| Power line question Sure. Aside from that, are you saying that mine circuits are isolated from my neighbors' so that their usage has no effect on mine whatsoever? I noticed my kitchen light flickers barely noticeably sometimes; is that a sign of bad ac, heavy demand ... | |
| Power line question Sorry to be reviving this dormant thread, but I have some additional questions that I'd like to ask to solicit your opinion.Is it possible to have a truly dedicated power line in an apartment building? It seems that one could rewire one of the cir... | |
| Rubber Washer VPI Scout I thought the Scout came with a delrin, not rubber, washer. At least mine did when I bought it in 2010. Reading your question I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but the purpose of the washer is to flatten the record as much as possible agai... | |
| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's Perhaps not hearing the molecules orienting in the same direction is a blessing, after all. One more thing to check off my audiophile neurosis. Godspeed to the rest of you. | |
| VPI Classic---replacing stock feet: my experience I've also replaced my Classic's stock feet with Eden Sound Bearpaws and never looked back. I actually didn't notice that much of an improvement in bass, which was pretty good in my system already, but noticed a significant improvement in high freq... | |
| Best Record You Have Ever heard The Ray Brown Trio "Soular Energy" release from Pure Audiophile puts 99% of audiophile records to shame. Recorded sound doesn't get any better than that. If all recorded music sounded like that, live performances would go the way of the dinosaurs.... | |
| HELP-woofer moves alot when playing lps And what system would that be, Inna? If you call listening to records "experimenting," no wonder we intrigue you. | |
| HELP-woofer moves alot when playing lps My cartridge/tonearm combo is perfect on paper and confirmed thorough a test record. Nevertheless, I would get woofer pumping on some records, but not others, which clearly indicates the problem lies with the record, not the system. This also conf... | |
| New Vinyl - "scratchy"? I also own this set and experienced the same problem. The answer to your question is that the vinyl used for the pressing was of poor quality, or the pressing was done on a press with a poor QA. Mine sounds like a used record that had been played ... | |
| Mint LP a no go – now what? Jazzgene,Can you say more about what you liked better after the setup with the Uni-Pro? Is it the pricey protractor I've seen some discussions about on A-gon? After realigning my Delos with the VPI jig, I'm inclined to say I might be liking the VP... | |
| VPI Classic and new cartridge - which one? What a great set-up! I have the Classic with the Lyra Delos and I'm in analogue nirvana every weekend, but your combo is in a different class altogether. It gives me something to look forward to one day when I can upgrade my cartridge. Congratulat... | |
| Mint LP a no go – now what? It's very interesting, Mac. I had mine set up with the Mint and was happy with it, but when I got one of Diana Krall's albums, I was getting distortion on the last two songs on one side. I then decided to try the VPI jig to see whether it would ma... | |
| Mint LP a no go – now what? Holly cow! A thread resurrected after two years! Does the OP even care at this point? If he/she does, I have a Classic and used both the Mint and the VPI jig to set up the cartridge and honestly would not worry too much about not being able to hav... | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? Great choices.I agree with most of the picks in this thread. My personal favorites:Jazz: Ron Carter, Scott LaFaro, Ray Brown. The first time I heard Scott on "Waltz for Debby" I couldn't believe bass in jazz could be played like that. His so prema... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Ray Brown Trio "Soular Energy" on vinyl. The music and sound are both insanely good. |
