Nice Dragon. Still can't decide if I want the hassle of one.
Get regular use out of my ZX-7 though. It's really very good and was serviced just over 18 months ago. Old shot but we're having a new...

Nice Dragon. Still can't decide if I want the hassle of one.

Can you send it back?
Been using the Lite Audio DAC83 for a few years, along with the Lite Audio LT-1 transport. Lite Audio provide(d) DACs to Monarchy Audio who release them under their own brand.
The DAC83 uses 4x...
This is great. Thanks for this, Ked.
That's true. I'm not looking for a DAC at the moment but if I was, I would also include the strangely named Denafrips Terminator on my audition / consider list, out of interest.
Hi - do you have a photo of these?
And from where did you get them?
(Thanks).
Aye. Better off just buying a new, complete Goldring 1042, on which the Reson Reca was based.
Depending on what type of grease is used, you simply need a solvent and something like a Q-tip (for cleaning ears). The idea is not to let the solvent spread everywhere. Depending on your machine and...
Looking to inherit SME's mantle, perhaps? If so, canny move - especially with the combination of knife-edge bearings and dynamic balancing (low compliance/vintage cartridges may like this).
Seen this around. Looks a bit fussy to me. Couldn't the same effect be achieved by using a wooden headshell?
As it happens, Zu Audio just emailed folk to say they have a new batch of their...
I can't believe I read this whole thread! :rolleyes:
CEC PH53, Aqvox 2CI and BMC Audio MCCI Signature Phono stages have that option. All designed by Carlos Candeias.
Interesting. We recently dragged our (my) record collection to NZ and back - having previously dragged it to Trinidad & Tobago and back. NZ was a minefield of mold avoidance, as far as the records...
I take your point, Sherwood/Geoff.
For me, personally, yes, I would buy vinyl again (today). But I might save up 20% of that 10K for a trip to Japan to buy some of the Jazz I collect. The music...
I'd be surprised if vinyl didn't outlast whatever digital format you might currently try and for the foreseeable future. It's lasted this far, hasn't it? Most of us can't even access floppy discs...
The sales video is hilarious! New era of innovation, and all that. And jeez, how much did that advert cost in the first place? The location alone would blow most budgets...
...
Yes. Here's Charles Hansen (Ayre Acoustics) thread at 'the other place'. And, to quote:
<< >>If you play a Tidal Master and do not have software decoding enabled it is still delivering a high...
Don't know like any version of the Isophon Orchester I've seen.

The best ones I have had in house, are Fertin field coil drivers FLB20EX (now the LB8EX mark ii), AER single drivers with whizzers, and more recently, 12" Isophon Orchesters (2 pairs, alnico drivers,...
This.
PTP use Corian very successfully with their repurposed idler drives.

Perhaps. But I don't see new bands forming, rushing to get playtime on Spotify or similar. They are forming new audiences away from established and/or larger publishers and distribution concerns....
It is a fabulous player. And there is a store of laser mechanisms for these players and other classics in Germany. At least one eBay seller is selling certified examples. Not cheap, but I still...
Q: Direct drive vs Idler drive vs. belt drive: Which is the "right" path?
A: Yes.
In other words, buy them all - be happy. Buy more than one version of any technology - have fun. Almost like...
