I went away for a few days and having returned the phono stage is quieter with more detailed full bass. It's great to have vinyl.

I understand that audio room design within a new construction is straight forward and easy on the budget. So, if that were true, I'd ask, "are you planning a room in your new house?" It's...

I've been learning about vibration control and isolation. It's interesting that I've gotten this far and know so little. I put the DCC2, CDSD and 948 on a Zoethecus four shelf unit in the center of...

I reduced the anti-skating weight today. It seems to improve dynamics slightly? Why, I have no idea. I also have a set of Daruma's which I put in upside down under the table. They really are better...

Yes Jane, that is a 1970 turntable on the floor of my listening room. And, no it doesn't make music. How could any turntable in Eichengrun's house make a sound. It would be against the priciples of...

I'm borrowing an EMT 948 from my friend. I intend to buy something else, but it will certainly get me by until the DarTZeel pre-amp arrives later this year.Bill

The simple answer as to shipping is that they come in three sections apiece. Other than the weight and cost of each piece, they're actually no problem to install.I really don't find them im...
