| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable As usual the typical naysayers are swinging for the fences.. The current LP12 Klimax model had a good review recently by Herb Reichert in Stereophile. Herb compared it favorably to his Dr.Feickert and others and seemed to feel it was still at ... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever @anthos314 Your stylus is a very small diamond which along with the cantilever tracks barely above the record surface! This is always a little odd looking at first, but the Lyra models exhibit this behavior…which is part of their design.Remember,... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever @chayro You are not dealing with a set it and forget it type of product when you are getting into upper end analog. There are plenty of out of the box set it and forget it solutions in analog, but all of them are not designed for ultimate perfor... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever On what part of the record does the stylus skip? If it skips towards the lead out groove, then I would try a slightly higher anti skate ( this was happening on my Kleos on a few pressings, the fix was to increase very slightly the anti-skate). Rem... | |
| MIT Cables new "Articulation Control Console" $45.000 for speaker cables? Peanuts, MIT is coming out with the 20 Million dollar set, designed for the lad who needs to truly impress his friends. | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Maybe someone could explain to me why this reviewer ( Fremer) has such a fan base? While many of us would agree with his points on occasion, his attitude to folks who disagree with him, or call into question his ’expert status’, leaves a lot to be... | |
| Paolo Tezzon has left Sonus Faber @craig I think your description of the Franco designed SF's is not accurate at all. Sure, they can be made to sound as you describe, but they typically are more musical and, IME, preferred by a lot of folks to the later designs. A 'warm syrupy'... | |
| Paolo Tezzon has left Sonus Faber Franco was able to bring a lot of coherence into his designs, more so IMO than Paolo. Franco also had a great ear for what the sound of a natural 'unamplified' instrument sounded like. This was one of Franco's greatest strengths, and which I think... | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @greenngoldcheesehead I would definitely take the folks at the economic forecasting firm to Vegas with you. Should be able to make you a fortune! | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @ghasley When Covid first hit, I saw a report of a young lad who decided he was going to buy up huge supplies of hand sanitizer. Apparently, he did succeed in this and was able to temporarily impact the supply of hand sanitizer. This bad actor th... | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @ghasley You are right with regards to your last paragraph when it comes to pricing. Unfortunately, in a true capitalistic society the ability to have no price controls is paramount, and as such free market reign is also paramount. The result of ... | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @soix Take a look at the very interesting post from retiredfarmer above. Unfortunately, I think he has some very good points. | |
| Vladimir Lamm RIP I met him briefly at one of the Stereophile shows in the LA area. Very nice man with a great ear. RIP Mr.Lamm. | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @soix You don't see the factors you mention as being present now???? | |
| Axpona 2022 what impressed you? @rsf507 Great question. It might end when folks with money begin to realize how little value they are getting for their money ( and actually care about that!)...and more importantly, do not open up their wallets to allow the madness to continue! ... |
