| VPI Classic Seems like there could be a few things going on with your setup, but I'm still a little unclear on the plane in which the cartridge is wobbling. You said "back and forth," but did you actually mean "side to side" as in sides of the cart moving up ... | |
| Questions about room size and speaker choice Last question I wanted to ask: there are many acoustic treatment products available for reasonable and ridiculous prices on the Internet. However, I find it all rather confusing; absorption vs. diffusion vs. bass traps vs. soundproofing and combin... | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... So my Classic finally arrived and oh, my! My dealer set it up and mounted the Lyra Delos. I brought it home yesterday and right out of the box the combo sounds heavenly. Transparency and detail is amazing; I think the soundstage should get better ... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Cmalak...Of course, no problem. I'd be happy to provide feedback. I'm also currently using a phono preamp loaner as my Camelot Tech Lancelot is back with the manufacturer to customize it a little more. So the system is not complete yet. As far as ... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? The Delos finally arrived and has been mounted on the VPI Classic, which was also backordered for over 2 months. Wow, a beautiful looking cartridge made with the highest attention to detail. The built is simply immaculate. The combo sounds great r... | |
| Questions about room size and speaker choice Thanks James for your wise advice! Just so I understand correctly: the speakers are currently 3.2 feet from the front wall (measured from the front baffle) and a little less than 2 feet from the side wall (measured from the center of the speaker).... | |
| Questions about room size and speaker choice Thanks for all of your responses.The system is already there so holding off on buying new equipment, or getting a set of headphones is really not an option, with the exception of speakers, but a pair of Harbeths or De Vore Gibbon Super 8s, for exa... | |
| Questions about room size and speaker choice Ok, here's an update: after the move-in I measured the room and it's actually 11.4 x 11.11 feet. The bathroom and walk-in closet are on the half of the longer wall (after 5 feet of solid wall, it extends at an angle for the bathroom door and provi... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Jon,Thank you very much for your thorough and candid response to my post. I absolutely agree with you; I'd rather wait for the cartridge longer than see Lyra trade quality for numbers. It's very reassuring to know that Lyra continues to make quali... | |
| Musical Speakers - If you like that sort of thing. One of the most basic truths in life is that we all like different things. It's no different in the world of music reproduction. As many eloquently explained above, many audiophiles like to be able to extract the smallest detail embedded in the re... | |
| Questions about room size and speaker choice The phono preamp is the Camelot Technology Lancelot (solid state, battery powered), and the amplification is Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum tube amp. | |
| Questions about room size and speaker choice Thanks for the replies and suggestions above. I'm sharing the apartment with my fiancee who's understanding enough of my passion for great sound to let me use the master bedroom as my listening room. The compromise is that I have to live with two ... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? The Delos must be in very high demand as I've been waiting for mine for about a month now and still no sight of it. I understand it's unusual for Lyra to have this problem. Is it a supply problem or a manufacturing problem? Any dealers here who co... | |
| Phono preamp selection If anybody cares or is curious enough to follow this thread, I have settled on the Camelot Lancelot. Go figure... | |
| cleaning with VPI 16.5 and Mobile Fidelity brushes Theo, thank you for setting me straight. It is indeed osageaudio. My apologies. It's been a long day... |
