    New Diablo 333

    Redwick, have you got either of the modules installed in the 333? I had the PS2 phono in my 300 and then transplanted it into my Essence pre. The newer phono is supposed to be quite good isn't it? I see that it has xlr connectors, and also the dip switches are external - a great idea.

    New Diablo 333

    I imagine that you're absolutely right wrt to your comments regarding upgrade of the Pandora to Commander vs Mephisto to Apex. I've no plans to change to Apex. I'll certainly post some comments when I change to Commander, but as mentioned above - it's not an imminent upgrade. I actually want to...

    New Diablo 333

    If that's directed to me, then Mephisto - I part exchanged the Essence for the Mephisto. The Commander isn't an imminent upgrade though, just being planned.

    New Diablo 333

    Interesting comments redwick, please do post up more when you've had it for a few more days. I'd really like to hear the 333 as it seems to get positive press from what I've heard. I would expect the 333 to be a significant jump from the 300, as it should given the large price increase. I had...

    Help with Valhalla 2 1.75m DIN/LEMO tonearm cable

    You're right - definitely a rare beast to admit that you are happy with your system! As you should be, it looks great!

    HumminGuru - an inexpensive desktop RCM

    Quick update on ownership and pretty heavy use. The unit failed about a week ago: records were no longer turning, but the ultrasonic was working. I sent an email to the customer support with no real expectations. I have to say that I was very pleased to get an extremely rapid response, and...

    Help with Valhalla 2 1.75m DIN/LEMO tonearm cable

    That makes sense. If it were me, I'd just treat the Nordost cable as a bonus item and sell it as you were planning on doing, or just hang on to it in case you change your arm in the future (I just kept my previous Din to LEMO for that reason, but it's not a very expensive cable like yours). You...

    Help with Valhalla 2 1.75m DIN/LEMO tonearm cable

    So the TecnoArm must be RCA rather than Din? I had Din to LEMO with a Bergmann Modi turntable (Odin arm), but when I bought a Galder (also Odin arm) it came with RCA, so I needed another LEMO cable. Annoying. I had 2 LEMO connectors with my Pandora but no cables attached. I hope you get it...

    Help with Valhalla 2 1.75m DIN/LEMO tonearm cable

    Presumably you have the Legato card in your Pandora? I have the same setup and have found the LEMO connector a pain, and not one that I was expecting - just because I've needed to have cables specially terminated for it and assumed that it would be XLR for some reason (as the stand alone module...

    Any Bergmann "Galder" owners here ?

    It's good that the Modi is shipping with a record weight now. Mine definitely didn't have one and I felt that it was a bit of an oversight and really should be supplied with one. Slipmats, I tried the thin neoprene type one that it came with, then felt (which was fine), then cork (as can be seen...

    Any Bergmann "Galder" owners here ?

    Looks fantastic too! Love the black. Such a simple and elegant design. I went for the matt sliver alu/black for my Modi, but yours looks really nice in black/black, thank you for sharing a photo. Are you pleased with it? Hopefully you like it as much as I did mine - great bits of kit IMO. Out of...

    Any Bergmann "Galder" owners here ?

    I'm also in the UK, and my Galder signature and Odin also came from Nintronics - I absolutely love Bergmann products and was fortunate enough to have Johnnie himself come and set my turntable up at home! It is paired with a Hanna Umami red cartridge, which comes in well under 5k and I bought...

    Record Weights: Weight vs Material

    Presumably a clamp (threaded or similar fixation) doesn't need to be particularly heavy? It would seem intuitive that a weight would require a heavy material of some sort. I've used both threaded clamps and weights on the TT that I've had, and neither method really fixes the issues of a slightly...

    Any Bergmann "Galder" owners here ?

    Excellent - I hope that you're just as pleased with yours as I have been mine! That's tricky regarding the difference between Odin and Thor as I have only seen and heard Odin tonearms, on Modi, Galder, and Galder Signature turntables. Looking on the bergmann website there doesn't appear to be a...

    Any Bergmann "Galder" owners here ?

    I think that bergmann products are very solidly made, so presumably any failures are more likely to be with the power supply/air pump box (although this is pure speculation and it never crossed my mind that this was likely) - perhaps Philip O Hanlon or another dealer could give you some insight...
