I know there is an Air Tight arm with this feature, as well as the Goldmund T8. An excerpt from here: http://www.goldmund.com/products/reference/ "Motor-driven VTA adjustment with remote-control, allowing height calibration within 1/10 of a millimeter"

the SR-007 has the cable soldered directly to the stators via very thin pieces of silver foil. The "connector" looking thing is simply for strain relief.

wow, that really sucks... maybe I should have really layed into how crappy those Pioneer transports are... I try not to be a kill-joy when people get new toys, but these damn things suck so much I really should have made an exception. I've had good luck with www.electronix.com for replacement gears and such...

I won't tell nenso

actually, it sounded really really good, as the stands are definitely the weak link in the lower end models... that's why the Mye stand upgrade is so great....

price range? I'd check out Michael Percy and if those are too expensive, try these: http://www.vt4c.com/shop/program/main.php?cat_id=60&group_id=2

I totally agree. I'm not sure how they pull it off... Thiel, GMA, Vandersteen, Dunlavy, Meadowlark ... I bet you can guess why I think these all sound great

I hung a pair of MMGs from the ceiling once via fishing line, sounded great and would be cat-proof-ish...

well, I owned a Shelter 90X and wasn't all that happy with it once I heard the Zyx cartridges. How does it compare against the Bloom, I'd choose the Bloom in a heart beat. It's been quite a while since I've heard any Shelter cartridges, though. For the price, it's definitely worth a shot. I cannot say I've ever seen a Bloom for sale on the used market.

I have a Whest PS.20 phono stage that needs to go on the market soon to pay off some new projects dunno if you're looking in that price range or not...... I do have a try before you buy policy for certain people

man, gear at your place is somewhat like a one-night-stand... where's your sense of commitment? equipment has feelings, didn't you know?

that's just crazy talk

Interested in some Bakelite UX4 sockets? I have four I'd be interested in selling!

i love metal base tubes <3

yeah, well that bit me in the ass as you got first dibs somehow.... hrumph! yes, I got the pics

yes, and the 40W or so from the heaters alone will keep you nice and toasty

I think I just missed something here... I'm confused

just curious what they are, if anyone knows never heard of custom electrolytics, and all the caps I've been looking at haven't tripled in price anytime soon.

2 electrostatic amps?

what's the story behind this? I'm assuming you're referring to the 500V Black Gates?

lemme guess, an electrostat amp?

well, other than height Actually, I'll be using a 2" dome mid and have been using that as listening height for the crossover calculations. I guess I meant things like, how large should the top plate be in proportion to the speaker, construction, "features", etc. Since you mentioned it though, what's a good "average ear height"? I think there was some number in a Vandersteen setup guide I used to have, but I no longer have it. I was assuming 38"-42".. 2" dome mid is 8.5" up the baffle, so 25" Dynaudio Stand1 probably is too low ...

I'm working on a pair of speakers that will be 13.5" high, 7" wide, and 14.75" deep at the base. What sort of rule of thumb do you use when choosing appropriate stands? These Dynaudio1 stands just showed up, but I'm not sure they'd be the best match: http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?accsrack&1208786474 Any recommendations?

I really like Green Mountain Audio speakers, what about the Callisto: http://www.greenmountainaudio.com/Speakers/Callisto/Welcome.htm
