swt61 Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Sextett from Fitz Yeah I saw that from the sale thread over there. Congrats! That's the nicest looking pair of Sextetts I've seen, including my very nice pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungrych Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 So the idea with all the new TT's I've been picking up is to mod them with wooden plinths and new parts, then sell them. Is it bad that I don't want to sell them now? Is it redundant to have 3 very different TT's on top of my racks? Well if you do sell them, I want dibs!

swt61 Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I tagged onto a VT4C.com order of luvdunhill's a little while back. I didn't expect them so soon. The quality is fantastic, and the cone feet and record clamp are seriously heavy pieces. I'll most definitely order from them again. Quite inexpensive too, IIRC I paid about $105.00 total.

philodox Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 A moon audio modded Original CD player. In a word, outstanding. Steve, you'd better start thinking about wood accents for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postjack Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 My signed/limited copy of Snow Crash came while I was at canjam! Me too! In fact, I am so impressed with this one that I think I'm going to get out of pen collecting completely and refocus on small press sff collecting. Now if only nightshade would come up with the PSS LE I ordered two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 A moon audio modded Original CD player. In a word, outstanding. Steve, you'd better start thinking about wood accents for this. I agree with Jay re how it sounded. I heard his rig with his old cdp and then the Drew's personal modded Original (though I think Jay bought a level two modded one). It was a significant improvement. I was thinking that his balanced K340s and Massive Attack amp didn't sound much different than my SE K340s and Extreme Platinum. The source switch brought out better imaging and sense of space, especially in the K340s already nice midrange. I wish, like always, I could have spent more time checking it out, but there was too much to listen to, and at some point, the ears and brain shut down. Congrats, Jay, and it was great hanging out you at CanJam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes VT4C has a lot of interesting and different stuff. Philodox and I have their tube bases on our amps and I have used some of their beefy power cables for some power cable builds of mine. Steve, they have a nice selection of knobs too for some of your future projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philodox Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 To be honest I didn't do much comparison between drews personal unit and the model I bought, but it sounded as good as his to me, and if anything was a bit smoother... Which is just what my rig needs. I had tons of fun hanging out with the florida crew. You were tons of fun Vickie. Sorry steve, no pics, though you can see them on the moon audio website.

Salt Peanuts Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 blue note sacd subscription. Color me jealous. I'm really tempted, but I'm trying to cut down on audio spending. Incidentally, how many CD's per month for the subscription? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Sorry steve, no pics, though you can see them on the moon audio website. Ah the 2008, I almost bought a stock unit before finding the Oberon CDP I used to have. Those mods look really nice! And I hate to be a killjoy but that player really doesn't need wood accents. It's an all out industrial design assault, and it would take away from the design IMHO. Of coarse the customer is always right, so if you insist...

Incidentally, how many CD's per month for the subscription? 2-3, so $60-$90 a month, Acoustic Sounds takes care of the shipping. Pretty much maxes my music budget, but I'm sure I'll find a way to squeeze a new LP in there now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you going to take the plunge and get a D5000 like you posted in the CanJam thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an all out industrial design assault, and it would take away from the design IMHO. Of coarse the customer is always right, so if you insist...The lundahl transformers on the output work some kind of magic, definately a step up from the zapfilter. I suppose it could have something to do with the different dac chip and transport design though, so who knows. I hear what you are saying, but I can't help but think there must be some way we can sneak some wood in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
