Checking speed 331/3, 45
I bought a gadget from DHGate.com. It is a laser RPM reader. You stick a piece of reflective tape to the platter and point the laser at it and you will get an accurate reading. It cost something like $15 shipped.I've since just leave the tape on t... 
How good is the original Shelter 901?
In short, yes. I've been using a 901 for the past 10 years. Currently on my second one. I've heard the 501 Mk II at various friends' places.I would say that the 501 tends to sound "warmer". This could be that the 501 is not as extended on both end... 
Tell us your worst audio dealer or mfr. experience.
Do a search on PurePower in these forums, you will get all the details regarding their product and service.For years, all the magazines and industry heavyweights have pushed why we should support brick-and-mortar retailers. Well, I purchased a tur... 
Purepower APS a reliable product?
I've pretty much given up the hope that I will ever see my unit again at this point. 
Anyone going to RMAF this year?
I asked, and it was shut down quickly by the head of the household....FrankC 
New production EL84/6BQ5 tubes?
Yes. I had compared them to NOS tubes and found them, surprisingly, to sound very good. And I had a very negative preconception of the brand prior to trying them out due to their horrible reputation with 6DJ8/6922 tubes.The pair I had tried was le... 
Outriggers on Verity Audio Parsifals?
I had a very interesting discussion a few years back with the proprietor of now-defunct Virtual Dynamics cables on this specific target. In both of his demo rooms, he was using Parsifal Ovations as speakers. In one room, he had also used an amp th... 
Verity Parsifal Anniversary coming in 2 weeks
Not sure why Verity keeps expanding/diluting their lines, because the differences are not quite as apparent between the different models. It would have made more sense for the Amadis to replace the Parsifal Ovation all together.FrankC 
Verity speakers for $7k or less?
I've had my Parsifal Encores for about 7 years now. Some history about the Parsifal Encores. They were introduced in 1998-99. A new version of Scanspeak tweeters were installed from 2002 and onward. They retrofitted the tweeters on some older Enco... 
Beware purepower inc
Another recommendation is to submit a complaint against the company - PurePower APS with Ontario's Better Business Bureau to get these issues documented publicly, so that we can keep pressure on these manufacturers to act honorably.FrankC 
Purepower APS a reliable product?
Kskishore,When you get a chance, please go to the Better Business Bureau of Ontario and log in a complaint. It doesn't take too long. I think we need to keep pressure every way possible to keep these guys to be honest, and true to their words.FrankC 
Beware purepower inc
Earlier this year, I have filed a complaint with Ontario's Consumer Protection Agency. I've just found some information online regarding filing small claims. If you are in the same boat as me with your unit stuck at PurePower, please join me to fi... 
New cartridge no sound
The phono input on your Rotel preamp does not allow you to plug a turntable directly into it. You are suppose to plug your phonostage into it. In your case, you are suppose to plug the Scoutmaster into the phonostage, and your phonostage into your... 
Purepower APS a reliable product?
Just to keep this discussion alive as PP has been actively marketing their new products lately. I have the PP2000 with the same problem. After discussing with Damian back in July 2012 on the phone, he issued an RMA for me to send the unit back for... 
Michell Gyro SE-what arm?
Jon Michell used the SMEV in the development of the Gyro/Orbe. I've always used the SME V with my Orbe SE. Many users have also raved about the Orbe/Graham 2.2 combo as well as the Gyro/Moerch combo. I've acquired an used Graham 2.2 about 6 months...
