A local audio recently bought a tonearm form a small Lithuania manufacturer. They have a web site, a but foolish in navigation but it is what it is:

[quote user="Gibraltar"]I recently picked up a MAX-282 tone arm and when setting it up with my test record I'm getting buzzing in the right channel during the bias test tracks. Changing the anti-skating setting has no audible effect. On other arm...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]What is the problem ? Listening to the, for example, rca victor red-seal recordings of CSO /Reiner I hear midbass weight, presence and realism that I do not have with the shelter. It is not the pushing forward or highl...

The “best midrange comes from compression drivers”. I see somebody like Haralanov would be very much opposed to this comment. The irony is that I would be opposed as well to this comment. I would say that the best midrange at over 107dB sensitiv...

I always advocate that a civilized audio-practicing person must have one playback. I very much did not like the Morons who have multiple duplicating amplifier, speakers and multiple listening rooms. For sure they all produce slightly different fl...

I was playing with Jubilee and kind of turn to like. It is might not be the best needle that fulfill all aspects of my sick imagination but it is very-very good cartridge that I have not too much compliance. In fact there is a certain growth on what&...

Since the 2007-2008 alchemic music season and consequentially live FM season was over (the event I marked with my “End of the live Phonostage”) I have been spinning a lot of vinyl lately. So, I spent some time with different phono cables with my diff...

I did not see, thanks for pointing it out. As I said before Cessaro is
probably the most sensible company who makes horn loaded loudspeakers today and
I have comment on this Gamma model. This is a smaller version of Cessaro with new bass horn. It i...

I think I have had enough time with this phono stage now to make a few remarks about it. In keeping with the spirit of this website I am not recommending this component, just reporting on it.

Amy told me that when she first time visited me my room appeared to her like an interrogation facility: large room with bunch of equipment and a single chair in the middle. I understand where she got the idea from but I loved that free standing s...

[quote user="Paul S"]Well, they got John Curl's name on it, and it's "machined from a billit", 2-chasses, yadda, yadda. It also features the "new wave" balanced/presumed- differential topology and a "mystery"/proprietary (presumed discrete) firs...

[quote user="mem916"]I never tried the Onyx. I had an Urushi, then a Jade, and now a Coralstone. No I didn't buy any of them in the US so I paid a lot less than the crazy retail prices people throw around. I only know one person personally who...

As Tony points out, there are some digital cards with supposedly good
converters in them. The Lynx Studio LynxTwo or Lynx L22 cards are
said to work well. But the computer IS a very noisy environment, and
the idea of converters in it scares ...

[quote user="Lx_"] The second sentence is my own conclusion. It was not my intention to imply that it is yours, sorry for the misunderstanding this may have caused. We both agree that PP can be sensitive to incoming AC. The context and circumstan...

People frequently ask me what would be a good speaker to buy for $5.000, for $10.000 for $20.000 for $50.000 and so on. The more I think about it looking at the park of available loudspeakers the more I come to the observation that there are no good ...

I did not mean to go but last night at 6.30PM I looked again at the program and realized that they substituted the “selections of music from Latin America” to Beethoven 7 Symphony. That brought the concert into very different legion, making it very a...

Hi Thorsten,
Interesting preamp ideas.
The Silvaweld is also using some rather interesting ideas. For
example, the power supply is all tube (ie. rectrifier and regulator)
with a large choke as well for filtering and using a 300b as the hi...
