Well Tempered Reference Arm and Koetsu Rosewood Signature Combination
Lewm, regarding the Well Tempered forked tonearm I, for one, understand and agree with your point regarding the semantics around the word bearing. My concern is the issue that would have allowed you to visually notice a change in azimuth as well a...

Got the upgrade itch, fellow audiofiles!
My entire audio involvement change when I got off the Paradigm merry-go-round, Studio 100s V1s, V2s, and S8s. I went through a myriad of electronics and it was the speakers that were simply cohesive. You can clearly hear the tweeters, midrange, an...

Audible Illusions M3B with Aragon amp?
Is it now in vogue to boast about how long it took to get a repair or a new product because he's a good guy? Does he have any of your money? Do you actually understand why your waiting? Unique parts supply? Don't care? I believe this is the where ...
