Koetsu Onyx Platinum
There are quiet trackers and then there is this cartridge. Amazingly quiet. The sound? It’s so musical and engaging.

We have the P6 and P8. I think we need a P10. Great turntables. So alive and dynamic.

I don't know if this video or singer has been posted here but I just became aware of her and I am mesmerized by her voice. And what a great smile while performing. Her voice is a near Stevie Nicks clone.

Apparently the CH video floating around is a fake video!!
Can’t wait to hear these in person. The specs, the design is just mind blowing and total state of the art. 1000 pounds of sheer amazement!

We have the P6 and P8 in the store and love them. The P8 had me sit back and say “wow!” So dynamic and musical for such a modest price point.

What is your budget for a preamp and what sources will you use for listening?
An older Conrad Johnson preamp used would be a nice match. Adcom on the used market is a good value. Quite a few options actually.
New you might look at the...

Correct, no issues. You could use two sets of cables going from setB to the speaker low end posts ad A to the high end posts, for example. Be sur to remove the connecters on your speaker, sometimes it's a flat piece of metal going from top to...

Welcome to AS.
The main benefit is to eliminate the jumpers that connect the binding posts. I recently done that and it was a nice improvement. The amp I started with had two sets of binding posts, using both causes no issues. Then I went back...

Thank you. I consider the D-08u very very “vinyl like”/analog, even more so than the new D-10x, which is excellent in its own right and offers some advantages over the D-08u. However, the D-08u via USB didn’t shine as much as the D-08u with...

Freight.
UPS and Fedex have weight limits of 150 pounds, but here’s the issue:
Drivers are hired to lift up to 75 pounds. Anything over this and you risk them kicking it off the back of the truck.

Is the wood on top? The 595 is wood all around, not just sides.
I asked Luxman and this is what they told me.
Maybe that’s why Accuphase costs more here!

The REASON is that US government regulations don’t allow wood over any piece of equipment for CSA safety reasons. Japan apparently isn’t concerned.
