Some tunes from members of The Jazz Epistles including all star trumpeter, Hugh Masekela. Well known South African Jazz group but rarely heard here in USA.
This member from Audioexotics forum seems to think the battery made a big difference.
This chassis on top of the computer is the battery power supply for the computer and motor control. Alvin of Grand Prix Audio spent over a year to develop it for Monaco analog turntable. After connection and...
“Antipodes? Just too out there for me.”
not sure what you mean by this statement. Lots of Antipodes owners on this site (including me) and dont recall anyone describing it this way
Neil Young and Crazy Horse at the Roxy Theater in West Hollywood. 50 year anniversary of the Roxy. Young and Crazy Horse played at the opening 50 years ago. Concert played two complete Young and Crazy horse albums
The new Magico S3 was on my short list for a possible future purchase. I have not had the opportunity to hear them but all the reviews have been stellar. However, watching this thread I may have to look elsewhere. Although I understand the need for run in to get best sq, the descriptions of what...
First look at the GPA Monaco 3.0 by Roy Gregory. compares 2.0 to 3.0. Don’t think he used new battery. Full review to follow.

Excerp from review:
The improvement was as obvious as it was shockingly effective. The increase in dynamic range and resolution, the...
Like most readers of this forum, I started my audio odyssey with modestly priced entry level components. I Thoroughly enjoyed the musical experience at this level while recognizing improvements in sq and musical experienice we’re possible with better (more expensive) equipment. But audio became...
I would highl recommend getting custom molds for you ear piece. I recently had these made and it really makes a noticeable improvement. I would also recommend seeing an audiologist that specializes in musicians and audiophiles. If you live anywhere near the LA area you should see Dr Julie Glick...
I had the Urushi Wajima prior to my Blue Lace. The Wajima was a big step up from my Black, especially in the bass frequencies. I really liked the Wajima. Unfortunately the Blue lace is much better for me, especially when listening to orchestral pieces where the definition and separation of...
Nice in depth write up of DG Original source series

Maybe I should cancel the Esoteric copy and just keep the Speakers Corner version. Also, FYI, DG just refunded me 15 euros because of the crushed box. Albums played fine so decided to keep them.
It’s hard to understand how a company as large as DG can’t figure out how to securely ship boxes overseas. Glad to hear your albums were good. Please share how you like the Dvorak Speakers Corner lp. I had ordered it but Havnt received it yet and then ended up ordering the Esoteric version as...
Well isn’t this special. After waiting almost a month from the time the albums left Germany, I received them today in a crushed box. The records amazingly came through somewhat ok except for slightly bent corners. I sent DG a note asking them to send replacement albums but not sure if I have to...
Interestingly, I just received the Schubert I ordered through Amazon, even though it was released for sale today while the DG albums shipped over a week ago, I’m very pleased with the performance and the SQ is beautiful. I still haven’t received the two I did order very early from DG. I’m in...
I found this on Library of Congress website. They show technician using tergitol
https://www.loc.gov/collections/national-jukebox/articles-and-essays/making-the-jukebox/?st=slideshow#slide-6
I use Tergikleen (tegritol mix) and I had read somewhere that the USA Libraries of Congress uses Tergitol for their restoration and cleaning of records. Kirmuss told me they no longer use it so I sent them a note and as a few years ago when I wrote them they indicated they still use it . I sent...
I’ve had a day to listen to the new rig and I can sum it up by just saying it’s spectacular, almost like listening to live music. The bass is solid and palpable, imaging and sound stage are like nothing I’ve heard before. It’s just bigger in all dimensions compared to the AMGViella. Cymbal...
