@tomic601 Jim,I am sure you are absolutely correct, I never had the pleasure of meeting AJ, but I am sure that he would have been a person I would have been enamored of. Your story is one that I am not surprised about, as I had heard great things ...

@millercarbon I am now absolutely 100% certain that your posts are not worth responding to, lmao.

@mijostyn After the response that I received above from Millercarbon, I think your original post was probably too diplomatic..and nowhere near harsh enough!   IMO, comparing yourself to AJ Conti as a table designer ( as Millercarbon has done) a...

@millercarbon Your post is barely even worth responding to, and frankly i’m not sure why I am bothering considering your condescending attitude.. However,I could assume that you did not mean to be so condescending in your first paragraph and mean...

Guys, I think that if one has a favorite product it is easy to defend it and just as easy to get offended when someone else has an alternative opinion....like we just evidenced in the posts above. @millercarbon You mentioned that Mr. Fremer prai...

IMHO, it takes a lot to better a mid range Basis, and the top of the line models are SOTA.

Best speakers around $130k?
If you don’t like the Alexx V, see if you can hear a pair of Alsyvox Botticellis with the external x-overs.Maybe even the Caravaggio model.  
Room Ceiling Height for 2 channel listening - is taller always better?
I have a room that is 10' X11'..saving grace is that it has a vault ceiling to 13'. With room acoustic treatments, it is quite good.   
FINALLY-a cheapskates US cleaner?
@tablejockey  It's early days yet, but yes, I do think it works as well as the Kirmuss. Better in that it cannot damage your record. However, I did hear some of the pops and clicks that have been mentioned on other forums after i cleaned one LP th... 
FINALLY-a cheapskates US cleaner?
I just acquired a Humminguru. This after having demo'ed a Kirmuss. The Kirmuss is not a bad machine, but its slot loading mechanism can lead to record damage! This is not the case with the new Humminguru, which i think seems to work as well as the... 
What Record Clamp for LP12?
I think record clamps are a 'no no' with the LP12, for all of the reasons mentioned so far. IMO, if you need a record clamp, there is a big possibility that your record is warped, if that is the case, you are simply adding a band-aid to the proble...
