| Breuer Type 8C MkII Info Needed Les Wong told me that the Brinkmann (something he also imported) was a better made version of the Breuer due to the counterweight and better manufacture. If you can find Les Wong, I also think think Peter at KJ West One in London also knows a lot ... | |

| Breuer Type 8C MkII Info Needed Contact brinkmann - their 10.5 arm is based on it - sumiko made the mdc 800 - also based on it. Both are pretty helpful.I know from Les who ran walrus systems that they work very well with EMT cartridges | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? If this is the question then what is the answer | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @halcro and @chakster we are living dangerously - but lifes boring if we aren't.All said and done. I got my QL10 back - and it was worked on by wilkinsons - re-cap and re-solder dry jointsSpeed was perfect - plenty of torque - super fast start up.... | |
| Two Turntables? Why I guess its the human need t compare, contrast, fiddle - collate. I don't buy that one sound is absolute and perfect - high end cartridges are a prime example - some are warm - some are cooler. Certain decks I guess are better for different music ... | |
| Two Turntables? Why @luisma DJ'ing got me into vinyl in the 90's. It's what kept up vinyl sales in the UK in the 90's.That aside I will say that I agree with @mikelavigne - although I do it on a far smaller scale.Besides people buy watches, shoes, cars, houses. Are ... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? I know a lot of people speak highly of the dartzeel - but i've never liked them - too much of a golden sheen. I heard them back to back against Lavardin at the UKs' original importer and wasn't blown away.I've not heard constellation in my own sys... | |

I have heard Leemas quite a few times and they are. not harsh or cold - but they are very solid state.What are your speakers? the designer must know what he is talking about - they usually do.I use a Lavardin IT and that truly sounds like a valve ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @chakster in fairness they are fairly intricate...Out of interest do you use the JVC mat or another mat on the TT101? I have a SONY TTS 8000 but it does not have the OL2K mat and would love a modern alternative for that mat too | |

| Azimuth 2020 Hi fi news test record is good so is the soundsmith method | |
| How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge.... As the world of high end audio shrinks - so do the dealers that can demo a product. I don't mind uplift when there is good product support and advice - along with demos. Theres a lot of risk in audio these days and at the top end i guess businesse... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear @chakster I've seen you mention the AT 616 legs before.My problem with them is that the cheapest set i have seen is about £250.00. I do not have a problem affording that but there are modern options by Townshend that are worth exploring. Like... |
