OTLs and ESLsLewm, Great looking system. I share your love of the MKlll of course. In my experience nothing beats a direct mount plinth on that one. My Krebs modded table is currently being reconfigured int... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |

Audio/Video Basement Retreat(Even Iowa can be fun)You're absolutely right. If there were no such thing as the 5A business for the 7s would probably be a lot better. If you have a chance to get a pair in good shape used I think it may be one of the... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
Audio/Video Basement Retreat(Even Iowa can be fun)Thanks, Macdad. I'm really happy with the room at this point. Luckily, Vandersteen made the Model 5A extremely well and priced his Model 7 somewhere north of ridiculous. Otherwise, I'd probably thi... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
Audio/Video Basement Retreat(Even Iowa can be fun)System edited: Update long overdue. Two Sp-10 MKlll projects added. Allnic pieces upgraded with new transformers. Audio Desk record cleaning systeme, changes the game. posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
Audio/Video Basement Retreat(Even Iowa can be fun)Thanks Peterayer. No, I've never tried the V-12. I'm pretty happy with the 312s. I'll certainly check out what Albert has to say about the V-12. posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
Audio/Video Basement Retreat(Even Iowa can be fun)Boonetrc, I really don't check my system page often enough. Thanks for the comments. Should update the photos somewhat too. Nice choice on the Thiels in your system. Like the Vandersteens, they... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
Audio/Video Basement Retreat(Even Iowa can be fun)Guys, Thanks for the comments. I really must appolagize for not responding sooner. There had been so little traffic on my system page I stopped checking on it after a while. I also really need... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |
A Lifetime of Buying and Selling Brought Me ThisStan, Long time user of the Benz LP off your recommendation. The LP is now shot. Soundsmith won't even touch it. I've opted for the trade in program on the LP-s again off your recommendation. I... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
Audio/Video Basement Retreat(Even Iowa can be fun)Chris, Sorry for the late response. I love the 5As with the Allnic and Ayre combination. Vinyl's sounding great. I need to update pictures at some point but now will be running a pair of SP10 m... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter Technics SP10 MK3 ProjectAlbert, I've been thoroughly enjoying your original wenge plinthed mk2 which I bought from you in June. I was very surprised today to find an almost identical design listed for sale here on aud... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
Audio/Video Basement Retreat(Even Iowa can be fun)Sam, I started with a modest collection of maybe 30 records from my high school years. I started buying new heavy vinyl reissues of my favorites and thought they were quite good until I compare... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
Audio/Video Basement Retreat(Even Iowa can be fun)Yes, I'd love to try R2R at some point but my plates full at the moment with the mk3 project. I'm also putting the mk2 in a twin arm plinth to match the mk3. R2R may be a ways off for me but I find... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
Audio/Video Basement Retreat(Even Iowa can be fun)Slipknot, The Allnic gear was a big step up, as I know you have experienced. The SP10 mk2 really opened my eyes to the potential of well executed vintage tables. That exposure I really owe to A... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |

Jfrech's systemJfrech, Just wondered how you run the MX-Rs. I have a pair and have been putting them in standby when not in use. Mike, at Ayre recently recommended leaving them fully powered all the time. Thi... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
Audio/Video Basement Retreat(Even Iowa can be fun)Thanks Tom, I really do think it sounds great and I wish I could say I was done for good but if I get my hands on a descent mk3 stay tuned. I did just get the xv-1s mono mounted yesterday with the ... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
Blythe SpiritCarl, I see you've added the DHT version on the Allnic Linestage. How does this differ from the L4000? I've been living with the H3000/L4000 combination for a couple of months now and they've r... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |

Albert Porter's SystemAlbert, It appears the H3000/L4000 are going to be keepers for you currently. The review on 6 moons of the L4000 says it's acoustically dead silent but that the unit itself emits a transformer ... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemAlbert, I'm very interested in hearing your initial impressions of the Allnic phono. I see it as a strong possibility for me. It has almost every feature I want in a phono stage. The hard thing... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemAlbert, Your testimony on the SP 10mk3 is pretty convincing. How hard is it for a guy to find one of those and if it's popular why doesn't Technics reissue it? It seems the Saskia might have a ... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |

Blythe SpiritThis may seem like a silly question, but one potential cancern I have about the 3000 is the collection of dust on all the inner parts due to it's open design. Do either of you guys find it hard to ... posted over 15 years ago | View comment |
