    Brinkmann Balance vs. J. Sikora Reference- Battle of the $50K Belt Drives

    Hello, Yes, I was able to spend 3 days listening to the Sikora/Doshi/Joseph room at AXPONA. It was yet again, another great showing by some really talented designers and very gracious men... Robert Sikora, Nick Doshi and Jeff Joseph! Talk about system synergy... they had it in spades! This...

    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    I think I may have totally messed this one up.... For some reason, I thought we were meeting at 5PM, not 5:30PM. I had an early dinner at the Public House and was feeling bad because it was taking a little bit longer to eat there than what I had expected. I didn't get to the bar area until...

    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    Jeffrey always has some of the greatest and most varied lp's to listen to. This is one of the greatest things I appreciate most about visiting his room at these shows. Although, it always costs me a ton of money, because I end up going on discogs and buying a bunch of new lp's that he has...

    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    Hello Jerome, I had no idea that you were going to be playing there, but I happened to be walking by that room... they had the door open to the room while you were playing. As I was walking by, I thought to myself... that has to be the most realistically and most naturally sounding recording...

    advice sought, turntables $10-20k

    I noticed a beautiful looking Stabi R Wood listed for sale on another forum for $7K. I heard the Stabi R Wood at AXPONA last year using the Kuzma Ref 313VTA arm and I thought it sounded really nice. I'm considering either the J Sikora Ref or the Standard Max for my next table. If I decide...

    Thank you for posting the videos... Great system btw! I prefer the 211's myself :cool:. Just out of curiosity, are you using anything special to record the videos? Is it something as simple as an iPhone or do you have an outboard mic? Where do you place the recording device? Is it placed...

    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    Will there be some kind of organized gathering, like a happy hour one of the nights? Or a morning coffee before the show starts?

    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    I'm curious if anyone knows if any of the following will be represented at the show...? I couldn't find them listed in the AXPONA link. I know that I probably am sounding pretty darn stupid by asking this, but I wonder if they might be being used in some room systems by other manufacturers...

    SET amp owners thread

    Yes, that indeed makes it very difficult. I really hope you will be able to post some videos of your system as it looks like it could really sound very impressive. I'll be spending 3 days at the upcoming AXPONA Show near Chicago in a couple of weeks. I tried to search thru the directory and I...
