VPI TNT Turntables
phoenixengr,The Hurst motor on my Classic One started making noise within a few months after I started using the table.  I installed a replacement and it wasn't smooth right out of the box, but has since smoothed out.  I doesn't inspire confidence... 
Solid State Stereo Amp for Herron VTSP 1A
facten,I am using the VTSP 3A into the Bryston 4B SST2 and am enjoying the results. 
What's going on with the audio market?
65,40,?Audio equipment is about the only thing that I feel good about buying.  It's much more important than things that one must buy, like roofs and lawn mowers.  Those things are painful to buy when I could get a new piece of gear. 
Music Lovers Speaker vs. Audiophile Speaker
For many, I think this analogy works:   A solid state amplifier is more accurate and reproduces  more precisely what is on the recording.  The tube amp on the other hand, may not be quite as accurate, but gives that wonderful warm sound and is mor... 
VPI TNT Turntables
phoenixengr,I am going to interpret that as an agreement to what I said.  All of my examples are increasing the mass and the inertia, right?  So the vpi flywheel would be more stable, due to its increased mass?  The more massive flywheel in motion... 
VPI TNT Turntables
Fellows,I am no engineer (though I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express) but I have experienced how greater mass/weight has more inertia and would be much harder to change the speed than would one with less mass/weight.  For example, picture changing... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
oregonpapa,Thanks for the input.  I, like many, am skeptical but open minded regarding the fuses.  However, I do draw the line at a certain point.  I can no longer suspend my disbelief when I read certain product descriptions: " Audio Magic latest... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
If I am understanding correctly, then my best option would be to begin with the cheese on the Maggies?   
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
A poster on another thread said he considered cables  and interconnects as another component in his system.  Do you kind people agree with that sentiment and do you consider fuses to be as significant?  I have a fused Magnepan 1.7 with generic rol...

czarivey,Don't you have a Trump rally to attend? 
Do female audiophiles exist
czarivey,Your idiocy is showing again.  Your comment is not appropriate. 
Is it okay to run Cambridge Audio Phono stage to Tube Preamp that is line in only?
hockey,My guess is that not many are familiar with the onboard phono stage of the Sony; I would think that the Cambridge Audio would be better, but with an entry level TT setup, any difference might be small.  Having the phono stage separate from ... 
Martin Logan Vista spks versus Maggie 1.7 speakers. Best speaker for medium size room??
sunnyjim,I have the 1.7s and couldn't agree more with elevick.  It is so important to get these guys back away from the front wall.  I am in a room 13 x 20 with cathedral ceilings and an alcove off the back about 8 x 10.  I am using the room lengt... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
worldwidesales,Aren't you doing the same thing you accuse danvignau of doing?  You have not heard his 30 amp circuit.  His just may be the best 30 amp circuit in the U.S. due to an almost infinite set of variables.  Maybe for example, he lives acr...
