| Technics SL-1200MKII and AT-440MLa, very good I'm wondering if I'd benefit more from a cartridge upgrade or an external phono stage? | |
| Technics SL-1200MKII and AT-440MLa, very good I've read your post, but am going to ask anyway. I just took delivery of my KAB SL-1210 MK5, Shure M97xE, and after some very careful setup, am not too impressed with the sound at this point. This is replacing an old Yamaha tt in my garage rig. Ho... | |

| Speaker Footer Advise Please I'm on carpet over concrete slab. I had granite slabs custom cut so that I could experiment with different footers. I'm currently running Herbie's Big Black Dots between the speaker and granite with very good results. As stated, they are inexpensi... | |
| Calypso owners - question about muting & start-up As Bigtee has stated, realistically there is probably no risk powering off the unit while in standby using the rear power switch while amps are powered on. Actually, now that I think about it, I have powered off (volume at zero, mute on) via the r... | |
| Calypso owners - question about muting & start-up Well, the outputs are muted when coming out of standby, so one would think they are muted in standby. Still shouldn't be powering off with amps on though. Kinda hard to inadvertently bump that rear power switch, no? | |

| Who makes custom sized BB & granite slabs? Well, I've added the granite slabs and updated my system thread with some pics and comments. I am still playing with speaker placement, and will comment further here after this coming weekend... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 Markeef, glad you found this thread useful. Many of the decisions I've made regarding my system have come from knowledge gained from the forums here on Agon.I see I never did update this thread after I installed the Mullard 12ax7's and Amperex 692... | |
| Gain Tubes vs Output Tubes - Aesthetix Calypso I changed my gain tubes first, and the output tubes later. I'd have to say go for the gain stage first... | |
| Who makes custom sized BB & granite slabs? Don_s, will do...Sounds_real_audio, these slabs are being cut, edges/corners rounded and fully polished from a single piece of waste material. I feel that @ $140 per slab that it's a pretty fair price given the fact that I can't whip these up in m... | |

| Who makes custom sized BB & granite slabs? Lateguestsnomore, good tip on IKEA, and nice setup you have there.Don_s, perfectplank may be my best bet yet.Here is what I'm thinking of doing, and perhaps you'all can tell me if I'm wasting my time and money. I'm a big fan of isolation bearings,... |
