| Levinson 27.5 The 27.5 comes from the golden age of Mark Levinson. Well built, under specÂd (not like the 300 series) and very musical. Some describe the 23.5 and 27.5 sound as dark, but that was mostly attributed to the earlier 23/27 series. I am not familiar... | |
| Can good IC's be used instead of dedicated phono's A lot of the higher end phono cables use the same cable construction as their analogue cables with the exception of an external grounding wire and phono DIN connector (if applicable).If your table has rca outputs, just give your cable a try and ma... | |
| How Does Gold Wire Handle? Why don't you buy 300 grams of gold and make a cable your self?From a DIY perspective, I would say that would be almost impossible to do. | |
| VPI Classic hum The latest versions of the Classic tables now have the motor mounted at the rear of the table and farther away from the cartridge. Perhaps this helps with some motor/cartridge hum interaction. | |
| Audio Research cd8 production date 2008, it must be from the first production run. | |
| How Does Gold Wire Handle? Why dont any of the big cable companies use pure gold as their conductors in their top line?24k is solid gold, but far from pure. Can you get 6N pure gold? | |
| AMG Turntable size Don't forget to take into account the counter weight overhang over the plinth. Give yourself a minimum 2 inches around the entire table. If you design it too precise, then you will be forced to lift the dust cover straight up with little error. To... | |

| Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ? Not sure that the Q3 and the 211 based Dragons would be the best combination. I've never heard the Q3, but with a nominal impedance of 5ohm with dips into the low 2's, it may present a challenge for Dragon which doesnt even have a 4ohm output tap. | |
| 25 year warranty – thoughts invited Jmcgrogan2, or should I call you Sherlock, you are correct, Bigaitch is Howard Popeck, owner of LFD4U.Howard, a dealer disclaimer is required. http://lfd4u.com/where-did-stereonow-go/ | |
| 25 year warranty – thoughts invited So BRF - it seems you want massive discount PLUS 25 year warranty. Are you serious? How long would such a retailer stay in business if adopting your approach?Read my post again…. what I am saying is that I wouldn’t pay extra for a 25-year warrant... | |
| 25 year warranty – thoughts invited It’s not LFD audio who are offering the 25 year warranty. It’s their (apparently) principal retailer LFD4U doing this.I like having options, but I wouldn’t pay extra for an extended warrantee from a third party online retailer who has no skin in ... | |
| Test LP's Worth it? The Mint LP Protractor is designed for a specific tone arm i.e. Spindle to pivot distance. For azimuth, instead of using a metal rod like VPI provides, I use a 6inch length of raw spaghetti. It is nice and straight and light. Once the cartridge he... | |
| Anti static guns Many Zerostat owners use the device incorrectly by pulling and releasing the trigger too fast. If you hear any clicking sound when depressing or releasing the trigger, you are pulling/releasing too fast. |
