| Music Server- SSD drives The touchscreen server here has an SSD of moderate size for the OS and music server software, with music stored externally. It can be a great way to go. Achieving top notch performance is an entirely different matter. | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Some time ago one of my customers went from a Triplanar to a 4Point and upon hearing the first few notes exclaimed the 4Point did exactly what he had hoped for. Contrary to the assertions above, it is not soft sounding nor to my knowledge has ever... | |
| Playback Designs MPD-3 10-19-11: Rockitman10-17-11: GhasleyThe playback designs upsamples everything to 6.1 MHz DSD so it sounds amazing, spacious, ALOT of air around the performers.too bad there isn't an option for Native playback. I find upsampling to degrade the soun... | |
| anyone how AMR CD-777 compares to Esoteric SA-50 Gerald, I recommend auditioning both, side by side in your home if possible. Avatar Acoustics is the AMR distributor in the US and Canada and can direct you to your nearest dealer. Telephone 678-817-9035. You might also ask about the new DP-777 di... | |
| Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade? The Morch DP6 tonearm is a two point bearing design and one spike/cup is height adjustable in order to change azimuth. Perhaps the set screw on the spike of the Kuzma 4Point is for that too.Adjusting one of the spikes to adjust azimuth has some pr... | |
| Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade? Dover, the comparison of two points with a knife edge is flawed since the force is concentrated at two points, not over what is presumed to be a line but due to machining accuracy and tolerances cannot have the forces uniformly distributed. | |
| Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade? Hiho, thank you as well. The photos are very helpful. | |
| Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade? Jfrech: Two bearing points are the horizontal plane and are permanently hidden, and two points are in the vertical plane. The latter are clearly visible and are akin to two inverted unipivots. It's obvious when you see it.Kuzma dealer. | |

| Questions About CAT JC-2 Thankfully these sorts of issues certainly don't apply to most tube amps. | |
| EAR 324 vs Einstein The Turntable Choice As a former Einstein dealer, I can tell you the phono stage (balanced version here) is anything but flat and CD-like, nor is it tubey. Shsohis, since you didn't describe at least the associated cartridge and line stage preamp, there is no way to k... | |
| Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade? Syntax, the 4Point is not as you describe. Perhaps there was a gross mismatch with the cartridge, or maybe the cartridge was poorly set up or imcorrectly loaded. Big, bold, dynamic, tonally rich, low noise, and nuanced are what my customers and I ... | |
| Anybody in Denver go to Audio Unlimited yesterday? They are not closing the business, only the Colorado Ave. showroom, according to private correspondence from Carl.Rumors, especially unfounded, can be very damaging. | |
| Shelter 501 II owners: how long is the break-in? Output of the 501 Mk II is 0.5 mV at 1kHz 5cm/sec., certainly not "very low" but rather medium output. 60 dB gain should be sufficient as long as noise is not excessive and input impedance loading is correct.Shelter dealer. | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Are these actual ads for the speaker or reviews?Not advertising but some sort of pictorial product feature, I believe. Look for some rather retro looking horn speakers in an upcoming issue :) |
