Horn Speaker Recommendations
I do not think it is necessary to use tubes on horns.  At Axpona this year the Avantgarde room was using an Esoteric integrated amp, 30 watts per channel with AG Duos and it sounded terrific.  Perhaps others on this forum heard that room and can c... 
Horn Speaker Recommendations
My room is 23' X 20' which I assume is smaller than most dedicated sound rooms.  That is what I am referring to as a small room.  In that space they work fine. Most venues where Trios are being displayed are much larger than that.  I should have s... 
Horn Speaker Recommendations
I have had many speakers over my lifetime and have spent a lot of money on stuff.  The best long term speaker system I have encountered (and own for the past 8 years) are the Avantgarde Trios.  On the used market a pair with subs in 19 ohm configu... 
Speaker recommendation thread (Organised by tiers of price)
My favorite for overall best speaker for the money is a used pair of Avantgarde Trios.  Average price used in mint condition is around $20K.  There is a reason this speaker has been around relatively unchanged for the past 25 years.  Most speakers...

Durand record weight ha ha ha ha - and other crazy thing
lohanimal, do you still have an Amazon Referenz TT (which incidentally has a wonderful record weight included in the price of the TT)?  If so I would like to correspond, el see el oh dee at charter dot net. 
Wish to Correspond with Anyone with an Amazon Turntable
I have had this TT for 18 months and am on my third string. There is no description of how to set the tension in the owners manual.  One assumes that the minimum tension needed to spin the platter without slippage would suffice.  By the same token...

Stringreen, thanks for the admonishment.  Mofi, got your email and was able to print just fine, for which I thank you.  Others need not respond. 
Anyone used a USB microscope to align cartridge?
Great pictures Nine and Veho. From the microscopic view, how do you get the overlapping lines for SRA/VTA? Do you photoshop them in and then estimate the angle or does the microscope have a grid on it? Also, in looking at the digital microscopes s... 
Has biwire speaker cabling become "old" ?
This is obviously a topic many people have questions about (myself included) based on the number and variety of responses. I recently recabled my Avantgard Trio horn speakers changing from the manufacture recommended biwire cable to a single high ... 
Spiral Groove 1.1 or 2 tables
The predecessors to the Spiral Groove TTs were the RPM TTs. I have an RPM 1 with the RPM arm which I have owned for over 20 years. I have never had any problems with it and it still works perfectly. The build quality of these TTs is extraordinary ...
