| Would anyone be interested in a timeshare on an Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner Pro? I remember speaking to the Canadian distributor for Audio Desk about this very subject. He said there would be no warranty on such a unit because abuse and silly people(he used much stronger terms) would destroy the unit in no time. | |
| Manley with Harbeth Monitor 40.1 As a correction to my first post. The Harbeths I listened to were the new 40.2s, not the 40.1s as I stated in my first post. Although they have an easy to drive impedance of 6-8 ohms, they are only 86 dB efficient. | |
| Manley with Harbeth Monitor 40.1 I did not write that post out of spite. I listened to a 6 figure system for an hour and was not impressed. My observations were exactly as stated in my previous post. I would have chosen a high current amplifier of at least 200 watts per channel. ... | |
| Clint Eastwood I remember he was asked about desert island records and he said Oscar Peterson records would be his first choice. | |
| Manley with Harbeth Monitor 40.1 I listened to a pair of 40.1's hooked up to a MacIntosh 275. The rest of the system was state of the art. The 275 struggled with the 40.1's. The left and right channels had different outputs, and there was tremendous tube rush. You need power to d... | |
| SOTA Sapphire speed issue I purchased the KAB strobe light\disc apparatus. It works. | |
| Spin Clean fluid On another forum, one of the gurus told a tale of how to get the most from your Spin Clean. He went 20-30 times in each direction. Changing it up it up half way as the bristles on the brush get used to going in one direction. So 10-15 right, 10-15... | |
| SOTA Sapphire speed issue You should be able to remove the protective cover that houses the 33\45 switch, the on\off switch, and the speed adjustment. With that cover off determine if the belt has been installed inside out. The grippy side could be on the outside and the n... | |
| J.A. Mitchell TecnoDec vs. Clearaudio Emotion CMB A vote for the Michell. It takes a very good uni-pivot arm to do bass properly. You will get bass from the Michell. | |
| Rega RB2000 - Bearing Play I had this problem with a TecnoArm because of my clumsiness. I am not insinuating that you are clumsy. The bearings were covered by a small plastic plug that were easier to remove than see. After that I just snugged up the small screw until snug. ... | |
| Phono cable recommendations - high performance good value cable I can vouch for Audio Sensibility cables. I run a 90 degree DIN to balanced outputs. They really helped. | |
| Ortofon verto step-up any good? The Ortofon Verto uses Lundahl transformers. As Lundahl only makes so many models of transformer for moving coil cartridge applications my money is on that the Verto uses a Lundahl 1941 model. K&K Audio is the American distributor of Lundahl t... | |
| Record Revirginizer I bought 3 containers of the stuff a couple of years ago. I find that leaves a film after useage that must be cleaned off your record. What ever fim is remaining after useage is easily cleaned off with my RCM and Keith Monks fluids. I only use th... | |
| Fave IC between SUT and Phono Pre... I have played with a couple of step up transformers and have had the same problem with both: the interconnect between the step up and the preamplifier is too long, too heavy, and too stiff. I am going to a Kimber model that is 18 inches long, ligh... | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? If you want silent backgrounds like that of digital go solid state. Tubes have an allure, but at a cost. Many reviews are done by tube aficionados that blithely over look reduced (poor) bass and tube noise. Many of them are also in the late stages... |
