Metralla, the M designation in most business usage ralted to quantity designates 1000 and the MM designation represents 1,000,000. 
Reimer Wind River did not sell...
I have Reimer's Teton GS speakers which use the same drivers and ribbon tweeter as the Wind River except it is a larger speaker and utilizes 2 woofers. The sound of this speaker is incredibly life like. I replaced a pair of $10M name brand speaker... 
Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ?
I also would like to recommend the Reimer speakers. I have the Teton GS full range speakers and they sound incredibly good and are a tremendous value. 
Tube Preamps with Bass?
I have the Lamm LL2 and it has excellent bass that goes much deeper than the Hovland preamp it replaced. The images are very lifelike with this preamp. 
Suspended Basis vs Nonsuspended Teres
I have a Vibraplane under my Redpoint TT and it does make an excellent base for an unsuspended TT. I do think though that other less expensive base materials such as granite slabs can do a very good job. As far as unsuspended tables in general the... 
Has VPI quit supporting the HW series turntable ?
Just because they they decide to no longer manufacture the HW-19 series does not mean that they will no longer service them. I doubt very much that Harry Weisfeld would not want to service these turntables of which I imagine there are many thousan... 
Shelter + BentAudio loading: field test
After going back and forth between 36ohm and 50ohm I have settled on the 50ohm setting for my Shelter 901, Bent Audio, Trumpet combination . In my system the 36ohm seems to take too much of the leading edge transients out. The 50ohm setting is mor... 
Shelter + BentAudio loading: field test
Great post Doug and very timely. I too have the Shelter 901 and the Bent Audio transformers going into a 47ohm Trumpet phono. I currently have set to 100ohm and am now ready to start testing different resistors. I have made alot of changes to my s... 
Phonostage question ...
You may want to check out the Hagerman Trumpet phono with S&B transformer. The combination will run around $2800 and comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. This way you could do a direct comparison with the Rogue and return the Hagerman if ... 
TT drive belt comparison
Thought I would give you some of my observations on the mylar tape. I have been using a 1/2" mag tape shiny out on a Redpoint/Galibier battery powered moter controller and Testa Rosa TT with drilled aluminum platter, teflon top, and anvil weight. ... 
Lamm M1.1 hybrid comparisons to tube amps
Thanks for your response cytocycle. I am considering these to replace some high powered tube amps. I like the crystaline you are there mid range that tubes seem to offer. My speakers require an amplifier that controls the lower regions. My current... 
Any Hagerman Trumpet and Acoustech PHD owners?
I am using the copper S&B step-up. The transformers are the same but their are a few differences. The Bent stepup is housed in seperate enclosures for left and right channels. The feature I like with the Bent audio stepup is that he can provid... 
Any Hagerman Trumpet and Acoustech PHD owners?
I have the Hagerman trumpet and highly recommend it. From a sonics standpoint it is superb with exceptional dynamics. extended highs, and a wide open soundstage. The only real downside that one may have is that it is rather tall and will not fit i... 
Svetlana KT88 is good for Power 2?
Ilbiffo,I use the Svetlana KT88's in my power 3 se's and they sound very good. It is my understanding that the 6550 tube is in general a more reliable tube but the KT88 produces more power and has a somewhat warmer sound. I agree with Kevziek in t... 
Motor Options
Jim, you may want to email Thom Mackris at thom_mackris@hotmail.com he is the Colorado connection for Redpoint/Galibier. He designed the controller and would be able to let you know if theirs will work in your application. I have the controller an...
