| In Illinois, who can professionally set-up my Linn You might want to consider a Sole sub chassis, I have had very good results with mine. Also use his armboard. Not that much money for the sonic improvement. | |
| Recommended coax cable for Metrum Octave I am using Transparent Reference with mine, may well be the best but list price is higher than the cost of the Metrum, I bought mine on ebay. Clearer Audio Silver is also very good but not cheap either; paid around $290 for mine new with shipping ... | |
| Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p? It does not look like the Alexia will be a viable alternative to the Sasha unless the price is much cheaper here than in England. The price over there is suppose to be 200,000 pounds; or $300,000 or more depending on conversion rate. May be a grea... | |
| Graham Phantom1, Kuzma Stogi Ref, Naim ARO I have the Rega; I also have a Graham and have had a FR 64fx years ago. Frankly I would just as soon have my Jelco 750 as the 64. Have also had the 309 and IV. I went with the Moth version which you can get new for $1200. Can add a Pete Wriggle VT... | |
| How would you rate Luxman Turntable PD121 or PD272 The big belt drives are the ones to get; 300 and 444 if I remember correctly. Probably harder to find. | |
| Where to buy Metrum Octave? You might try direct; explain the problems you are having. I bought mine that way ; there was a long wait but well worth it. | |
| Faceplates Silver or Black??????? Get black; when it dies it won't have to change. | |
| Local dealer has ESP Find one that has ESPN. | |
| Asr basis exclusive or naim superline+hicap2 I got it yesterday; it sounds great. | |
| High Capacitance Phono/Tonearm Cables? Use the DB; without the extra capacitance the Shure will exhibit a drooping midrange response. Disclaimer; I was a DB dealer 30 years ago; bought ONE of these kits and sold it a couple of years ago. They haven't actually gone up THAT much compared... | |
| Why does your turntable sound the way it does. Why does a car drive the way it does? Air in tires might be wrong pressure; wheels might be out of alignment; ignition might be malfunctioning and so on. Complex mechanical systems can be out of alignment in many ways. When the Hale telescope on M... | |
| Asr basis exclusive or naim superline+hicap2 I am getting a Townshend Allegri; already ordered. I have used several passives and have a couple of good ones now but I felt that the transformer coupled ones were the way I wanted to go. | |
| North Carolina Audio Club My wife lived outside of Franklin NC when we met 8 years ago: we looked for a house in Asheville, Brevard and Hendersonville before we moved up here 6 years ago. She has wanted to come back ever since and we have found a nice house in Waynesville.... | |
| Who uses high end TT setup for vintage records ? The other day I played a new LP and followed it with TIME FURTHER OUT ; an LP I have had since the mid 60s. The surfaces sounded quieter and the sound was comparable if not better. With new gear I hear things that I had no idea were there; I have ... | |
| Asr basis exclusive or naim superline+hicap2 The arm leads from the Rega 1000 are hard wired to give a direct signal path from the cartridge clips to the RCAs; that is no intervening DIN plugs etc. I use a 2006 ASR; some have found it better than the new one but I neither know nor care which... |
