[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eli, I as any other person on consumer side, do sympathize
with how you feel. I would like however to point out that this site is not the
best door for you to knock. Audiogon for instance (and many others) specialize

Greetings,
I may be able to answer some questions regarding crossovers, multi-amping, etc. - without getting bogged down, hopefully, in metaphysical issues.
First off, I live in San Francisco, if he's inclined 'drdna' and other locals are wel...

I think it is a simple case of different strokes for different folks.

[quote user="drdna"] What was more concerning is today some 60 Hz hum also re-emerged in the system, sounding like a vibrating cell phone going off in the back of the room. It was interesting how it was sort of localizable, but the hum is annoying. A...

I believe the cartridges are manufactured form Decca by JS Wright in London.
The suspension is less of an issue since the Decca cartridges use a novel transducer. There is no cantilever. The stylus connects di...

[quote user="drdna"][quote user="tuga"]I too am very tuned into Romy's Unvollendete. The way I see it, it somehow synthesizes the way an evolved person (which we all aspire to become someday) approaches a work of art.

First, it may be more important to have a
