Well, I did not mean to express any specific attitude to Bottlehead people - the only experience I had to them was a few years ago visiting their meeting right here in Boston (I did not know what Bottlehead wa all about at that time). The meeting was...

At CES there were Viagra-junkie sized power cords everywhere for $5000. Around our room were $10k and $20k speakers that sounded like a wet jukebox. It was the land of delusion.Value per topology is one way to measure but let's instead start with a p...

On the topic of string slippage: I don't think my string, the original one from MS by the way, slips at all once the platter is up to speed. It would slip on the motor pulley when first turned on, as the heavy platter must be gradually brought up to ...

Thanks, guys. They were quite valuable recommendations. I wonder
how would I feel if Thomas what he begin to talk would inform me that I shall

Actually, Paul, it has nothing to do with stereo, with two
channels or four channels. The Auro or my reverberation channels, more or less
properly implemented present a completely different listening environment, and a completely different listenin...

Bill,
thank you for the ton of useful information! This is pretty much what I
thought, that the recordings should more or less suit the process to begin
with. To be clear: regarding “un-processed” main stereo + “reverb” only, are you saying

It has been a lot of audio damage in this household
lately. A year ago, my wife, for whatever reasons, decided to get a dog, which clearly

I is interesting that most of the “expensive” TTs, with a difference
to a degree of Continuum go for just one topology: mass loading. Yes back a Lechitsky
