Perhaps a stupid question, .... but...
Thanks Mwheelerk. 
Anyone going to the NY Audio show today to Sunday
Devilboy, I get your point, and I tend to agree with you. In fact, besides my love of music, my (and my wife's) appreciation of fine wine is one of my other favorite avocations. And when I'm at a tasting and may not like a particular wine, I still... 
Anyone going to the NY Audio show today to Sunday
I've already replied up above, but after reading more of this thread, I have a question. Like I said, this was my first "audio show" and I really enjoyed my day there. But all you guys are complaining. Is this a normal response to all the tremendo... 
Anyone going to the NY Audio show today to Sunday
I was at the show from 10 AM all the way to 6 PM on Saturday, and, as this was the first time I ever attended a high end audio show, I truly enjoyed every single minute of my experience. It was great to see and hear so much stuff that I've only be... 
new cart 600.00 and under
I recommend that you call Music Direct. They sell a lot of VPI tables and a lot of different cartridges. I'm sure they'll have a load of great suggestions at your price point. And after the Axpona show in Chicago, there may be some terrific "open ...

"I think he is using the phono stage in the prima luna pre-amp. Does this change things? "Well, yes, it certainly makes a difference ! Your friend's phono pre-amp, amp, and speakers will all contribute to the sound of music from his new VPI Scout.... 
RS5s - upper or lower connections?
Either set of speaker binding posts is fine. Hook up your cables to whichever set is easier to reach and connect. Just be sure that you use the same binding posts on each speaker ! Congratulations on your new speakers. Cue up your music and enjoy !

Rogue Audio Cronus was perfect with my 1C's. The 2's require more power, so the Cronus Magnum should work well. I agree with Stringreen ..... John Rutan @ Audio Connection is an expert in this area. In fact, he's the gentleman who recommended the ... 
Lore vs Vandersteen ICi vs Ohm Walsh Talls
I truly enjoyed my Vandersteen 1C's for many years until I recently upgraded my system with the Revel F-12's. The Vandersteens are wonderful speakers, and the quality of the sound of music through the entire line is superb. As far as conversations... 
Upgrade from Rega P3-24 .....
Sebrof ...... I beg your pardon. Rollins, not Coltrane. You are correct ! Today, with all the great NCAA basketball on TV (with the TV obviously on mute) I've been listening to great jazz all day long. I've been spinning LP's by Miles, 'Trane, Rol... 
Upgrade from Rega P3-24 .....
That's what I've been thinking. Is the white belt causing the improvement ? or is the fact that the belt needs replacing causing the improvement ? The way I'm looking at it, since my belt is over 4 years old, I probably should replace it, and for ... 
Polk Audio RT2000p or LSi 25's--- WHO CARES ???
I do not want to get involved with all the childish and foolish behavior bring exhibited on this thread ... But, I would like to mention that on of my favorite systems from way back during "the good old days" of audio was in my brother-in-law's ap... 
Help me replace my Rotel 1072
I have the RCD-1072 (see my system), and it has always gotten along quite well with my Vandersteen 1C's. I originally had the Rotel driving an Arcam Delta 90 integrated amp, and the sound of music was wonderful. Then, I upgraded to the Rogue Audio...
