| Turntable repair Houston area? I use Save-On Sound on Antoine (not that far from you, I imagine.) 713-957-9600. The owner, Mr Tham (sp?) is very pleasant and helpful. He appreciates vintage gear, and I think his pricing is reasonable. I have an Infinity FET preamp getting "Phas... | |
| Any decent TTables with a semiautomatic arm I recently acquired a table which may fit your needs: a Revox 790. It's not bad sonically, and has auto return at end of record. Additionally, there is no "arm" per se; rather an arm gantry which holds the ultra short linear tracking arm mechanism... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? For those needing proof of the Precept 550's existence, I bought the used box on e-Bay. I have a 440 with 550 stylus, and I just uploaded the user info and specifications that were in the box to VE. It should appear in their database in a few days. | |
| Where can i find an Aurum Beta S replac. stylus? I agree with above comments. I bought a used Aurum Beta S that needed a new stylus. Went ahead and got an AT-95 Shibata replacement stylus and then sat on it - insecure in what to do (despite detailed instructions available on the web.). Finally g... | |
| Broke my clearaudio stylus tradein or look at othe An even cheaper fix ( though you may view it as temporary) is to buy an Audio-Technical AT-95 replacement stylus (available as elliptical, line contact, and Shibata profiles) then clip the "wings" and replace the stylus assembly yourself. This tec... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Reading through this thread brings up a lot of questions, and the one of 3 dimensionality has recently piqued my interest. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending 2 live, unamplified musical performances and I paid close attention to the spatia... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I response to your question earlier. I have a 320STR III, but it's not in perfect condition and I haven't spent much time with it. The short time I had it mounted in a secondary system, I thought it was quite revealing. I also jumped on the 4... | |
| Can I straighten an off-center twisted cantilever? I've had some luck rebending wayward cantilevers, but working under a microscope with tiny microsurgical instruments. Nonetheless, it is not easy and I agree with Elizabeth that the outcome is probably 50/50 at best. Trying to unbend the bend arou... | |
| Milty Zerostat - Questions Interesting comments. Is the Milty Zerostat the same as the original as sold by discwasher? I read the comment above about pointing the gun away upon release, and the musicdirect site ad which says to hold the gun about 2 inches from the disc. Did... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello. I've been reading this thread for some time, and even posted some time back. In response to the question whether anyone else is playing with the Azden, yes, I am. But my assessment is hardly as well developed as those of the principles here... | |
| Gale 401a speakers I bought a pair of reconditioned 401s about a year ago - to use as part of a seconday system while my house is having a major overhaul. Yes, they are extraordinary - even more so when one considers their age. Shortly after I set them up, a friend ... | |
| Threshold S/500 Power Amp or ??? I recently "upgraded" to an s/500II from an Adcom 555 to run my Apogee Duetta Sigs. A spectacular improvement: enormously more detail and precision, especially in mid- highs. Bigger stage, more "air," and greater dynamics. The bass control, howeve... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? (My first post here!) I too have gotten a lot of pleasure reading this thread. Rauliruegas' initial post is brilliant and brings up a multitude of questions about where we have been and where we are going with higher-end audio. After some years' h... |
