Linear Tracking or Not?, Any Experiences and Recs
I have an ET2 on my Teres 255 with a Shelter 901, it the best I have ever had and sounds great all the way to the end of the record. Linear tracking tonearms sound best because this is the way the records were cut to begin with and it only makes s... 
Plitron Transformer for Counterpoint Amp
I bought the Plitron tranny from Alta Vist Audio and did my own upgrades. The upgrades I did were nice but once I got the Plitron tranny it just lifted the sound of the preamp to a whole new level that sounds really really nice. I recommend this u... 
Linear Tracking Turntables
You haven't heard anything until you hear one of these tonearms like the ET2 or the other air bearing tonearms out there. I think there is one called the MG-1 and it goes around $500. You can find a Technics SP-10, SP15, or SP25 if you don't want ... 
Schematics for compact cassette deck's
I would first start with upgrading the parts in the deck. If it uses IC's I would look to upgrade those and upgrade the power supply caps, rectifier, in line resistors in the power supply, all caps resistors in the signal from input to output, and... 
What Digital Stylus Force Gauge Do You Like?
jig that would hang off to the side of the record and measure the the weight at the record level. The Scale was only around $30 and the parts I used to make the jig were only a few dollars. This turned out to be way better than the Shure and reall... 
Linn LP 12 Problem.......
I had an Linn LP12/Valhalla, I would suggest that you take it to a Linn Dealer/TT specialist because that Vahalla board has high Voltage and if you don't know what you're doing and don't know the general saftey rules for working on high voltage ge... 
Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke?
That I have upgraded to crossovers, binding post, and internal speaker wire. These sounded OK before the upgrade but now sound really nice with most gear, very nice on strings, vocal, and horns.Steve. 
Just got my Nak Dragon - Wow
I had a Nak Dragon for 6 years and recently sold it but what's surprises me is that I don't miss it. The Nak Dragon is a fine deck but its way too finicky and that NAAC which is nice can be a pain in the behind. I had mine serviced at nakamichi in...

Clearaudio v. Teres
Hi Dougdeacon,Thank You for the reply and info. How's it going? Do you still have your Shelter 901? I checked out the ad and even with these discounts its still too high for me because I have to cool it on the expensive toys for awhile, while I fi... 
Clearaudio v. Teres
Hi Cello,In response to your reply on 05-12-05. How much do the ZYX Airy 2 and Airy 3 go for? I may check this out because I have an extra armtube for the ET2 and I could swamp it out quickly for direct comparison. What is the complaince for this ... 
Good match for Eminent Technology ET2 tonearm?
I have an ET2 tonearm on a Teres 255 with a Shelter 901 and it sounds great. There are quite a few people that have this combo and it seems to be a great match.Steve. 
Linn Sondek LP-12 happy/un-happy owners
I used to own an LP12 with the Cirkus and Valhalla upgrades, I was never really satisfied with it. I sold my LP12 and bought a Teres 255/ET2/Shelter 901 and have not looked back. I have had the Teres for about 2 years now I'm very happy with it an... 
Clearaudio v. Teres
I have a Teres 255 Lacquered Rosewood with a ET2 linear tracking tonearm and Shelter 901 cartridge and I wouldn't trade it anything. This is the first time that I have had a turntable that I wasn't thinking of doing an upgrade to it, I have been v...
