| HRS M3X isolation base or Minus-K? Hey Mark,Jeff told me you've been in touch. Glad things are working out. I just couldn't resist another turntable!Bill | |
| HRS M3X isolation base or Minus-K? Myles, I'd be interested in your opinion on the OP question about HRS platforms and Minus-K. You've probably listened to more turntables on isolation platforms than most of us. | |
| Jean Nantais Lenco Reference mk. ii user feedback Interesting. Thanks. | |
| HRS M3X isolation base or Minus-K? Yeah, I'm especially convinced by "invariably" and "ditto."Anyone have experience with the HRS M3X platforms? They're the unknown quantity to me. | |
| HRS M3X isolation base or Minus-K? Sksos1, I hear your pitch. | |
| HRS M3X isolation base or Minus-K? Rsf507, I know Vibraplanes are a great option. I'm a bit put off by the idea of bladders and compressed air, probably because I had an irritating time with a leaky seismic sink long ago. No comparison between the two products, I know, but still. G... | |
| Difference between Brinkmann Bardo and Oasis? Hi Ps68, Shipping was delayed while additional armboards were drilled, so it's not here yet. Judging by the tracking info, it ought to be landing at LAX around now (am I eager or what?), about to clear customs and head north. I'll report back afte... | |
| Anyone modded a Steelhead? I might be able to shed some light on the Lightspeed question, if only by extrapolation. Like Whart, I prefer the Steelhead into a preamp. Directly into my amps (whether Bryston 28b-SST2 or Reference Line Silver Signature), I found it to be nicely... | |
| VAC Signature mk2 vs Purity Audio Ultra? The VAC Phi Beta pre-amp is another option if you can find one used. Much like the MKII but has a full-function remote. | |
| Phantom II to Supreme Upgrade: Cost? I believe the cost is 800 USD. The problem is that you have to get on a wait list and it moves very slowly. Inquire through your dealer or the distributor, Musical Surroundings. | |
| VAC Signature mk2 vs Purity Audio Ultra? I think the new Statement phono stage is around $50K. The line stage is probably around the same, I'd guess. The air is thin at that elevation. | |
| Jean Nantais Lenco Reference mk. ii user feedback I think it's a different idler wheel. This from Jean in an email in November: "I just finished designing, having made and testing a new ultra-high-accuracy idler wheel, the last of the MKII modifications." After reviewing other emails from him, I ... | |
| Analog setup - do it your self or hire a pro? Vinyl is a hands-on affair. The more you know about set up and adjustment, the more you'll get out of your rig. There IS a learning curve. But it's worth the effort and expense in the long run if you're serious about playing LPs. And the learning ... | |
| Jean Nantais Lenco Reference mk. ii user feedback Oh yes, I neglected to answer your question about support. For a year, I placed the turntable directly onto an Adona multi-element shelf (granite bonded to high-density fiberboard) in an Adona rack. It sounded really good. Then I added a Minus-K s... | |
| Jean Nantais Lenco Reference mk. ii user feedback I've owned a Reference Lenco (with two arms) for a year and a half but it's a Mark 1. I'll be sending it in to Jean soon for the new titanium idler wheel and whatever other upgrades he's come up with. Tonearms are either Graham Phantom II or Tri-p... |
