| Do tube dampers improve sound? Steve:I hope you didn't infer from my post that I was questioning the efficacy of your dampers in particular because that certainly was not my intention. I have your Halos and, like I said, I think they have been of benefit. As an aside, I like yo... | |
| Do tube dampers improve sound? I am not saying that the dampers work or don't work. I, too, THINK I hear an improvement when using Herbie's Halos on 6dj8-type tubes. It really makes little sense, and is kinda sickening actually, that the sound of, say, a $5K phono stage which i... | |
| Best phono stage balanced under $3000 used Cedar is spot-on, as is Oz with his second. | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline I am very interested in the responses here, as I own a Kuzma Stogi Reference arm (a really fine arm in its own right) and have considered moving up the chain to the air arm. Hoping that Whart and other actual users will respond with their impressi... | |
| Fine Tuning Vandersteen 5s An offer gone missing Wow, thanks, Z. I may give this a shot just to see what happens and how changes in one place effect another as a learing exercise. Then, I will break down and buy the good and do the job correctly. Obliged | |
| Fine Tuning Vandersteen 5s An offer gone missing Oh, you would have to add that Agaffer. .. :-( Ha!Jeff, the obvious question (for which I probably know the answer) is, can a guy lay his paws on one of the Vandersteen-produced CD's?Thnaks for the new info regarding True Audio D. I will look into... | |
| Fellow vinyl junkies: we made the front page I hear where you're coming from with respect to new vinyl, RW. With some of these LP's at $30 a pop, they can't go much higher! :-) | |
| Fellow vinyl junkies: we made the front page Very bad news. Encourages the bandwagoners to hop on, soak up the vinyl, raise prices, and then have the LP's sit unplayed and neglected in the corner when they find out that spinning vinyl isn't plug-and-play. I say this only half in jest. :-| | |
| Fine Tuning Vandersteen 5s An offer gone missing Well, so that people don't think I am totally insane, some guy that I gather was supposed to already be banned made a smart-mouthed post in this thread and then sent to me a filthy and rather psychotic message through this site. Audiogon has remov... | |
| Fine Tuning Vandersteen 5s An offer gone missing BTW, Charlie, I'm not giving you the satisfaction of returning the filthy, childish, and totally ridiculous message you sent me through this site. You really should be ashamed of yourself and banned from the site, if I had my way. Given other peop... | |
| Fine Tuning Vandersteen 5s An offer gone missing Well, of course, I would not purchase the equipment and do it myself without having someone like Zargon, who has done this before, at least walk me through it, first. Again, given my discussions with the somewhat local dealer, I believe that this ... | |
| Fine Tuning Vandersteen 5s An offer gone missing So basically for a $1 per day you are unwilling to learn how to do this and give up all that listening pleasure? AmazingSo you didn't read where I said it was time to buy some tools and do this myself? Amazing. Try Reading101! :-) | |
| Fine Tuning Vandersteen 5s An offer gone missing Not to discount the advice of others, but a special thanks to Zargon for not only being so knowledgeable about Vandy's but for taking the time to share experiences. This is what this site is (or should be) all about. My interest is piqued regardin... | |
| Fine Tuning Vandersteen 5s An offer gone missing Thanks for the mostly very well considered advice. My local dealer wants something like $300-400 to come out and tune mine. Because I will be in this house only one more year while another is being built, and after discussions with him, I'm left f... | |
