Lyra : World class service
Hi Johnathon, My dealer was told it would be quicker turnaround time getting my Kleos rebuilt rather than using mine towards a credit on a new kleos. My dealer was told 10 to 12 weeks for the rebuild and longer if I choose a new Kloes. My cartridg... 
Lyra : World class service
I am having my Kleos rebuilt now by Lyra. I have an internal problem with the cartridge. I am the 2nd owner. It is costing me just $100 over 1/2 price of a new one to rebuild it. I consider basically half price for total rebuild is good value. I d... 
Audio Eden & Lack of Response - Anyone Else?
Agreed with Brf, very strange. I have been talking to Audio Eden for a couple of days by email about an equipment purchase and always receive fast responses. As for cross border purchasing. I learned the hard way never ship by UPS due to their hug... 
HRS ADH Record Weight
I talked to the Hrs people at takes 2013, Toronto audio video show. They said their heavier record weight made a huge difference on the classic tables, much the same as you just described. You have nothing to worry about the little extra weight on... 
Phono Preamp recommendation for VPI Prime
Just because you have an all ss system, don't think that you need a tubed phono stage. I made that mistake and it wasn't the sound I liked. The phono stage was a Zesto andros, yes it sounded nice, just not to my liking. I ended up with a Simaudio ... 
Audio Desk Systeme Glass voltage question.
Mike, I would contact the cable company and ask them.The owner of Audio Desk doesn't respond to emails. I learned this my self and the cable company helped me out. 
Simaudio 610LP vs Esoteric E-03 phono stages
No, I didn't get a chance to listen to the Esoteric. It is very well reviewed.There is a gently used one at audio eden here in Canada.with the dollar difference in your favour, it might be worth looking at. 
Simaudio 610LP vs Esoteric E-03 phono stages
Mbump, We have similar systems. I have the W-5 LE, P-7.To answer your question. As good as the Andros is, the Simaudio 610lp trounced it, no comparison. I am between tables right now, but will be running fully balanced into the 610 in the future.M... 
VPI classic 3 or Prime ?
Harry has answered this question on the VPI forums.He said he would recommend the prime before the stock classic 3, but would probably go the other way if the classic had the 3rd tone arm. You can also order the classic 3 with the 12 inch 3d tone ... 
Lyra Delos or Helicon versus Soundsmith Zephyr
Svenjosh, Can you mention the differences between the zepher and the voice sound wise.I was about to order a new vpi table with the zepher 2 cartridge. The dealer said the zepher 2 would be on the low end of cartridges to put in my system.He sugge... 
Simaudio MOON LP5.3 RS or 300LP?
You may want to try the Simaudio Evolution 610 lp phono stage. That was the ticket for me to vinyl enjoyment. 
Record Store Day...
I was told that by 2 independent record stores.I am in Canada, so maybe in the States the REM is a go. I really wanted it. 
Record Store Day...
I am being told the REM 4 disc vinyl has been cancelled 
Upgrade Tonearm for VPI Aries 3
Abill, What is your current phono stage? Perhaps the money would be best spent in the phono stage and skip the new arm. I went from a Zesto Audio Andros to a Simaudio Evolution 610 lp and the difference was staggering. Also, I added a silver cable... 
Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3
I had high hopes for sound quality of the new versions until I read Analog Planets take on it. Mothership is on the shelf behind me, never play it due to sound quality. It's amazing to see some people here saying it sounds good. Mine sucks big tim...
