[quote user="Romy the Cat"]We are at severe devaluation of reference points and nowadays any Moron with a rudimental knowledge of HTML and a few vocal cronies can become a “reputed manufacturer”. [/quote]Hi Romy, it is even worse. Based on the high n...

After more than 10 years of using the Micro Seiki MAX-282 tonearm I realized that if it is my second stereo arm then why I presume it shall have Second Sound? I have properly performing mono and stereo arms and I have a dally arm. The Daily arm is a ...

[quote user="Paul S"]But why would you consider brass connectors because of 95% of boutique RCA if the idea is to wind up with the best signal path?[/quote]Of course not because of that! The ideal would be the connector I've shown but made with pure ...

[quote user="Wojtek"] Stich , your own complains about aforementioned arms (Schroeder mostly) was "no highs , no lows " . Pretty primitive way to judge a productfrom a sophisticated listener like yourself. Since you seem to have unlimited budget , ...

Just a few lines to the "Performance" of this piece of wood on strings for 7k $I listened to the Schroeder Reference + SQ and some custom made ones which were normally not available (Schroeder model blahblah with Valhalla cable etc.)(of course you ca...

Romy,
I don't know if you have seen this effort by a gentleman in Greece. As I said, I'm not really a fan of the high mass approach. (I've listened to a few but generally find them tonally unbalanced) This design seems to take that approach qui...

Since my “End of Life" Phonostage have materialized I got exposed to a temptation of finding a “right” cable between my tonearm to the phonostage. The most critical cable between the step-up transformer and phonostage does not exist in my system anym...

Possible, with all my conversation about Mantis I do not remember I ever made any guess or assumption how it might sound. In horns, I feel I am qualified to make sometimes very bold assessments with very high prece...

This new “Rev B” Ortofone Jubilee surprised me with it amassing agreeability
I have a nasty habit to emphasize in my listening attention the things that I do not appreciate. I might listen something, would it be amp, or speaker, or live event,...

Wow, price inflation in TTs were a lot worse than I thought! (more than 400% in nominal prices in the example of Goldmund).
You are right, the prices in audio seem a riddle wrapped in a mystery within an enigma. As a manufacturer, it is almost...

I have 4 arms on my TT: reference stereo, romantic stereo, mono and the “shitty” arm. The “shitty” arm is Grado Reference platinum needle with SME M2-12 arm. It is not shitty arm but it has shitty purpose in my setup. When I buy records I pay the...

[quote user="DHT4ME"] … Suspensions either harden or soften. [/quote]
Actually I know everything (:-) about the suspension and VTA. I can hear VTA very well. In fact contrary to what people say the Shelters are very sensitive to VTA. My feeling is t...

"Bugger dogma!". Romy is quite right challenging my obeisance to the Series 1. These things are so rare and when found are likely to be in a somewhat less than pristine condition.
However, it is not only the arm tube that is more massive but the ...

Since Sound in new home is mostly set I kind lost interest to do anything “project-wise”. I play my music and I gradually tune ingredients to get the sonic mixture that I accustom to. Last two week I was slowly playing with my analog setup. Since...
