| Don't you just hate it when--- Anyone considering an Apollo would be wise to contact Lloyd Walker about platter bearing replacement cost, whenever needed, as it is likely to be prohibitive. As far as I know he is the only person who could provide it. I know someone with a very ... | |
| Soundlab speakers with sub woofers? Mrmb heard the MA-1s and MA-2s here on the U-1PXs several months ago in our large custom designed, acoustically symmetric room. Since that time the speaker positioning has been improved, yielding better imaging and mid bass, along with a significa... | |
| AMR DP 777 or LampizatOr Level 5 A final preproduction AMR DP-777 SE was shown at RMAF at their booth in the canjam area. I understand the SE should be available in November, as well as the upgrades for existing DP-777s. | |
| RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss Mapman, yes, AudioKinesis was there, demonstrating the Zephrin 46s driven by an Atma-Sphere S-30, and as one of their dealers I spent some time in the room. I drive my pair with M-60s. | |
| Tube Friendly High End "Big" speakers Hi Bgupton,Big windows like that can be a challenge with a lot of speakers, but I totally get that you don't want to lose the glorious views. The room is probably too small for the Classic Audio T-1.4s, but the T-3s with field coil drivers could d... | |
| Anyone going to RMAF this year? Here is a link to access the Excel file from the website to which Realremo referred (thanks).The link button is at the bottom of the exhibitors list page on the site. | |
| New Vandersteen oil cooled hybrid amplifiers Rpeluso: Spot on!A speaker manufacturer who starts making amplifiers tends to damage relations with amplifier manufacturers with whom they have worked in the past, hurting themselves. Time will tell, but I expect Vandersteen is aware of the risk. ... | |
| Basis Audio Super Arm 9 A customer just ordered a Kuzma 4Point to replace his Phantom II, to be mounted on his Basis Debut with a custom adapter I designed. Can't wait for his reaction and figure he'll be losing a lot of sleep :) | |
| Soundlabs London/UK/Europe I responded to your post on the SLOG site. Once you hear a proper Sound Lab system...Atmasphere is right. People should avail themselves of the opportunity to audition the product(s) of interest rather than buying blind. The latter can become very... | |
| New $35K pivoting tonearm 06-26-14: LarryiI recall that a very rare Air Tangent arm allowed for remotely controlled VTA. I never heard of azimuth being adjustable that way. Kuzma had an arm pillar with a digital readout that made it easy to adjust the arm up or down and ge... | |
| JC3+ Anyone? Alternately from the methods described by Lew and Doug, one can use software, which takes the rest of the system out of the equation, among other things. I have been using the Feickert software ever since it came out and am able to quickly converg... | |
| Panel Sound Hi John,I remember that comparison here well. You might want to come down for a listen to the speakers (U-1PX) which have all the bells and whistles and are in the much larger, acoustically designed room.Brian | |
| Service from Audio Research A dealer's primary obligation must be to his customers. In this case he should be communicating diligently with ARC to quickly resolve the issue without you needing to be involved. A dealer deserves to make a fair profit on the sale, and as part o... | |
| Kuzma Stabi S and 4point? overkill? The 4Point is an easy drop-in installation on the Stabi S. This combination, with the external power supply, was demonstrated at CES in January with a Kuzma CAR-30 cartridge to good effect.Compared to the Stogi S 12 VTA the 4Point is better. I hav... | |
| Some Axpona thoughts The system at the show pales in comparison to what's here, even though the electronics and cabling are the same. Chris and Melissa Owen of Clarity Cable, who were in the room, came by today for a listen and were just about in tears the whole time. |
