Romy, thank you for the very useful info. You have given me hope! When I contacted CEC in Japan a year or two ago asking to let me buy replacement lasers (as many as I could) they said no (they did say they will repair the unit if it ever fails - if ...

I'm not sure exactly what I expected from swapping the digital cable at this point, but what I got was not it.Before I bought the Belkin Synopsis cable I just swapped out, I had sought out and purchased an Acoustic Revive cable, on the strength o...

While seeking for a CD capable of covering a low mid range, say from 300hz or under, I am offered a pair of TOA compression drivers of rather impressive size. Unfortunatelly a seller has no clue what model it is, except "it sounds as seducing as ...

Since I am living with the assumption that the technology you have used is far from dated I have cannot wait to hear what you have in mind for your audio future.Since my selfish nature longs to hear what you have acheived, assuming you would allow me...

It seems like lots of folks use parts to try to tune/voice their systems, and the V-Caps are just another option, IMO. No matter what people think of new parts as they break them in, they will eventually tire of the overall sound from...

Really, it is kind of strange that there is no good Chinese (at least know to me) recording companies. There is a huge number of good or sometimes even near-great Chinese musicians around the world and there is a nice positive momentum on academic mu...

Yep, the Toscanini performance was a big surprise to me as well. Interestingly he does not play it as I would like Buckner generally, it is too “artistically expressive”, good only for Rimsky-Korsakov or Ravel but… still the way how Toscanini’s orche...

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

The Mravinsky’s and his orchestra trip to Austria in 1960 and this recording of the last 3 Tchaikovsky’s Symphonies are well known. I am sure any of us have a number of Italian pressed box-sets with 3 records of this performance. Yes, the Mravinsky’s...

Yes the first movement is killer in that Brahms.
For Tchaikovsky’s 4, 5 and 6th the Leningrad/Mravinsky is altogether fine, especially the latest Japanese release of “The Originals”. The mono releases from mid 50s are better, and especially the 6th...

Best contact Ortofon in Denmark and arrange through them (unless you bought through a US dealer).
They will send you another one on receipt of the damaged one.
Charge you replacement cost for it though - compare with Japanese price for new.
