jtsnead,What TT did you have the Triplanar mounted on that sounded better ?? I have no noise intruding from the Technics TT. Could it be from another component in your system or poor ground ?My system is dead quiet. First time in forever with any ...

Tonearm suggestions for my Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck
uberwaltz,I have followed your posts for quite awhile. You keep doing these sideway, midfi upgrades and tweaks. Will you ever start saving your "nickles" and buy the real deal ? You spent $5 K on "the Gate", is it just because you can play with it...

Kris,Still thinking about your Eidolons, I live in (Chicago) four0fiveseven6seven5. Let's stay in touch. I think that we communicated once before. If I remember right, you are on your way to retirement in Colorado. You were looking for MIT ICs at ...

Guys,Appreciate your responses. Yes, this is a hard speaker to replace. The thought, popped into my head Sunday night. Get another pair of Avalons. They don't come on the used market often though. Raul, suggested them and when I saw his post, I lo... 
Professional Turntable Setup ( Chicago area NW suburbs )
I bought my Kuzma TT from Brian at Axpona 2016. Setup was included. The table and all parameters of cartridge / tonearm adjustment have stayed rock solid to now. Brian also mounted my Lyra Kleos cartridge to my Triplanar tonearm in 2018.  Both set... 
Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
To be clear, I only do my tremendous cleaning effort 'Once'.  After that, I usually just give my records a wet rinse with the VPI and RO water. They stay clean for a longtime. Perhaps, I will pick off a occasional piece of dust with the discwasher... 
Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
@atmasphere ,Ralph,  I bought my first system in Jan. 1972. I could only afford 3 records, that weekend. Of course, the collection started to grow as soon as I could afford them. Tics, crackles, pops started to become annoying along with the phono... 
Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others?
kcpellethead,I know Mick since 1993. I bought my Spectral and Avalons from him. I the last 2 years, Mick has been to my house to mount cartridge, pickup gear and other things. He has been a good friend since my health issues started. Yes, I listen... 
Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others?
I spent Friday and Saturday auditioning speakers. Finally after 14 years of being happy with my Avalons, I hear that it is time for a change. I was a Spectral owner for 20 years. The Spectral gear was great with my Avalons. Now, I sold the Spectra... 
Reel to reel
Ralph,If no one has taken your offer of the Revox B-77, I would like it and no shipping necessary. I will drive up and pick it up myself. Will call you in next couple of days.ThanksNorbert 
Did Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" blow up my woofer?
Did the Technics TT,  stock , out of the box alleviate the problem? Are you still happy with your Oracle mat and HRS record weight ? 
Power conditioner , Re-generator.....for Spectral DMA 150 / 180 Power amplifiers
rapogee,Yes, you can try any re generator or conditioner with your Spectral equipment. As in all things audio, sometimes they are an improvement, sometimes not. Will not hurt to try.Being a Spectral owner for 20 years, I tried a lot of different t... 
Turntable options
hambon,wharts comments #1, mulveling comments # 2, inna comments #3, my comments, maybe #10.Take your time with the vinyl route. Costs rise exponentially. An Oops moment with a !0K  - 15 K cartridge will hurt. I agree with whart, we are in the gol... 
Kharma or Avalon
 Avalon Opus w/ 6" sub firing down. Have had them 14 years now. 12 years with Spectral / MIT system. Drive by Pass Lab XA160.8s and XP20 now. Maybe, MAYBE a pair of Rockports would convince me to change. The Avalons will  also reflect your choice ...
