To me the problem with this it is not about that specific turntable but presence of this turntable and presence of the Framer as class action case which defeat a notion of public service. I do not advocate this or other design and I do not advoca...

I did not read it, I rarely read those types of articles but what you describe is very common and very indicative for those people. They fly like butterflies from a manufacture to a manufacture, from dealer to dealer and from marketing campaign to ma...

YOu know, when I first read Fremer's reply to Art Salvatore, on his website, I honestly had a hard time believing anyone could be so venomous. See http://www.high-endaudio.com/RR-FREMER-A.htmland alsohttp://www.high-endaudio.com/RR-FREMER.htmlfor sim...

Stitch, If you think that you are making some kind of joke then you are mistaken. In most case selling high-end audio to morons is a purely psychopathic game that takes advantage of compulsiveness of audio fools and their desire to be comforted. You...

I would like to note that my disagreement with David about his and other justification of TT high price does not imply that some of high price TT are very good performers, and it is highly possible that the new Micro AF1 is a very good sounding TT, i...

[quote user="Paul S"] I wonder, who would spend a significant amount on any phonostage that did not offer a coherent, easily-repeatable variety of playback curves? [/quote] Hm, I am not sure that I agree with it. The multi-curved phonostages, with re...

This is kind of even funny. I was told that I need to buy the last Stereophile and to read how the industry cheerleaders vaseline the Magico guy. So I did buy it the magazine.
What was almost hilarious in the magazine was the lost in the slippery LA...

Yes, rowuk, thank you, I have seen it. The FB Bruker forum showed a video a few weeks ago how Mike Framer demonstrated his fetish of opening the box, smelling it and to glorifying it in all imaginable way. It is hard to say what it is. Bernard Haitin...

I am sorry it escaped me during my initial write up – in fact I meant to express a position about the subject for quite a while back. The TAS page # 99 the ad by Vincent Audio. I think it is some kind of preamp and the ad shows a sexy leggy woman la...

This there is not about the Continuum TT but about the idiocy of Mike Framer, that was so nicely illustrated. Still if someone interested about the Continuum direction then here is David Robinson’s article and his observations.

[quote user="Wojtek"] and the forum which has already perfectly developed herd behaviour is most appropriate one. Yeah, I worded the post in a wrong way (as usual) If you're in a position which allows you to have intimate experience with most Mass TT...

Actually is not mystery but juts economics. BTW, the large Wilsons are I believe are not juts ported but so called fourth order design. With a sealed enclosure of the identical size the Grand Slam / Alexandria would go in Stereophile category of spea...

I think it is quite helpful to have some information about VTA in general.In the 50's there was no cutting standard, that means, every Label did cut their records the way they wanted ( the angle for Mercury, RCA LS, Decca etc. are all different). At ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]…. there is some characteristic shining or radiance… [/quote] Yes and no. Radiance probably is a very good word to describe Wilsons. (Search the site for Focal Utopia TN51) The key in here is not letting the artificial radiance to...

It might be not directly related to the subject of this thread but I do feel that it has quite a good relatively. Are you laughing that your Lamm made his new amplifier with a price tag of $126K? Well, think again. Do you remember as the ...

Arlequen,
Thank for the suggestion, the shape-wise it is exactly what I am looking for. I have seen a number of similar lights but they are LED lights. I kind of automatically discard the led lights as I though then are not as powerful and not...

[quote user="hagtech"] I'm not convinced a constant side load on bearing is good. It causes assymetrical wear. Just seems to me a center balanced bearing with no lateral loads would be better. Merely an intuitive hunch. [/quote]

It looks like Cessaro horns begin to spread this distribution. According to the messages on their blog the Hong Kong shop got Cessaro Alpha. Well, I care less about the Alphas, they are similar to the Avantgarde’s Uno/Duo should be very problematic. ...

Interestingly that I eventually decided to read the Mike Fremer review about the Continuum turntable. I was trying quite hard but I was not able to read it. The content was none-readable and revolting as in a beginning of each sentence the Framer jus...
