    Pro-Ject X8 turntable and Ortofon Quintet Blue moving coil cartridge

    Back at the Munich HES 2018 (17? I forget when was the last one) they had about a hectare of t/tables on display. "If you do not like this one, then there is this or this or what about that one?" I agree with the sentiments of Ingvar and Achim.

    cartridge thoughts

    That van den Hul Frog is one awesome cartridge. Plays along with the very best, had one many years ago and I still hear certain similarities from the Frog when using either the Crimson Black or the Crimson Grand Cru. The " house sound " is unmistakeable. Which reminds me to send the vdH the ONE...

    Power amp choices

    Thanks guys, Very comprehensive mix of amplifiers you had there. Probably a good thing that (for now) I do not manufacture the Genesis amps anymore. I would not like to be held responsible for any of my amps attacking unsuspecting forum citizens. Made in a garage, so probably needs some...

    Audio Shop In Pretoria

    Hello Vusi, He indeed had. Sound Synthesis was the name. When that concrete upper floor crumbled and almost shut the western side of the Kollonade, shops were not given discount / rebates on their lease contracts (according to Jan Steyn) and that forced many to eventually close shop.

    Audio Shop In Pretoria

    Hi Stu, They are yes. A real institution in the Hi Fi trade they are. Of course the original Mr Albert Meyburgh and "Tannie Marie" have passed on long ago. I learned a lot from Mr Meyburgh, the old Grey Lion of one of the very first chain stores dealing only with Hi Fi. The original Hi Fi...

    To do in 22.

    I agree on all points and apologise as well for the comment regarding "so little to do". I am well aware of your program as well and also admire the work you are doing now as well as what you have contributed to H.A.D. The vacuumed cat had me puzzled until I looked it up, quite a company that...

    To do in 22.

    Welcome to "22 Ingvar, and of course the whole troop in this here place. All I can say about your conundrum is "I wish I had so little to do" There, I have said it! Wish I could have some ME time for a while. I would love to just spin some vinyl, clear my head and decide if perhaps it is not...

    An African violin? New study tests which indigenous woods could make one

    That's a whole lotta lovin' with precious woods happening right there. Nothing like the smell of freshly fettled wood. Met Murray years ago and have great respect for the man. Seems he is teaching you too? A craft that must go on.. :thumbs:

    cartridge thoughts

    Pray tell WHY? Scrap that! I only now really read TT1  :be: If well set up and all the star signs align, it works very well, but when the darn thing forgets that it is a pedigreed tonearm and it screams across the record at the speed of a demented witch.... I have two of those. Nice to look at...
