| Omnidirectional antennas I'm using a Fanfare FM2G-C and it works great:http://www.fanfare.com/fm-2g-c.htmlMarv Southcott was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. | |
| Gain specs for Jolida JD-9A phono preamp Colitas,Once you get set up I'd love to know what gain setting you settle on. That, at least, gives one point of reference.I'm also interested in the noise level of the Jolida, as the reason I'm looking is because my current Hagerman Bugle is pret... | |

| Anyone making plinths? WTB Here's another guy, Doug Olsen:about2@comcast.netand an example of his work:http://www.theanalogdept.com/doug_olsen.htmI haven't used him, but he was very professional in our correspondence.David | |
| Headphone playback with ultra linear response Here's one man's opinion:http://www.linkwitzlab.com/reference_earphones.htmDisclaimer: I own the Shure E2s and love them, so I tend to agree with Linkwitz...David | |
| Classic speakers to hunt down used The New Advents are a classic and still sound great. Make sure the foam surrounds of the woofers are intact, as they tend to rot after 10-15 years. I owned mine for 25 years, replaced the woofers once, and sold them here on Audiogon to a guy who c... | |
| Info wanted on George Wright AU-1000 12BH7 preamp I own a used Wright Sound WLA12A and have corresponded with George a number of times. He is sometimes slow to reply due to his being a very small business, but he is always courteous and helpful when he finds the time. Here's the address I use:inf... | |
| Does size really matter? :- Doug, Raul,I agree completely that many factors (not just one in isolation) need to be considered when choosing a cartridge, but how is stylus size and profile any more or less a technical measurement than cartridge mass, compliance, or output? Al... | |
| Anyone have a stock Rega armstub for a 250/300? Gregory Kerry is selling Rega armstubs right here on A'gon:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgtnrm&1144245115 | |
| Well Tempered lab I agree with Focusedfx, the Stanalog fluids are cheap enough that it makes no sense to use anything else. Here's the link:http://store.yahoo.com/stanalog/accessories.htmlI've found George Stanwick to be very helpful when I've had questions about m... | |
| The iPod and the Audiophile I agree with Mapleleafs3. I love my iPod and use it all the time, but it's not up to audiophile standards, and probably never will be. Apple doesn't really want you hooking the iPod up to your home stereo - that's why there's no digital output. Th... | |
| Does size really matter? :- Doug,The pictures certainly dramatize the difference in styli - it's stunning. Are you sure all 4 were done at the same magnification? Based on the revised calculations, I wouldn't expect the visual differences to be so dramatic.David | |
| "Streaming Audio' vs. HDRadio For a home system I agree 100%, as long as you can get the content you want on the Internet. If you're station-specific, there will always be gaps as most commercial broadcast stations don't stream and won't for the foreseeable future, as they're ... | |
| Does size really matter? :- Well, Opalchip,That certainly puts a different cast on things, doesn't it? So now the dimensions of the Sumiko, converted to um, are 7.5 x 17.5. That's quite a difference! It was the huge discrepancy that prompted my original question. So the Sumi... | |
| Does size really matter? :- Dougdeacon,Maybe I lack imagination, but I'm having a hard time picturing the shape of the Zyx stylus you describe. Any chance you could upload the pictures your friend took of the Zyx and the others? It would be educational for all of us.As to ot... |
