| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Dear Thuchan, I was confused with the TAD drivers because they all looked to me as HF drivers but the result is evenestheticaly fantastic. I hope that the Bavarian Voice soundas they look. BTW you must be slender as well as supple toget 'around' a... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Ct0517, I agree in general about the 'extravagant prices' in analog domain but disagree that manufacturers are the primary cause. Those from abroad hardly get 30% ofthe selling price. First there is the import duty +VAT,thenthe importeur and ... | |

| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Dertonarm, I had no idea that K. Remer passed awey soyoung. Was this the reason for 'passing awey' of the Magazine? I still regard DAS OHR as the best HI-FI Magazineever. The peculiar methodology was that each component was revieuwed by two r... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Raul, I assume that I quoted from 'Das Ohr' in the thread about the FR-64 S. According to the reviewers thegeometry in the user manual was not optimal and they proposed 231.5 mm spindle-pivot distance and 146mm eff. lenght. Those are the 'FR ... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Dear Dertonarm, 'a divine voice' is tribute to your romantic nature but I meant with this Darwian capabilityto 'ignore noise' some kind of explanation for the factthat we are able to enjoy records .Regards, | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Dear Dertonarm, I am not sure if our ears are capable ofignoring this 'noise' or our psychology? Anyway, avoiding Freud , such kind of of mechanism must have some Darwian fundation.Regards, | |

| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Dear Thuchan, I assume that everyone would love to buildhis own 'dream speakers'. Anyway I would. My curiosity isabout the drivers. I know that A Capella uses some midd-dome for the range of +/-300- 50000 Hz. Then the Usher horn uses the TAD coaxi... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lew, Thanks for your kindness but I have a fitter(?) or technician with an lathe who already made some tonearmparts for me. Besides if I needed an second arm pod I wouldorder by Vidmantas. But I can at last give you some advice.Because we bot... | |
| My wifes birthday present - a turntable I agree with Chosenhandle reg. Brinkmann but this means that the Breuer 8 from which Brinkmann is 'deduced' will bealso the 'dream choice'. Assuming that you are not yet inthe situation to afford them I would recommend an second hand Triplanar VII... | |
