Rockitman's SystemThanks for the link to Kessler's review. I like the technical reporting in Hi-Fi News. It seems like a most impressive turntable. posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Rockitman's SystemRockitman, I just reread MF's review in Stereophile. Man that table is full of technical features and seems very sophisticated. He describes the same sense of music exploding out of jet black backg... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Rockitman's SystemJust checked out the techdas link and noted the SME V-12 arm in the rear 12" position. Do the owners of this table have a preferred arm? I've also seen the Durand Telos on the Techdas. I would... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
On the Quest of Audio Heaven.Raul, Will you be taking your new tonearm design to RMAF this year as I read in one of the forums? I look forward to its introduction and learning more about it? posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Sublime SoundThanks for the kind words, Dayglow. As you can see from the photos, this room also serves as our living room, so the chair and lamp must remain. The chair does help to absorb some sound as it reach... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Rockitman's SystemChristian, I look forward to reading your thoughts about how the Pass XP 25 compares to your new H5000. Do you plan to do a direct comparison using the same table/arm/cartridge/cable? posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

Sublime SoundThank you very much for the kind words, Raindog. I really enjoy listening to music now as the system has come a long way in the last three years. I may upgrade to the XP25 and XP30 someday ... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Parmenter SoundJason, I forgot to ask. Could you comment on the sonic differences between the SME and the Technics SP10 mk 2 & 3? Thanks. posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Parmenter SoundThanks Jason. I did find the page and read the comments. I agree that the SME 30/12 is a true statement/reference turntable system. I noticed significant improvement when I switched form the AirTig... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Parmenter SoundThat is an interesting comment. Albert Porter is a dealer for some of the brands he has listed on his system page. Nobody seems to mind it in that case. I guess he is less overt than Jason is and t... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |

Albert Porter's SystemAlbert, wow, 1000 hours. That's half way to a cartridge retip. I guess if I ever buy another pair of speakers, I'll have to add a digital player for the break in process. Sort of like you consideri... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |

Albert Porter's SystemAlbert, I use a similar laser. I have a dot on the wall directly behind my listening seat. You could use a tripod in an open room. I then have a tape with 1/2" lines going left and right of th... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemMike, Thanks for your response. I was not aware that the Audio Desk "can leave a bit of small grit." That may explain what I'm hearing and why I have always thought a final rinse with a p... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemMike, Are you saying that if an LP is really noisy, you first try the Audio Desk and then if that does not work, you rely on the Loricraft to get the job done? I thought users were reporting that t... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemThat MK3 Rosewood with twin V-12s is simply gorgeous. Thanks for posting the photo, Albert. posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemThis machine seems much more promising than the Audio Desk if only because of the brushes and squeegee that don't seem to work that well or completely dry the LP, at least in my experience. I love ... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Rockitman's SystemJason, You must mean the XS 150 and not the XS 150.5. I'm not yet aware of any ".5" update to this model. Christian, I had the pleasure of hearing my XA160.5 with a pair of Sasha ... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |

Mike Lavigne's SystemMike, that is all very interesting. I'm curious though about the addition of a second isolation, i.e. the A10 footers with the Herzan. You had previously posted that you felt that to optimize the H... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment |
