    AF3P pump / power supply unit

    Hi joeling Congratulations on buying the AF3P, I recently went with a friend to one of our local high end brick & mortar shops and listened to that exact table, all I can say is..... WOW! That was, in imho, one of, if not the best tables I have ever heard. I’m sure the tonearm & cartridge had a...

    Bionic Cables

    Hi cd45123 I am loving the Fidelium speaker cables. To my ears, and in my system, they just do everything right. From top to bottom, they are remarkable. I have no desire to try other speaker cables. Take care. Best regards Scot

    Center Stage 2

    Hi everyone I just bought a set of the Critical Mass System’s footers CS2M’s (I put them under my Pass Labs XA30.8 amp) and I would never remove them. Once you’ve heard what they can do, you won’t want to be without them. We’ve all tried many of the footers over the years and some were better...

    Are there any members who own or have listened to the Korf tonearm?

    David Thank you for letting me know that the 1st batch of Korf tonearms has not yet been released. I read that the 1st batch was sold out, I didn’t know they had not been released yet. It seems like they’ve really done their research. However, we both know the proof is in how they sound. I hope...

    Are there any members who own or have listened to the Korf tonearm?

    Hi everyone I read with great interest about the Korf tonearm. It appears that they’ve researched most aspects of tonearm design and come up with some interesting solutions. Are there any members that own one of these arms or have at least heard one? I would be interested in your opinions...

    Christmas gift is at the door, new turntable to be set up!

    Hi nickif Congratulations! Absolutely gorgeous, and oh, by the way, it also plays lp’s, even better. Are there any dealers in the USA? I know Mike L loves his table and arm and I’m sure you will get many years of enjoyment out of yours as well. The entire system is stunning. Use it in good...

    Which geometry do you prefer, Loefgren A, Loefgren B, Baerwald, Stevenson, Unidin? And why.

    Hi everyone I’ve noticed that many members on this website use Acoustical Systems Smartractors. Which tonearm geometry do you prefer and why? Have you tried Deitrich Brakemeier’s own Uni-Din? If so how did it compare to the other options? Loefgren A, Loefgren B, Baerwald, Stevenson, Uni-Din...

    Yellowstone Season 4 Official Trailer | Paramount Network

    Hi Steve I couldn’t agree with you more regarding Yellowstone. Certainly one of my favorite shows. I don’t know if you watched it in 2019 there was a tv show, developed by Taylor Sheridan, called the Last Cowboy. This show was about some of the best competitive trainers and riders in the fierce...

    diamond has come loose in my cantilever, ideas to repair ??

    Hi everyone I think we can all learn a very valuable lesson here. This is a perfect example of why a reputable trustworthy dealer is so important. I know a lot of people who, for what ever reason, buy off the internet quite often. I realize that good brick & mortar high end audio stores are...

    Smooth musical cabling suggestion

    Hi everyone I am not saying you will always get the best performance using the same complete loom of cables from the same manufacturer. We all know, there’s always something out there that’s going to outperform whichever cable you use. I’m a big believer in trusting your own ears. Nothing beats...

    diamond has come loose in my cantilever, ideas to repair ??

    Brucebw I’m very sorry to hear that. How old is that cartridge? I would DEFINITELY not try to “fix” it yourself. You could make things worse. The second you try to do anything, you lose all hope of having the manufacturer fix it. I would send an email or call Peter Lederman at Soundsmith, he...

    What turntables do you use? Pictures would be nice as well :-)

    Hi noregrets My first high end table was the venerable LP12. I had a Naim Aro tonearm, a Naim Prefix phono stage that mounted under the bottom of the LP12 and a Supercap for the Prefix (even my dealer did a double take when I told him to order me a Supercap for the Prefix) and the cartridge was...

    What turntables do you use? Pictures would be nice as well :-)

    Hi Christensenleif Awesome picture! My favorite thing in that picture though is the myriad of wires draped over the banister! Where do all those go? What is the name brand of the two wooden tonearms? Not familiar with them. Take care. Best regards Scot

    What turntables do you use? Pictures would be nice as well :-)

    I do remember the La Luce tables, one of the most stunningly beautiful tables at any price. No pictures? I would love to see it again. Are they still in business? Take care. Best regards Scot

    Analog Magik

    Bruce My fault, I forgot to mention that he sends you a protractor to make sure the pivot to spindle distance is spot on. I would imagine this would be for the overhang. Regarding the various alignments (Baerwald, Loftgren or Unidin) that’s on my list of questions I plan on asking him. The...

    Nagra Debuts its New Reference Anniversary Turntable/Tonearm Record Playback System

    Hi everyone On the Nagra turntable, the platter is sold separately at a cost of $85K! Relax, just kidding. You really do have to laugh though, I love the TechDAS AF Zero, at $450K, you don’t get the better platter!! This hobby is getting crazy. God bless the people who can afford these tables...

    Analog Magik

    Hi Bruce I was also skeptical at first. I sent JR Boisclair an email through wallyanalog.com and gave him my phone number. He called me and we spoke on the phone for over an hour. He’s a very nice guy. He could explain the process to you way better than I can. When you get the cartridge and...

    Yellowstone Season 4 Official Trailer | Paramount Network

    I agree, the first four episodes of Yellowstone, season four was just awesome. I cannot wait for the next episode to see what happens. Who ever cast Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton was a genius. I couldn’t imagine any other actress doing a better job. Wouldn’t want to piss off Cole Hauser who plays...

    Analog Magik

    Hi BruceBW Have you read about the cartridge alignment service JR Boisclair of Wallyanalog is offering? You can read all about it in the most recent Stereophile magazine. Michael Fremer explains it in his Analog Corner column. To my knowledge, it's a pretty unique service. Basically you send...

    Emm labs DA2 v2 upgrade

    Hi everyone Why is it that most manufacturers ship products that require extensive burn in hours? Would it kill them to put a few hundred hours on these products? Is it the cost of the electricity around the country/world? If a product sounds “terrible” when first hooked up, don’t you think...

    Smooth musical cabling suggestion

    Hi Thieliste I spoke to Jeffrey about one week ago (via email) and asked him that same question. He told me he was working on them but no solid release date yet. I’m a big proponent of a matched loom when it comes to speaker wire, interconnect and power cords. In my experience this has always...

    Smooth musical cabling suggestion

    Hi Thieliste I don’t know about the interconnects but I do have a recommendation for the speaker wires. After much research on both this forum and reading every review I could find, and especially after watching Greg Weaver’s Youtube video, I decided to give these speaker wires a try. The name...

    Adele concert last night on CBS

    Hi Steve I agree. She’s never looked better and you can tell she’s also happier. Her voice sounded great and her band, the backup singers and the orchestra sounded wonderful. Not a bad setting either. If you’re into pop music, she’s a brilliant songwriter and man can she sing. She’s a class...
