| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon Hmmm, that’s interesting. I have the latest catalog but did not look at the tonearm section. I already own two SME Vs, but this would be good news for anyone wanting to purchase a new in box SME. I did a quick search on the Music Direct web site a... | |
| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon @lewm I agree, Transrotor was in a bind by not having SME tonearm/turntable bundles anymore. I am not sure if Transrotor baselined and tested their turntables with SME arms. It would only make sense if they did. I know when I purchased my Trans... | |
| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon @mijostyn Yes, that tonearm deserves a turntable that will match with its character. The Oracle sure has the looks, but, so does my Transrotor. I think it will be a perfect match with the Apollon TMD. I am glad you highlighted those specs bec... | |

| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon Yes, I did in fact deliberate on this decision for quite some time. Although I love the SME Vs and V12s, they lacked the ability to make azimuth adjustments. I could live with the set and forget form factor and design of the SMEs as they have simp... | |
| Does Kronos Sparta turntable come with a tonearm? I think if you look here and at audio mart you will find options for turntables in your price range with your requirements. If I wanted to sell my Transrotor, it would be listed here and other places. | |
| Back to Teo Audio cables as my last stand. If these cables are so wonderful, why don’t they publish prices on their website? I cannot locate prices at all. If they are supposed to be giant killers and a good purchase in terms of costs relative to other higher expensive products, I would as... | |

| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? @runwell ”Are you working with McIntosh” No, why would I? I will work with a dealer, of my choosing, if I choose to get the MC3500. | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? @runwell “Congratulation! I can feel your happiness! What is your preamplifier? The pre in your system must be well matched.” My preamp is the Octave Jubilee from Germany which costs substantially more than the Mc2301s. I listened to... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? @runwell I really get your sentiment regarding an amp being able to reproduce that live your are there feeling. I have had my share of SS amps over the years and some Euro tube amps as well. These were all mated to B&W 800s. When I p... | |
| Gamut Lobster Chair @dcpillai, Yes, if you are concerned about hearing precise fidelity at the listening position from most normal sized Speakers with typical low, midrange, and tweeter configuration. It has been recommended, suggested, and tested with results to... | |
| McIntosh C12000 It's only 2 chassis vs 3, has handles, and configurable phono for either MM or MC cartridges. The phono change was vastly different from previous versions where both phono inputs were fixed without variable settings to match a wider variety of car... | |
| Measuring Turntable Platter Speed I use the Clearaudio strobe disc. I think it is somewhat expensive, but you can use either side, one for standard household lights, or the other side with the optional Clearaudio strobe meter, which is definitely expensive. https://elusivedisc... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! You should have went to the Overture Audio room and listen to the first world wide public debut of the new B&W 801D4s paired with McIntosh MC901 amps. That was a great listen and the MC allowed some of us to pick digital tunes from the Aurende... |
