Point taken.
Roman, you are correct and I was wrong. Even for the secondhand, non-warranty market it is not expensive. James just emailed me that it only costs $100 to fill 2.0 meters of Dominus Rev. B. Clearly not a profit driven service....

I think we know why Purist does not send out refill kits. For the same reason HP and Canon do not send out ink refill kits.
I'm glad to hear about the fumes factoid. I think if I drank the barbecue sauce my body could produce some interesting fume...

Time will tell, but unlike Seiki, BiDat, TU-X1, S2, etc. this may be the first time The Cat's comments drive DOWN the price of a piece of audio gear. ;-)
An interesting experiment would be if you sent Dominus home to Jim for a full fluid transfus...

Hmmm, this is interesting. Is it your opinion then that if someone but Dominus on a cable cooker it could be ruined? This would affect trying 1990's Rev. A & B in my system because they can only come from used market and it would be unknown how they ...

Though the APT Analyzer alone is not listed in their online store, they will sell it to you separately. I emailed and asked if they would please sell me the APT only. They replied yes for $195. Not the old great price of $50 - $60, but a bit better t...

How deep can one go with FM signal analysis? I'm interested in what instruments people are using to analyze their FM signals. Here in Westchester County just north of New York City we have a few good stations. I use a Winegard FM antenna and rotator ...

I've been reading a bit on this topic and offer the following URL. http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3361 Quote: "Frequency Modulation (FM) is an important modulation scheme both because of its widespread commercial use, and because of its simp...

The lightning strike may have caused changes beyond the obvious damage as well.
I knew a caddy who was hit by lightning and though it didn't kill him, he was never the same again either....

Certainly it took Technics a while to sort out the motor control systems in their serious DD machines. The earlier SP10 Mk1 is not a good example. On the Mk2 they seem to have got it right. Even with that there are other issues like the mat & pli...

There was a Japanese company called Melco who did some experimentation with platter mass back in the 70's. I seem to recall that they felt 30Kg was where it stopped making a difference. The greek ACA president with his flywheel assis...

Roman, do you pick-up strong FM from the TU-X1's antenna or have you installed an outdoor dipole antenna via coax?

I have not tried this yet, but it looks very promising.
Studer makes a wide range of off grid solutions. One example is used for sensitive recording, a Studer AJ400 pure sine wave inverter connected to a car (or better quality) battery putting out ...

I usually tell people the basics, then add "If you hear a set of speakers that you really dig, then by all means buy them. If they make you happy, then they are just fine".IMHO, there are so many variables to what people like and dislike, it's almost...

I personally think Johnathan Carr is .....well.....yeah.I've owned turntables since I was 18. I've tried many cartridges, many phono preamps, and tried the "exotic" cabling, gold connectors, etc... and I've tried capacitance loading and resistive loa...

Interesting thread. I always thought that a good combination of weight and a tonearm that has a great deal of rigidity would be a better combination.With the remassed headshell, how does the entire setup handle warped records?...

[quote user="Paul S"]
So what other than one’s own sense of what’s realistic makes for “good” reproduction? For instance, I have found to my surprise that few people seem to notice or care about correct pitch, timbre, weight and scale, or col...

I have listened to these loudspeakers at 3 different HiFi shows. To me they produce what seems to be an uncontrolled mass of woody & papery sounding resonances. However, I haven't heard them being played in conjunction with a more norma...

Hi Romy, It's called "the itch". I was debating high and low before plunging for the Pass. I played around with the capacitance setting. I put it to ZERO and the sound lacked body. 100pf was a little better. Bass was tight but lacked absolute weight....

Hi Romy, Here is my dilemma. I like the SU1tremendously. Don't laugh....I had it hooked up to aRotel Michi RHQ-10 and the combo is sounds amazingwith my cartridges. I recently was feeling itchy and bought a Pass XONO.The Pass XONO cannot touch the so...

I agree its terrible, but the concept they are talking about sounds familiar and it would seem they'd be achieving some of the effect by adding in NXT panels in some way.They invite interested parties to email them. They don't seem to be sellin...
