| Found Great Seller - Plinth for Technics 1200 GAE Mine fits nicely @avanti1960. I used an architect/engineer rule in metric and provided the craftsman a photo. He kept the tolerances down to about 2mm so you can remove or install the box at your leisure. Perfect! | |
| Found Great Seller - Plinth for Technics 1200 GAE @atmasphere , thank you for your technical correction. @jmolsberg, I do. I need to update my system picks. I'll try tonight. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i I'm so done with my R800i. China Hifi no longer responds to me. They shipped me two new bias boards as my right side pot was going nuts. I opened the unit up to install them. Guess what? The one on the left is a relatively painless surgery. T... | |
| Experience with Modwright products? @hasmarto- That’s a great question. Unfortunately no, I haven’t. I regrettably sold that unit. It was delightful. | |
| Experience with Modwright products? Modwright sounds a lot like Manley when you need service or help. Just super. That’s music to my ears. | |
| Experience with Modwright products? Thank you all for the feedback! I must say that I'm super impressed with these products. I would love to buy them from my dealer friend--not sure I can afford them or want to spend this much. But taking them out of my system won't be easy. ... | |
| Experience with Modwright products? Thank you everyone! I really appreciate your views and time. I really wish I didn’t like this change so much! | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i 120mA is not the ideal bias point. It is the max bias. I contacted the company to confirm this. The manual is ambiguous in this regard. I find 80-110 mA to be good. One of my bias pots failed me. The company mailed me two new ones. The surgery t... | |
| Let the Games Begin Very interesting video! | |
| Auricap XO vs ClarityCap CSA I like them both. I think the CSA line might not be a fair comparison. I'd compare Clarity's CMR line with Auricap. BUT, the CMRs are more expensive. | |
| A previous discussion included a statement about crossover components. @peporter , Yes, the quality of caps in the crossover network can and often does yield differences. Sometimes changing them out doesn’t sound any better--just different. Other times, it can be pretty darn significant of an improvement. My favor... | |
| Too powerful of an amp!? True @carlsbad2 ! So very true. I powered KEF LS50s with a 300B amp! (8 watts) If you don't listen loud, a low powered amp won't be harmful. The other consideration with a low powered amp is lack of headroom. | |
| Have you heard the Goldring Ethos Cartridge? It's been another week of playing records with the Goldring Ethos. It settled down very quickly. After the initial 5-20 hours, it's broken in-from what I can tell in my confirmation bias/subjective mind. :). I don't hear it changing now. What a... | |
| Too powerful of an amp!? Great advice above. We are all reconciling the following truisms: Never under power loudspeakers if you can avoid it. Too little power can damage speakers. When buying amps, don't forget when you buy a 400W mono block, or the like, that it... | |
| New Cartridge Causing Intermittent Popping Bill, your problem would make me go mad for sure! It takes patience, diagnostics, logic, and luck to get out of these situations. I was also concerned about the Chinook. I'm pretty confident in my skills, but I was concerned something happened ... |
