| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair They said my cartridge survived the damage but needed replacement. I was worried something was torqued deep inside. They're suggesting the boron option, I've asked about the change in sound since the original was aluminum. The story continues. | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA footers: impressions The speakers don't have threads, they're B&W 805's. I suppose perhaps I could use the Herbie Gliders as a first step. Perhaps Isopucks under the speakers... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present Tldr;To answer the original question, none, since Jadis quit making the Eurythmie. | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA footers: impressions Perhaps I bite the bullet and spike the speakers and put the Gaia's from stand to floor. I went through a variety of articles and videos, but didn't see any mentioning for stands for mini-monitors. It is an odd thing to not speak to stand mounted ... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair Thanks for the information, both of you. I'll see what they say when they get back to me and ask about aluminum/nude contact line diamond combo. I thought the cartridge had a magical something that I never heard in subsequent cartridges I tried. A... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair They haven't done an assessment yet. I asked them about the possible need for replacement (instead of, as Nandric suggested, mere repair) and they said if the cantilever is bent, it will need replacement. I'll post back when they let me know what ... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA footers: impressions Can these be used with stand mounted mini-monitors? Everything I've read is for floorstanders. I'm in a new apartment on parquet flooring and can't use my spikes, so looking for something for my stands (Spica) to floor and speaker to stand as well... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair Well, it sound like it will be happening regardless. Nandric had suggested that the cantilever could be fixed without replacement so I started thinking that perhaps I would want that anyway. Sounds like if it's bent, it will need replacement. So b... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair Would replacing the cantilever/stylus be an upgrade to the cartridge? | |
| Cheap starter system for kids @thatavidguyI like your idea. I use an old Dual turntable to play my 45's since some of those are in less than optimal condition. Especially my punk stuff from the 80's played on a series of console wrecker players. | |
| Interesting Fed Ex encounter... I have a sign on my door that if I'm not home, to put the package in a box underneath the overhang of my house to keep it out of the rain. It's 12 feet away from the door and there's a big arrow pointing to the box. Amazon and USPS always put pack... | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion @oregonpapa I'm on a suspended wood floor, but I rent and can't spike into the floor. If I got the Mapleshade platforms, what would you suggest to attach to the parquet floor? I do have brass spikes for my speaker stands so could spike from stands... | |
| The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC @teajay I bought the Mhdt Orchid based partially on your review and partially on information here. It jibed with my sense that I was looking for a musical experience and not a resolution-fest. I wanted to get something that wasn't going to feel se... | |

| Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma I have an FR-64 and I was using an Orsonic on it to mount other cartridges after damaging my FR-7. Worked fine. |
