Among many outrages foolishness that are so common among the people who going high-end audio one of the most ridicules is use of Single-Ended Triodes and low sensitivity speakers. The people who have db-meters between their ears instead of brain are ...

At CES there were Viagra-junkie sized power cords everywhere for $5000. Around our room were $10k and $20k speakers that sounded like a wet jukebox. It was the land of delusion.Value per topology is one way to measure but let's instead start with a p...

Well, I did not mean to express any specific attitude to Bottlehead people - the only experience I had to them was a few years ago visiting their meeting right here in Boston (I did not know what Bottlehead wa all about at that time). The meeting was...

On the topic of string slippage: I don't think my string, the original one from MS by the way, slips at all once the platter is up to speed. It would slip on the motor pulley when first turned on, as the heavy platter must be gradually brought up to ...

Thanks, guys. They were quite valuable recommendations. I wonder
how would I feel if Thomas what he begin to talk would inform me that I shall
not have more than 3 tonearms on my turntable or more than 3 pressing of my favorite
records…The reality...

Actually, Paul, it has nothing to do with stereo, with two
channels or four channels. The Auro or my reverberation channels, more or less
properly implemented present a completely different listening environment, and a completely different listenin...

user="rom661"]Hi. I acquired and spent a lot of time on this
guy over the last few months. I've installed a Dynavector 507 MK II tonearm and
a Dyhavector XVS-1 cartridge. I read Romy's comments that in his
experience with the 8000 the be...

I'm going to give the M2-12R a try with my SPU Classic.
In case anyone is interested........
Like the 3012r the M2-12R is extruded thin wall stainless steel. M2-12R has an even higher effective mass of 18g compared t...

Bill,
thank you for the ton of useful information! This is pretty much what I
thought, that the recordings should more or less suit the process to begin
with. To be clear: regarding “un-processed” main stereo + “reverb” only, are you saying

It has been a lot of audio damage in this household
lately. A year ago, my wife, for whatever reasons, decided to get a dog, which clearly
violated out prenuptial agreement. I have no idea what was in the head of a

Yesterday I removed and packed all tonearms for my turntable and thoughts about tonearms flew in my head.

I is interesting that most of the “expensive” TTs, with a difference
to a degree of Continuum go for just one topology: mass loading. Yes back a Lechitsky

Chaslieb, you generally is not wrong BUT all of those very rational
