78 RPM records are not actually 78 RPM, the Lenco thread here at Audiogon offer an opportunity to build a very inexpensive turntable that plays fours speeds and offers the operator the ability to infinitely vary each of those speeds.htt... 
Low priced giant killers
I heard the Silverline 60 from Kirksaeter at CES two years ago and was impressed by their lack of distortion, low bass output and huge soundstage, particularly considering their tiny size. Suggested retail is $849.00 and many times I wish I had ta... 
BAT vs. Quicksilver
Although both are excellent products, I would probably choose the Quicksilver because of it's ability to accept a wide range of tubes. The BAT VK-60 is capable of running ONLY the 6C33C output tube (which I dislike) and the Quicksilver is capable ... 
Has anybody Cryo'd their complete amp-results?
Personally I would not do it. Too many parts that might be damaged by the super low temperature. Plus, my personal experience with cryo treating transformers, although eventuality positive, means waiting FOREVER to achieve complete break in.You co... 
Review: Walker Audio Proscenium Gold Signature Turntable
Hey guys, I'm not J. Gordon Holt, I promise :^). The hold up is making sure the crossover is right before putting it into my system.The guy building my crossover called Tuesday and told me the circuit needed a very high transconductance 9 pin mini... 
Aesthetix IO mark 2-which upgrade first?
In my opinion the Signature is a more important upgrade sonically than the second supply. 
Any Warp correction LP services available ?
G_m_c, that might work. I remember as a child leaving a record in the back of my fathers car for an afternoon. It looked like wavy potato chip when I retrieved it. 
How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb?
B.I.zeebub, what the devil are you doing here ? One thing I always wondered about, what amp and preamp do you prefer?One of my friends guessed BAT, because it goes like a BAT out of hell. Another said CAT because it runs like a scorched CAT.My gue... 
Any Warp correction LP services available ?
Sorry Sirspeedy, no relief from the heat here. I'm in Texas and right now, although we are nearing the midnight hour, it's still 83 degrees. By the way, the LP flattener is a product of the Air Tight people, the guys that built my cool ATM-3 mono ... 
Looking for modern day Mod Squad tonearm tweak.
This item from Cardas Audio does the job. It's a great product and very easy on the eye. Phono Box 
Any Warp correction LP services available ?
Here's one big enough for an LP and so far, going for less than a hundred bucks. Seal Press 
Any Warp correction LP services available ?
Sirspeedy. I agree and why I suggested the Seal press idea. Assuming 10 or more people pooled their funds for that 2K record press, each would have invested an amount EQUAL to what they could own a Seal press for. Owning would be easier than borro... 
Any Warp correction LP services available ?
Just looked around the web and found this. Perfect Seal brand press for $400.00.http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/tls/75533013.htmlProbably find one for $150.00 at Ebay. THAT I could afford and justify. Anyone know if the stated temperature range... 
Any Warp correction LP services available ?
I'll probably get in trouble mentioning this, but I would love to get one of those Seal brand presses used to mount photographs to mat board. These had adjustment for pressure and temperature. I'll bet since everything in photography has gone digi...
