40 Years of TryingYep, just rented a work van, so no seats, and drove them up there. I'm in SW VA, so it was about a 5 1/2 hours drive each way, but didn't have to worry about possible shipping damage. posted over 3 years ago | View comment | |

40 Years of TryingLike i said, I did the PS and the MVSS at once so I couldn't compare, but the bearing and MVSS should make for a huge improvement on their own.Best,Mike posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingYou pretty much have to send the whole table, with the exception of the loose parts like springs. They do drill the base, but my base is not granite. Talk to Jacques about it and see what they do w... posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingHi Gmorris,Do you have the Turbo mkII? I had the original Turbo and upgraded to the mkII. Since it was done at the same time as the MVSS, it's hard to say how much difference it made by its... posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |

40 Years of TryingSystem edited: Couldn't wait any longer and got two PLMM2x power cords for the 750Mcx amps. The stock cords were really strangling the amps. Although they sounded good, they now sound great. posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |

40 Years of TryingMore headroom and more power for the power hungry Apogee's. They are really hard to find though, so who knows if or when I will find one. posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingSystem edited: Just a couple of updates. I replaced my FPB600 with an FPB600C so that I could run CAST between the 202 pre and the amp. While I eventually want to find a 700CX or a pair of 750cx mo... posted about 10 years ago | View comment |
