| much thx to daiwok I'm playing music from vinyl again after a lapse of almosy 30 years!! the sound made by those mostly vintage gears are really not bad at all, so apparently audio hasn't evolved as briskly as other aspects of life over the past few decades. |

I must thank you nicknick and abc2009 for lending me their Xonos for the experiment!
We have done the comparison 2 times, and the results were consistent!
Now, the search is on! :-)

Last night at the Evil Kong's !!!
stacked Pass Lab XONO !! yes you need 2 for Stereo !!
One XONO for Left Channel and One XONO for Right Channel - Dual Power Supply serving each channel !! @@
the conclusion ? Yes you need more !!! and you need at least 2 !!! of everything !!!
much more bass and definition than a single unit of XONO. |

So, once the air-bearing arm is installed, we can take it to Master Limage’s den to dethrone his rice cooker? ;-)

While trying to find some accessories for my big METZ flash light I discovered :
1. Some NOS Alphason Hinges for Bobui
2. A Tripletone Amplifier under the bed
3. Another Mono cartridge
4. A Clearaudio Clamp
5. A felt ring for Wadia's Lenco Bearing
6. A Linn cartridge
7. Evil Kong's Black Widow
8. 4 Wands for the Terminator - early prototypes
9. Dennesen Air bearing arm with the old wand
10. Dennesen Wooden Wand made by Mandy the Magician in Philippines
11. Some Siemens EL84s
12. A Goldring cartridge
I think I need to do some auditing myself ! @@

That is good to hear ! The Schick arm is very underrated indeed and it performs as good as the very top high end arms on the market.
The Schick is the best SPU tonearm in the market for sure, beats all the Ortofons.
The Schick Type A is the best arm for Ortofon SPU Type A - impossible to beat IMHO.
The Schick is superb with low compliance carts such as the Denon 103.
Actually I want to start a new thread on the Schick Arm at some point as I have been very lucky to be chosen as the ASIAN DISTRIBUTOR for this simple but beautiful tonearm.
Lets hear it for the THOMAS SCHICK !!! - {BIG HANDS !!!}

| while browsing thru Stereophile in HMV today, I was pleasantly surprised to find Schick's 12" listed under Class A component, in fact the only arm under $2K. |

Evil Denon - well you have not seen nothing yet !!! remember Wadia mentioned another one I have with STEALTH finish !! 8^) |
