What is under your TT, cheap islolation?
Perhaps rather than hanging a shelf on the wall you could just attach the existing rack to the wall so that it cannot rock when the floor flexes. In my case, the motion that caused the problem seemed to be horizontal, not vertical. 
Noisy Bellari VP 129?
Fishwater, I'm sorry I wasn't able to provide more help. Mine seems to work just fine. At least it isn't going to tie up a lot of money while being repaired. I would certainly be looking for an explanation (or a refund) from the person who sold th... 
solidstate system to single ended...should I?
I went from Goldmund Dialogues powered by Jeff Rowland 201 monoblocks and his Concerto preamp to a pair of Zu Druids and an Onix SP-3 integrated tube amp. I received nearly $10K for what I sold and spent $3500 on what I bought. In the process I up... 
Noisy Bellari VP 129?
Hi Fishwater, I plugged my son's Grado SR 60 headphones into the rear jack with no input and turned the volume up half way and then all the way. No hum. No sound at all. Seems like you might have a bum unit. I was not able to mess around with it m... 
Noisy Bellari VP 129?
I have one and I have a bit of hum like as if the table needs to be grounded. In my case, however, I find I can reduce the hum by moving Bellari further from my integrated. I suspect my problem just has to do with magnetic fields. Have you tried m... 
Ok....Audiogoners: need some tube amp ideas
I would choose the Music Reference because of the company's track record and because of the flexibility afforded by the two amps for mono use or vertical biamping or dropping down in power with more efficient speakers or just having a spare should... 
What is under your TT, cheap islolation?
I found that the energy causing my problem were horizontal rather than vertical. The equipment stand actually rocked very slightly with the flexing of the floor. If that is your problem, you may be seeking stability rather than isolation. That is ... 
Best table to Expect To Find at a Garage Sale
I bought a Sony PSX-70 for $10 recently. It's a massive, deluxe fully automatic Direct Drive that turns at perfect speed. There was no stylus in the cartridge but I'm expecting it to work well when I've installed a new cartridge. The table looks g... 
Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu
Aktchi,Check out this link:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/zu2/definition.htmlYou'll find plenty of good photos and a very worthwhile review. If you don't like the looks of Zu, cross them off your list and keep looking. If the best sound is you... 
Ok....Audiogoners: need some tube amp ideas
Hi Ken, I perceive a change in the market toward more efficient speakers. You may want to adjust your parameters with this in mind. There are many more options at lower power within your budget and a reduction in quantity might enable you to purch... 
Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu
Undertow,I keep hearing people talk about comparisons between Zu and other speakers. You seem to agree with me that there really is no comparison. The best efforts at hiding the splices in the audio signal all fall short of not cutting it up in th... 
Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu
I have to wonder why so few people seem to "get" that a crossover is a source of problems in speaker design. Every legitimate speaker manufacturer would stop using crossovers in their speakers if they had a better way to provide full bandwidth. It... 
Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu
I would guess there are two reasons why you are not hearing about Zu. One is the fact that wood veneer is not an option with Zu. And secondly, nothing which has a crossover in the vocal range will compare. Check out the reviews of the Definition a... 
Which is best American Amp in $1500-2000 range?
Figueiredops,I have been experimenting with Chinese product and I would have to agree that there are points to be concerned about in terms of construction. I just acquired an ASL Orchid integrated which uses 2a3 tubes. It has an O.K. chrome chassi... 
Which is best American Amp in $1500-2000 range?
I probably shouldn't ask but why not the best amp rather than the best American amp?
