The bridge has burned down and please revoke my membership to this forum.

I knew many a Tenor player that could improvise and move a jazz loving person to an inner experience.
When younger I would ask them how t...

I would have left this alone but the facts and truth will out...1) The Mantis was well known to me and others around me before Andre joined V.E. though maybe not to you Americans.2) There are possibly 2 owners other than myself on...

The Jubilee I was referring to was an Ortofon. I stated with no second thought it hit the bay. Really I should not presume that as maybe it was a first or hundreth thought.A review of the Mantis from the former Jubilee owner is below.http://www.vinyl...

RomyBy hearing the rest of the Shelter line you will eliminate that curiousity and may find the answer also. Methinks the Shelter line will increase in time and become as confusing as the ZYX state of affairs.Mr Hanekom may also have some answers to ...

RomyYour first question was "Does it do bass"... Yes, and it does it full frequency with great tonality. I am a ribbon panel owner as you may remember and also have modified Tannoys as monitors so I know easily when I am lacking in the bass departmen...

RomyI for the last couple of years have been a happy Shelter 901 owner until now. The reason for the change is written here.http://www.vinylengine.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14487My low mileage 901 is about to go as it was bettered by a looong margin...

I and a few of my audio friends wonder why we are drawn to this site, but for me I guess sometimes I feel I put too much emphasis and effort into sound reproduction. When I venture here that feeling quickly disappears.Yep, your into horns a...

Some background first... My first initial foray into buying some decent speakers took me onto the path of Quad 57's, they had their limitation that are well documented i.e. sweet spot, not the most extended treble and not a speaker for a party.....
|
|
My preferred type of speaker is a full range ribbon, though I've always had a monkey/Tannoy on my back which is surprising as I don't really care for box speakers. I've heard many over the years but I was never really that impressed but wan...

The 901 is to be replaced with the 7000 I've read. I would also guess that the 9000 will be the new 90X.The 7000 is around 2000 dollars, here comes the cashing in.The king is dead, long live the _____?Rgds...

Well I tend to agree with most of this thread, but if you think you got bad on your side of the pond then read this thread as the audiophile animal is lame and limping over here.http://www.vinylengine.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4744Regards all...

Methinks the SME 309 headshell may work and if so they appear on the Bay every now and then.Sold one recently that I acquired years ago for near 90 bucks. Did make me wonder how much they were new.Regardsp.s. I guess someone has to pay the electricit...

A friend has a fixed headshell model S2 and is about to trade for a detachable just for convenience but worries if there is any extra sonic merit in the model he already has?Any idea Mr B____p.s. Romy, I've got my 901 and I'm very much impr...

I use Jecklin Float Electrostatic headphones (known to some as ear speakers as they sit slighlty away from your ears) and the nearest speaker I have ever heard emulate the feeling of these headphones is the ESL 57's. They are noto...

Shelter's can be got from Tokyo stores at a lower price than the West but none I know of can export at that price point. Basically you need a friend/contact to get it for you.This store has a good price and at times even lower...http://store.yah...

I guess the infamous JerryS didn't like the 90x that much...http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgcart&1122213293Any takers boys...?Regardsp.s. Hope the rave review he gave up helps to get his asking price. ;-)...

Okay, my point was not really the cost and not really even the magnets. (though I was surprised they were that cheap) Just the justification, but hey when has the 'high-end' needed any justification.When I was a dreamy youth there was exotica out the...
|

I decided recently to add the Shelter 901 to my collection of 'Groove Riderz' and wondered what was the justification of the price hike for the 90X. Read the same review as yourself and thought that I learn't nothing other than someone's opinion with...

Methinks that Mr C is correct in that the SPU cannot be deconstructed as I asked the same question elsewhere and got shouted down. :-( But hey, maybe they were minor league rookies and some major playa has the answer.... By the way ...
|
|
Well, maybe a little cussing first to set the tone. The older SPU's are now well sought after, many will end up in collections at now over inflated prices probably in the Far-East where they are worshipped. I've heard a few older SPU's and even those...

Well I'll 'fess up to the possible reason that this thread has had so many hits, I linked it to a thread on another site that has a few 103 owners (and remember for every owner there are many reading/waiting to become disciples due to the "...
