    The new audiophile vinyl series The Original Source from Deutsche Grammophon (AAA)

    Let me answer my own question. I have asked Horch house and got an answer from Volker. Here it is below; We have used the 2 track masters from the past. But Christoph Stickel at csmastering (grammy nominiee) made a analog refurbishing. www.csmastering.com I decided to get those tapes and if I...

    The new audiophile vinyl series The Original Source from Deutsche Grammophon (AAA)

    Does anyone have experience with Horch House master Tapes for Steinberg's Planets and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. How they fare against the original source vinyl release. Tape is generally better but if the 2ch master for original source is the better one, it will still top the tape according to my...

    Kuzma cart differences: CAR30-40-50?

    I had a Car-40 that I bought as a package with Stabi M and 4-point arm. I really liked it and enjoyed it and it can be a very comfortabşle choice if the price is right. I have then used Miyajima Madake which I liked more and then a Miyabi Fuuga. I very much prefer my Miyabi Fuuga now to these...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    I haven't received mine. It is now close to 15 months overdue. He has answered an email of mine lately and told me he will send me a tonearm. He attached a few photos from his latest tonearm design but no details on when he is going to send me mine...

    DaVa FC-A1 a field coil contender

    Yes, and it has a microridge stylus. I was always wondering why they have chosen conical and not a more advanced profile. I think if they kept the rest of the qualities and could put in the more advance profile, it is great. It also has lower tracking force which is good for the collection...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    Can someone explain this to me? My tonearm is more than a year overdue as well as lots of others but there is one for sale on facebook. I tried to write message on the sale but it didn't let me.

    DaVa FC-A1 a field coil contender

    My dava project is still going on but I did not finish gathering all the items yet. As some of you know, I did not receive my tonearm from Alfred Bokrand so I went ahead and bought a very special tonearm from Eugene Komissarov. It is now ready, so I guess I will have it in a month or so. I also...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    Just to let others in the loop, I still have not received my tonearm. About 2 weeks ago Alfred told me he will send me his new improved tonearm in 10 work days and I should feel lucky to get the improved arm at this price. To be frank I would have felt more lucky if I received what I have...

    I bought mine from jpc.de and they have shipped yesterday, I hope to listen to this next week! It was a no brianer for me as I love what they have done with Ma Vlast.

    Seismion - new active isolation platform from Germany

    I am just hearing it, I have not made any measurements. The effect is positive for me as the sound of the record gets a slightly better definition over the frequency spectrum, kind of less background. The more interesting part for me is the sound becoming a little more effortless but at the...

    Seismion - new active isolation platform from Germany

    Well, the sound is good, and the effect is positive but as of yet, I think these kind of investments are worth it if you already are happy with your room and equipment. I got one as I want to test it between different types of TT and electronics. I have a personal system at home that I am...
