Agreed Randy, just a little levity, that's all !

It certainly is not "haters", it is a discussion... "what's not to like" a legitimate discussion response is "Price" Why do some people always try to turn everything into an issue when it is purely a discussion... maybe try to mellow out and...

Top Phono Stages - what comes to mind? whatever Mike sells. :D

Hard to say, as TEAC launched the "ESOTERIC" brand which exclusively engineered and manufactured high end audio products in 1987. Maybe Teac contains a lot of the Esorteric parts but has never been marketed that way. Just a thought,.

The end result is harmonious and cohesive, and the music unfolds in a way that gives you more time to listen – more time to unravel the individual strands that form part of the whole." Hi-Fi+ “… the Koetsu endured in delivering boatloads of color...

Do people have such short attention spans that they need to go off on ridiculous tangents? Jeez. If you think it is too expensive or it isn’t worth the cost to you just move on. You don’t have to post about it. The cartridge looks great. ...

Koetsu is for connoisseurs. Like it, Mike. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That's no different to FIAT currency we call dollars... In fact, your word and Monopoly money may actually be more honest than a government that prints, controls as well as sets policies that ultimately debases the currency through the "hidden tax"...

So here comes the price tag haters.

not a problem, so long as you understand I pay in 'Monopoly money' ! :D

Hehe Dave... it's only money.... hmmm, how about I send the bill for a new amp to you :)... I promise it will only be a basic model, like an introductory McIntosh.... I mean... what the hell it's only money :D...

MC2 ...!

The FMA is fantastic ...

You wont be able to afford it and yet still be happy - Great reset ..!

Cant buy a decent use car with that so its a deal ...!

Sure, that's why $10,995 will be the price of an "entry level" cartridge in a few more decades. :D

Anyone here can afford this convertible for this summer 2021,and I mean everyone. If you cannot afford it, or you are not interested, or you prefer a Porsche, or for any other reason, you are @ the right place...autophile.

Randy, it's only money, they print that shit every day ! :snicker:

I also have the ENOag and agree with TVB’s assessment. It reduced the noise floor improving dynamics and harmonic articulation of the music. I perceived no negative affect. I also have the ER and only use the A side into the ENO which connects...

Price.... $10,995.00 for a cartridge. :exciting:

Perhaps the price may cause a bit of a hesitation given the fragile nature of such devices? :D

I was talking about low frequency wavelength in listening rooms as my initial comment. It is one thing to "listen" to a live organ and a totally another issue trying to recreate it in one's listening room. :lol: By the way, I don't know how some...

Nice, artwork that sings to you, what's not to like !!!

Ok , but we are talking Organs, research wave lengths thru pipes , organs with a 32 ft pipe will produce a 15hz wave , also pipe diameter makes a difference to not only magnitude but length required .. Regards

Wow, that is a serious looking cartridge! I bet it sounds amazing. Ken

Speaking of Grace Cathedral of San Francisco, quite the appropriate place to unleash the lowest, deepest and most impressive low frequencies and the power of an organ. Its dimensions are Overall, Grace Cathedral is 329 ft (100 m) long, 162 ft...

Mike, if my AriesIII disappears tomorrow or I decide to add a second table you know I'll be in touch !

The two immediately perceptible differences: Much more clarity (i.e. resolution), top to bottom frequencies, and more extension especially in the bottom frequencies, even compared to the Goldmund which has extended HF reproduction. The other...

We have the P6 and P8. I think we need a P10. Great turntables. So alive and dynamic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

not to steal your thunder from the upcoming review but here is a superb video comparing the P10 to the P8.... Rega Planar 8 vs Planar 10 Turntable Comparison - YouTube

Can you tell me about about the difference in sound between the different amps you had.

:congrats::tup::tup:

Years ago I had a FMA 122, and I found it to be my end-game phono. The FMA replaced a Goldmund Mimesis (don't remember the number--age!), which in turn had replaced an Octave & the phono section of a CAT Ultimate preamp and the phono section of...

Big thumbs up!!

After Ryan the owner lost his wife, everything stopped. I had a pair of customer Breeze monitors made long before they slowed production.

just found a review of pam g2, not sur how long the g2 is on the market already. however, the scientist phono pre presentation was planned for the münich high-end 2020. ...

No worries. Nothing more than a rumor. I remember when the Heisenberg/Stern first came out and I made a comment to a dealer and asked what's next for this Scientist series. He responded with a "Source" component. This was back in 2019. ...

I love the way she sings and I think she’s adorable.

Miguel, I kind of missed the second part of your comment. Sorty for that. Has there been some indication that a Scientist Series phono pre might be released? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thank you!

Since last weekend we've got on tests shielded but grounded ... Synergistic Research Galileo SX Ethernet and with U1 Mini results are very interesting.

Wow; the various shades of blue from the mountains in the background...magic depth/pastel perspective. Looks more like the wings of an eagle rising to me. :cool:

Enjoyed this! I drive past the Boulder headquarters on my way to work, but have never actively listened to their products or stopped by. Their 866 is very intriguing. I've had Accuphase, so your descriptions are interesting. I wish you could throw...
