  1. Forgive my ignorance. Is this an AC or DC motor unit? And does it have 45rpm on the motor unit? I am looking at a deck upgrade and was toying with a couple of LP12 options that have come through recently, but this could be the upgrade to my Acoustic Solid I need. Do you have further photos you can share? happy to discuss via PM if you prefer?
  2. The signature series blows the studio series out of the water..... I wish I never sold my S2's
  3. I love my standard version of this amp. KT150s work amazingly well, but the KT88 are super good in their own right. Good luck with the sale, this is a great modern tube amp.!
  4. Is this essentially a Rega geo arm? Or is it shorter pivot to spindle? I was always interested in these, but ended up with and origin live.
  5. I will see if my Brother can pick it up. If he says yes, I will take it. PM tomorrow if that works?
  6. I am interested in dipping my toe into o the cleaning machine mix, but would need the discuss shipping to Canberra. Could it be done?
  7. Further Information: RRP TT - ~$5000 with rega arm RRP TA- ~$2000 It was a serendipitous moment when I was able to find the Acoustic Solid with no tonearm and concurrently the Zephyr was available. The pairing has been an absolute wonder, to the point I would like to move to a better level of arm and possibly turntable. Hence my EOI. If someone is interested in the tonearm, I am happy to separate them and then upgrade using the Acoustic solid as the platform, though I think it will be better for everyone to keep these units together. The 10x5 isn’t included, though can be by negotiation. I have the original boxes, so shipping is fine (though the zephyr’s box got wet ( without the Tonearm in it) so looks a bit rough. the Zephyr was upgraded with silver wire prior to my ownership. I had a Delrin sleeve machined to help hold the arm on the metal arm board of the Acoustic Solid whilst reducing resonance. It works really well, though VTA adjustment is a little tricky initially. Happy to discuss or demo. the price includes the original Perspex Matt and an upgraded one.
  8. Hi, I was looking into this arm as I was researching your original package deal. I came across this site: https://www.cymbiosis.com/tonearms/ and it looks as though they are big into LP12 enhancement and finding Naim Tonearms is of interest. Not sure if it helps, though good luck with the sale.
  9. Hey SNA, Does anyone have any experience with suitable loading for a Shelter 9000? What would I expect the sound to be like if I am too high/low? I am running through a Brinkmann Fein, which is 600ohm on the two MC settings, so hopefully I can parallel load it to find the correct loading for the Shelter? Any help with the value to try, and any help in calculating the relevant resistor value for the plugs would be greatly appreciated Cheers Dan
  10. There was a Kiseki Blue in the classifieds? Maybe different, different better would be your ears' call I guess
  11. So the Shelter 9000 has made its way onto the TT tonight. Maiden voyage:
  12. What will happen over the next 100 hours or so? It has a crazy staging thing happening and it’s only a side and a half into Lorde [emoji16]
  13. I have an SGR Power Amp sitting in its box waiting for someone to love it? it is the EL15s, which is 75W per channel (150w in total hence the 15 in the name.) It was bought from a member here, and worked wonderfully with the paradigm bookshelves and the Monitor Audio floor standers, both about 90DB efficient. It is a fantastic amp, and I was looking for about $1300 let me know if you are interested at all? Dan
  14. Thanks for all the fantastic options offered by the crew here at SNA! I have managed to orchestrate an amazing trade-in deal on a Shelter 9000, and am now looking at it, with a level of trepidation about installing such a high spec cartridge in my system.
  15. Hey Guys, thanks for all the input. I managed to source the Dragonfly Red in the classifieds to trial my concept.... hopefully its a good fit? Anyway if it doesn't work out, I can move it along and get a bit deeper into the realms of HeadFi and DAC combinations
  16. Thanks for all the feedback At this stage I cant fault the kids, the HiFi is the only thing in the house they seem to respect.... go figure. The Shelter has arrived this afternoon, and it is a good looking cartridge I must say! I am thinking this is my one and only chance to own a cartridge of this quality, whilst still remaining married, as the deal was such a good one. Hopefully the repair of my 10x5 at soundsmith is OK and I will get a secont cart back into the collection that way. My current tonearm isn't a removable head shell type, so the concept of rolling multiple head shells and cartridges is lost to me at the minute..... So I guess, bring on the shelter?
  17. Well after the disappointment of a destroyed Benz Glider, the replacement has arrived.... I am still a bit scared to install such a high-end cartridge on my system[emoji33]
  18. How does the OPPO compare to the other options out there? I am trying to avoid the lure of the Mojo.... but it is getting hard to avoid it. [emoji16]
  19. Thanks. I was starting to look at the dragonfly options, or even an older hiface?
  20. Hey Folks, I am looking for some advice to get my office rig set-up/finalised. I currently own some Senn HD650 and a Burson Soloist SL mk2. I am hoping this is a fairly good start? but I have some questions about what I should be using as a source? Notably a DAC or DAC/Streamer. My work laptop is a Dell Latitude, so nothing fancy there, but I am hoping it can stand duty to store the tunes (if nothing else). Anyway, over to the collective brains for some advice, and hopefully experience of the same scenario. Dan
  21. Thanks guys. The rest of the system is as follows: Acoustic Solid TT + Origin Live Zephyr with silver re-wire, Brinkmann Fein into the PrimaLuna Dialogue KT150 and Monitor Audio GS60. I think the rest of the system would be close to good enough...
  22. Have you looked at the Origin Live replacement motors? or possibly just go with the old trusty Rega 24V motor..... heaps of control options out there? I am sure I have also seen a motor, similar to an Acoustic Solid), that would be separate and programmable option, but I cant find the links.
