    Alexx V arrive in NJ

    I’d like to add to Marty’s post having also all too briefly hosting Mark at my home during his US visit. First, however, I’d like to thank Marty and his lovely wife Lisa for inviting me to their home for an incredibly delicious meal and listening session of the newly upgraded Helix. Having never...

    What comes first: listening chair placement or speaker placement?

    I’ve seen very little discussed on this specific topic, but welcome your thoughts. Also, if the listening chair placement is first, how do you go about it? Thanks.

    Question on using a digital oscilloscope for cartridge alignment

    If any expert users of AnalogMagik in the NY tri-state area wouldn’t mind me observing a cartridge install, I’d appreciate it. I really want to become more proficient (and efficient) with using my V1 kit. Please let me know. Thanks.

    Analog Magik

    I thought the zenith function was only available on V2? Out of curiosity, what do you use to set anti-skate and azimuth? Thanks.

    How did you install the calibration file on your iPad? I’m too stupid to figure it out. Thanks.

    'ShaknSpin' and 'ShaknSpin2' Turntable Analysers

    The KAB strobe disc is a little larger than a 45 rpm record, so I just place it on top of a 33 rpm record while playing songs on the outer tracks to account for stylus drag.

    Rewire Breuer Tonearm?

    Does anyone know if it’s possible to rewire a Breuer 8C MkII? I really don’t like having to use a junction box with this arm and would prefer a single run from tonearm clips to RCAs. Thanks.

    Modern speakers vs Vintage speakers

    I’m using an XLS on my subs and am very curious what amps you believe improve upon its SQ. Also, do these other amps have x-over and DSP capabilities? Thanks.

    Visit to Audiophile Bill to hear his horns project

    These are my horns and they are definitely not $300K, but they do use a field coil midrange driver. Since I do not have room for the butterfly wing baffles in my installation, Jeffrey built me folded baffle subs each with an 18" driver that blend seamlessly with the horns. Otherwise, they're...

    One of the best Direct Drive : Kenwood L-07 D

    Hi All, I have long admired the L-O7 D from afar and was very tempted by the one for sale in the link below (no relation to seller or sale). So, I took the dog for a long walk and came to my senses, but thought another WBF member, especially in Europe, would like to know about it. Best, Evan...

    Natural Sound

    Congrats Peter. That's a beautiful system. I've always wanted to visit David in Utah, especially if I could combine it with a ski vacation, but now I see it could be quite dangerous to my wallet.

    SETs and Horns

    Don't forget the Type 50s. I'm currently listening to Cunningham 50s through my 107db horns and it sounds marvelous.

    Top Vintage system

    I really enjoyed my Naimed LP12 fronted active Linn Isobariks. A super fun system to listen to, especially given the music I was listening to at the time.

    FINALLY Found A Listening Chair I Want

    Thanks for the heads up. That particular chair is not available in the US anyway. I’m vertically challenged and it’s very difficult to find a comfortable chair with a shallow seat depth.
