| Value of Futterman Amps I would say it depends, somewhere around where @roberjerman was at and where atmasphere is at is close to the truth. If they are a basket case then all bets are off. The Orion bluebook has nothing to do with retail prices. Ebay or Audiogon have m... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? @mmporsche you will get many opinions as you observed. What I understand is that this is new for you, quality is important & set and forget is paramount. With your budget it may not be a bad idea to touch and feel some of these tables by trave... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? This is funny, everyone is prepared to spend your money-LOL.$25K is healthy budget. My only advice is to listen to as much equipment as you can understanding that you will never duplicate the environment- so you only get the shadings of the illusi... | |
| Best Arm for a VdH Frog Grace tonearm?, not sure of the original poster's budget but why not recommend the Mayware Formula IV and Magnepan arm as well?- If the Dynavector is too fiddly then a 30 year old arm would be worse.. sheesh.Ninetynine find yourself a respectable ... | |
| Balanced or single ended phono cable to Aesthetix Io? Balanced in - on phono for this design is over-ratedI like the new KLE phono RCA connectors on some braided silver and cotton sheathed wire I am using now for the Io on the Kuzma 4 point and Brinkmann 12.1 arms I have currently.I have experimented... | |
| Balanced or single ended phono cable to Aesthetix Io? I have used both - for me I really was not able to resolve much difference with this phono stage. Admittedly, the balance connections were made with Hovland Music groove cable and the unbalanced everything from home brew silver and cotton to Carda... | |

| Klyne vs 47 Labs phono stage Lewm,It is difficult to shy away from the jewel like quality of the Klyne brand. For solid state it is hard to beat. Some will argue that SS is the only way to do mV phono stages. On paper I might agree, tubes add noise which for some is unbearabl... | |
| Klyne vs 47 Labs phono stage I had a Klyne 7.0 Series stand alone Phono preamp for some years. It was a beautiful piece of equipment and had a very natural presence.Ultimately, I was downsizing all the iterations of phono preamps I had and landed on keeping the 3 box Aestheti... | |
| Beveridge speakers-does anyone still use them? HiI refurbished the high voltage supplies and re-fitted two new morel woofers myselfPanels were ok | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? Uh - a watt is a watt ...it is a unit of measure there is no difference by virtue of the device that produces it.Now frequency characteristics, load interactions and clipping or distortion characteristics- that is different. | |
| Beveridge speakers-does anyone still use them? I have refurbished a pair of Model 3's that I'm enjoying | |
| Fix Aesthetix Io volume control? Honestly do want to try your luck on this level of equipment? I wouldn't if you don't have good component level electronic trouble shooting skills.This isn't your typical PAS 3 open for experimentation . You could potentially make a mess of it.I c... | |
