| Andra II speaker tilt/effective tweeter height So, as a fellow Andra II user, I am interested in how you achieved the tilting forward of the speakers. (Did you back out the spikes in the rear to lengthen them a bit? Or did you place something under the rear spikes?) To be honest, in my room, t... | |
| Has anyoe had problems using the mint LP tractor A friend bought one, (based upon my recommendation after seeing all the glowing reviews), for me to use in setting up his turntables. (He had two identical Basis 2500 turntables with Vector tonearms.) And while I had never used one before, I found... | |
| Choice of Koetsu cartridges? The Koetsu cartridges do have a lush mid-range that is intoxicating. They also are very quiet, with a deep, dark black background that is fantastic. The treble is slightly (and I do mean slightly) rolled off, especially on the non-platinum cartrid... | |
| Good stores in LA Wow, I had not realized that the high end scene was so bad in L.A. (It is not nearly so bad here in the Bay Area).You might be better off looking at the record stores down there, such as Amoeba Records in Hollywood (6400 Sunset Blvd.), or other su... | |
| US only sales WHY??? It is buyers like David12 that I would, (and have on the rare occassion), sell to who are outside of the U.S.I like buyers who understand that there are hassles in selling internationally, and they, as the international buyer, assume all the respo... | |
| Pure Phono Preamp Fourfour,No, the Manley Steelhead is $7,500 new, with the remote.(Used, around $4K, probably.) | |
| Pure Phono Preamp Fourfour,I think the ASR Basis Exclusive "might" just be the ticket for you, since you plan on using different cartridges. You could have one tone arm set up with a mono cartridge and another with a stereo cartridges. Best of both worlds then!One ... | |
| US only sales WHY??? Taylor514,To answer your question: "Do you sellers that restrict your sales only to the U.S. ever buy from international sellers or do you only buy from the U.S.?"The basic answer is: No, I don't buy "equipment" internationally, and Yes, I only bu... | |
| Pure Phono Preamp By "gain control", do you mean a volume control, or the ability to adjust the set gain (and loading) via dip switches, resisters or even a remote control?If the later, the ASR Basis Exclusive is a world class phono preamp, (read all the glowing re... | |
| US only sales WHY??? I too dislike selling out of the U.S., especially since most of the items I sell are rather high priced items, and if there is a problem, I am out big bucks!I don't want to deal with customs, or excessive insurance, or especially, bogus paypal pay... | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers It is kind of a crappy attitude, but I can understand why it is his policy. There are an awful lot of people who use the brick and mortar stores as their source for auditioning equipment, when the entire time they are planning on buying their equi... | |
| Just when you thought it was safe to go 16:9.. Great!I can't wait to hook up my Betamax VCR, my Laserdisk player, and my HD-DVD player to this new format TV!;-) | |
| Eggleston Andra IIIs at CES Vx700,After you get them broken in, please let us know what you think of them. Also, if you could post some pictures of them, that would be cool too.And, most importantly, if you get a chance to compare them to the Andra II speakers, let us know w... | |
| If you could replace one link... If you only run digital (i.e. from your DAC to your preamp), than upgrade that one, as it is closer to your source.If you run both analog and digital, I recommend upgrading the run between your preamp and amps, as that will be used by both sources... | |
| Record Sleeve Recommendation I too use the MoFi sleeves. I have never had a problem with them. Bought in large quantities, the price seems reasonable. |
