| High End is Dead? I don't understand the proliferation of new turntables/arms at this year's AXPONA and Munich last year. I just saw two new $23,000 turntables w/arms from Einstein and Thales (the former's first turntable). I think Levinson just came out with a ... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses I would prefer if manufacturers used circuit breakers instead of fuses. My 2 phono stages and 2 of 3 pre-amps are unfused. Only my CD players and amps are fused. I've heard my amps with SR blue fuses and the same amps with circuit breakers inst... | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? Please excuse my lack of knowledge concerning the SME V. I haven’t seen one for decades and forgot that it has a VTA adjustment ability. However, it is there and easier than the SME IV per other Audiogon forums but not on the fly. https://forum.au... | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? The SME V has an oil trough and is said to have higher rated/durable ABEC bearings. I have the 1989 SME IV version with even older bearings played at least 7,000 or 8,000 hours with no apparent wear on a VPI TNT VI (previously on a VPI 19-4). The ... | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? I noticed that my SME IV and an SME V arms are still listed for sale at Acoustic Sounds but at much higher prices ($4,295 for the SME IV) http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/112917/SME-Series_IV_Tonearm-Tonearm Buying a used one at 1/4 that price is... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Wow. I bet trolls are writing really nasty personal rants against me. Thanks moderators.I joke about SR "upgrading" and changing their top of the line tweaks, but it’s all for the better. I am glad I purchased the Atmosphere XL4 rather than an FEQ... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses I agree that no fuse is the best for sound but luckily, the SR Blue fuse sounds really similar to my friends’ identical amps but for his use of circuit breakers in place of the fuses. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic The audiotweak - I know one vendor at the last year's LA Audio show who used the stock tubes in his demo and when I suggested he try a certain brand/tube to elevate the SQ he brought out the identical pair he just received from the same dealer I p... | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? ct01517 Thank you for your six items a tonearm should address. My modified SME IV falls short on ability to adjust Azimuth (shims only where necessary) and VTA (sprung up or down, difficult to achieve but once set, lock it in). So, the SME IV c... | |
| Golden ear Technology reference I can understand the differences heard by owners and auditioners. My main system speaker has had 100s of reviews by owners/users over the past 25+ years deriding them as awful to lauding them as fantastic bargains. They are the Legacy Focus speake... | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? I am lucky to have had my SME-IV modified by the late Brooks Berdan. He retrofitted the interior wiring with the then best Cardas wire and shot a closed cell foam into the arm wand to eliminate vibration. Those two steps eliminated the mid-bass ... | |
| Digitizing LPs Wow, I'd like to digitize some of my LP collection and all of my 78 rpm collection but that would take the rest of my life. I have 25,000 lps and 7,000 78s. I digitize for musicians/conductors who want to hear rare and obscure performances/works... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Go to China and Russia and see how much freedom they have and how they bully their own people as well as people all around the world (well, mostly Russia does that, China buys out foreign country interests). Trump may threaten but Russia acts surr... | |
