The best Dipoles, Dipoles that can do bass?

IB, where did you source your Kodo Beat?
I believe it's discontinued now if I'm not incorrect.
 
I should check that "used for sale" listing more often LOL.

A couple of Magmas going there.

This place is interesting. He used to list things like Divas/Scintillas etc used, but when you phoned up he didn't actually have them. They were actually in the lounges of the owners he claimed to know and weren't readily for sale.

Mind you I can understand not wanting to move a Diva LOL.
 
Yes he's more of a broker than a traditional store, but he can get new stock to order
 
I get it Justin, more Apogee mirages LOL.
 
Alain had a new arm board made, by a defence contractor involved in machining parts for nuclear subs

Alain is in touch with Steve Dobbins, so if there are any more available he'd be the man to ask

So am I. Steve is quite friendly and helpful to people who write to him for sharing his experience. I have asked him a lot of questions on Schroeder, and other arms and carts, which he gave extremely helpful detailed answers to.

The TT you have belonged to gshelley on this forum. I used to look at it every day and decide not to buy it. Saved me a lot of money. Glad to see it come so close to home.

Sounds like some dude at Babcock probably did it then:) Nice.

So what has happened to Kodo? Are they still in business? Or is there a newer model than The Beat?

talked to Steve at RMAF last October. he now has three levels of tt's coming out that 'might' replace 'The Beat'. here is a link to his website. as his website does not show his new tt's i'm not sure where that is right now.
