| Trenner & Friedl Art Speaker: A Year Later Hi John,I heard the Penaudio Cenya before I bought the Art. They (Cenya) are quite good. I heard them at a dealer's showroom. I wanted a home audition but couldn't work it out with the dealer. So when I got the chance to hear the Art at home - and... | |
| Trenner & Friedl Art Speaker: A Year Later Hahaha - and I thought I was bad! Really, Jeff, maybe 8 pairs (repeat, 8 pairs) are a little too many? You probably have a big house. :)Bought the Art new.Best,George | |
| Trenner & Friedl Art Speaker: A Year Later Hi Jeff,Hope you are well. I gave the Essence to my sister and she's still loving them. I have the walnut mocca finish - simple yet elegant. What is your speaker at present?Best,George | |
| What's inside the plinth of your Garrard 401? Thanks for the info, Crem1, but how long do I need to wait for it to happen?Wow! The Shindo Labs 301 is a real beauty - and a real up-there price, too!I need to find a good carpenter. (I have a feeling this is going to take a while to finish this ... | |
| What's inside the plinth of your Garrard 401? Thanks for the site, Crem1. You're right, their plinths don't come cheap. Rodney, Lewm, about the 60Hz pulley: If I don't use it, can I compensate the speed by adjusting the speed adjustor? George | |
| What's inside the plinth of your Garrard 401? Now that the hoopla is over over the Super Bowl, might life go back to normal?The 401 I bought is a NOS, which means it has never seen the lignt of day. Nor spun a record; and surely needs lubrication. During the last two days, I've been reading o... | |
| What's inside the plinth of your Garrard 401? Wow! That's a beauty, Rodney!The 401, I believe, is set at 50Hz, having being used in England. In the U.S., it needs a 60Hz pulley - what's this? (Sorry, I'm somewhat mechanically-challenged). If I don't change the pulley, would it damage the unit... | |
| I'm Stuck, MMF9 vs. MMF7 vs. Scout vs. Space deck Get rid of your pets! | |
| Linn LP12......That good?? I went to the trouble of looking at the list of equipment you posted; out of 11 items you posted, 9 have the Linn brand name. My word! Rather bizarre you would accuse Mr. Salvatore with having 'personal issues' when it is quite clear to see who is... | |
| Cart for Basis Debut/Graham? Hi Kenl,Stick with your original plan: buy a good cartridge for the meantime and enjoy the purchase before enbarking on a costly journey to buy more stuff like a preamp, etc. - that's not how it works!Give A.J. Conti a call at Basis and ask him wh... | |
| Cart for Basis Debut/Graham? I would, at the least, get a Shelter 501, a decent cartridge that would allow you to have fun with your system until you can afford (per your post) something better down the round. What surprises me, though, is why your initial impression was not ... | |
| Who has heard & compared the good tables? That's a very interesting read, Albert - thanks!While I would like to upgrade, going the Walker route would be an impossibility: it costs too much. $25K?At any rate, can you name a few good tables that could stand the test of time? Tables that wil... | |
| Linn LP12......That good?? No, not that good.I recently heard a souped-up Linn (with all top-of-the-line associated Linn components) and came away not awed by the whole setup. The Linn is very popular because of its cult status, but when you really listen to it, it's all hy... | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? The one that I own - the 47 Lab Phonocube. It sounds very natural. I think the weak link in my system is my table.Cheers,George | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement Matrix,Have you heard the 47 Lab Flatfish? Just wondering...George |
