Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2
I'd love to hear your thoughts on standard Calypso vs Signature... 
Mapleshade Silclear
I had forgot about this thread, and feel I should update my thoughts on Silclear. Going by memory; I would say that after about a year with this product in my system, I felt things were sounding a bit dull and lifeless. So, I decided to remove it ... 
Aurios under JC1 monoblock's?
I see I never updated this thread. In my system, isolation bearings are the bomb, even under speakers. Check system if interested...

What does the upgrade cost please??? 
Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion
I just recently replaced my AT440MLa with the 150MLX on my main rig, and moved the 440MMLa into my garage rig. Both TT's are SL12xx's. I was really digging the 440 after many hours of play; a fine little cart at $100, especially compared to my Shu... 
my new black faceplate Aesthetix Calypso
I'm a little confused. Generally, it's the gain stage tubes that cause noise, or 12ax7's. Not the output tubes or 6922's. Also slightly confusing to me is "Sovtek 6922" tubes. I was under the impression that Aesthetix only used Teslov tubes in the... 
my new black faceplate Aesthetix Calypso
Hard to understand why they are still shipping units w/noisy tubes. When I took delivery of my Calypso about 2.5 years ago, it had one noisy stock tube (Teslov 12ax7). The dealer sent me a new pair at no charge; one of them were noisy. But between...

Love my Calypso! They will be prying it from my cold, dead hands! Very stealth-like in black!

03-13-08: Solman989Interesting tip on the Mothers product Perfectionist. Have you tried it on your M5G yet? Yes. I have treated both decks (only the visable area's of course). While both look great, the M5G looks richer with the metalflake finish....

Being a hardware tech I would like to agree with much of what Les_creative_edge has to say as far as build quality and engineering. In a world of over priced, esoteric TT's, I think it is a thing of beauty. The textile feel of the controls is amaz... 
Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion
Not trying to start anything here...I have two SL-12xx tables, main rig and garage rig. One's hinged, one isn't. If you listen to music at TV levels, it probably doesn't matter. But the louder you crank that volume, the more that lid resonates. An...

Because it resonates. Think tuning fork.

"If you want a little airier treble, leave the lid up when you play a record."Umm, no one should be running a tt with the lid up, or down. Take it off and put it in another room.

02-27-08: Johnnyb53 the Shure is dull as dishwater.That is about the best description I've heard yet! I am said friend to Cytocycle, and I'm in total agreement. I personally think they should just stop manufacturing it, it sucks that bad. Kevin a...
