Hi Romy,I have no experience with Pass labs, but have been looking at his old Aleph 3 for some time with interest. Do you know this amp? I believe it is 50W class A and around 800$ typically on audiogon? If you want to spend a lot more my Tom E...

Perrew,I do not know if you use sarcasm in there but Lamm LP2 is not my bellowed phonostage. In fact I am one of the very few people whop do not like it at all. How much in what I do not like in Lamm LP2’s MM section com...

What do you know: I invested into my entertainment and subscribed “The Absolute Sound”. Sometimes it is really amusing to read this magazine. Those audio publications quite long time moved in my home from the “toilet reading” into the section where m...

This weekend I was told that there is a new power conditioner out there: Dmitri from Running Springs Audio. I never heard the company and have no idea that they are, what they do and what the stand for.

... it is a pity. There was so much useful information about it at Audiogon thread (...the brightest professors / technical Staff at Stanford University worked on it, it did beat all other serious turntables in noise & everything possible ...) an...

Thanks, unicon, I know nothing about the Wharfedale and I do not really looking for monitors anymore. In fact my monitor quest ended up to be catastrophe and if I know then what I know now I would not do it and would just buy off a pair of vintage ac...

Hello Romy and thank you for a fast replyYou are absolutely correct, but it's the question of money, which I don't have a lot of. Like we say in Russia - "Bednost ne porok, no bolshoe svinstvo" :-) So when I saw this one for $1000 (new Shelters are s...

Romy,there are box-speaker manufacturers that use exactly this approach, so nothing is so new about it. I think Karma and Evolution Acoustics speaker (also layered construction) come to mind, see below.As to CNC routering, it needs a CNC cutting ...

I'm shopping for a Dynavector DV-20X High Output MC. So far I've only been quoted $580 - 20% trade-in for my existing DV-10X5 cartridge = $460. But if I could get it cheaper, especially much cheaper, from an over-seas sou...

This thread is becoming more and more similar to threads in Audiogon and other look like sites.

I think I remember James saying that the center channel should be the strongest channel, and if this is the case he might not scrub the full 6 dB from the L+R "sum". James did say the device "corrects" for mistakes embedded in the original, wrongly-c...

If the setup is semi acceptable, after ten years one should lose the evaluation part of listening experience and treat the system like a kitchen radio or car playback and simply enjoy the music. I think ten years is a minimum to achieve the position ...

I've had rx5000 (with the ry5500 motor) for maybe 10-years now. Romy beat me to the comment that the person on audiogon that refers to these tables as tweeky and/or constantly in need of repair/missing parts has a clear agenda to sell something else!...

I've been reading these comments for years now, and it's getting pretty tired. So I think it's about time someone spoke up.I've done some work with Mr. Walker, I know the guy, and most importantly, I've ACTUALLY HEARD HIS TURNTABLE. It is a sonic wor...
