| How to reduce the friction in the bearing I spoke to Oracle. They tell me that the teflon in the bearing gets bigger with time. This means that the gap in the bearing gets smaller and makes the platter not move freely.They suggest sending the bearing back and have them remove excess teflo... | |
| How to reduce the friction in the bearing I bought it new in 1986 from Oracle. However, as I tried to set it up in 1991 first time, the motor broke in the first 10 hours. Oracle refused to service under warranty. Back in the box. Just got an origin live motor. Now the bearing seems tight.... | |
| How to pick which brand of 6550 tubes to purchase Thanks everyone. Particulary the recent article comparing 6550's sound interesting. My guess is that I have 1,000 to 2,000 hours after 20 years. I did not count. Recently listening as much as 10 hours per month. My voltages are very high 620 Volt.... | |
| High resolultion cd player My thinking is you need a new generation of techology. I purchased a Sony SCD-555ES SACD player. Great on SACD and good for redbook CD. Beats my Rega Planet (original). Head phone amp is built-in when you want to listen to the fine detail. | |
| Great Jazz SACDs Thanks everyone. I bought a few this week. Tried Kind of Blue by Miles Davis. Compared to my Vinyl record. Vinyl beat the sound hands-down. Bought Pink Ployd DSOTM. Vinyl better.Bought two Diana Krall. Very happy. Sound good.My sense is that it is... | |
| Use a gDVD/CD player as transport with a good DAC? Great everyone. Thanks for your help. I guess this was not a silver bullet. I am looking for one so if you have one let me know. In the meantime, I will continue my chase for perfect reproduction looking for used Theta and EAD gear. I certainly be... | |
| Best turntable for Eminent Technology arm Thanks everyone for your response. I wish I could afford a Rockport Sirius myself. I will continue to dream. In the meantime I will probably stay with the Oracle. Thanks everyone. | |
| Lenco Turntables? any info, opinions, thoughts? My good friend in the late 60's bought a L75. It was Ok, but nothing spectacular. Probably on par with some of the cheap Dual turntables. I believe the turntable rotated by a couple of rubber wheels that moved the platter, ie. no belt or similar. ... | |
| Kenwood KT-1000 Tuner Sean.This is the best info I have ever received to an inquiry on Audiogon. You are incredible. | |
| Hum problem with Alpha Goertz Sapphire cable - RCA type Thank you so much for info. I believe you guys are right.Let me give some more info - The first pair of Sapphire that was shipped was so poorly assembled that one channel faded in and out. This is the second pair. Based on your experience I start ... | |
| Anyone heard of lumley tube amps?? I have a pair of M-100s. Bought them from Ray Lumley in 1984. Lumley and Grant were together first and produced the Grant Lumley amp. After the split Grant made the Grant amp and Ray produced the Lumley. Sweet tube sound.They were in business unti... | |
| Are Tuners - Audiophile quality Thank you everyone. I do not feel as stupid as I did when I posted it. I have had my tuner connected to my big TV antenna, 30 feet above the roof. The TV antenna did not make any improvement. Sounds like rabbit ears. I live close to downtown Washi... | |
| Are Tuners - Audiophile quality Continued - equally bad. My tuner produces the sound of a $ 100 turntable (including arm and cartridge) and less than any CD on the market. Does anyone know if you can get "audiophile quality" from a tuner. Any recommendation of a tuner that produ... | |
| Stacking power amps mono blocks Thank you. I am starting to get convinced. Need to run to look for amp-stands for my mono blocks.Cheers. | |
| Spade termination on speaker Thanks everyone. Learned a lot. In the end figured out that I had some combined banana plugs for the speakers that allow to screw the spade into the top of the connector. The unit is brass and from a company called Mitchell. I bought them 15 years... |
