How a nickel can make a valuable improvement
How about a penny for improvement ? I remember many years ago when my Dad taped a penny to the tonearm's headshell of our old Victrola phonograph, thus increasing the tracking force and improving the sound. Ahhh..... those were the days ! 
Collecting Within One Brand
Martlet..... THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for linking us to the ABC story about Eva Cassidy. It is a wonderful piece of TV journalism about a truly fantastic singer. My eyes are moist with tears and my heart is full of joy after watching it. I've been a... 
Rogue Cronus Magnum-2 years and never tube rolled
Hi Donjr....... Yesterday you answered my posting to your original thread about this, and I'm glad I may have been of some help with my experiences. When I switched all five small tubes, I gought them directly from Rogue. With my EL-34 to KT-77 ch... 
Veteran's Day
My Dad landed on Omaha Beach, as part of the 29th Division's first assault wave, on D-Day 6/6/44. I have always saluted him, and all his fellow veterans, with the utmost pride and respect. Every single veteran deserves our heartfelt thanks and gra... 
Recommendations for monitor/bookshelf speakers
B&W 685 and Triangle Titus EX may be two speakers worth checking out. You also can get on the websites of the major manufacturers (Polk, PSB, Paradigm, Wharfdale, KEF, etc.) and look at the specs. Good Luck and Happy Listening. 
I need advice on a good value for speakers
There are a a ton of fine sounding speakers out there in your price range. It's up to you to LISTEN to as many speakers as possible to find the type of sound that makes you happy. 
Seeking advice for intigrated amp for TT setup
Rogue Audio Cronus ....it has a really nice on board MM phono stage that should match quite well with your cartridge and speakers. Trust me.... the Cronus is a perfect match for the Vandy 1C's. Good Luck, and Happy Listening. 
Any Golden Ear Tech Triton Two owners?
I've spent considerable time listening to them in two separate shops, and have not been impressed. The mid-range seems too veiled and closed in, and the bass is too boomy and ill defined. Both shops were driving them with high power SS amps (Krell... 
Please help a Novice
Paradigm Atom Monitor v.7 ....... a wonderful speaker @ $398/pair new. They will give you a true taste of high end audio, should get along quite well with your receiver, and allow you to enjoy the music . A great review by Doug Schneider on sounds... 
Upgrade my Rega planar 3 or just move on ? update
I'm happy that you're happy..... It seems like you did a really nice job in improving your Rega table. My Rega P3-24/Exact 2/TTPSU is making beautiful music, so I can understand why you don't want to replace the glass platter with acrylic. Have fu... 
How does the drum kit sound on your rig?
Well, I just listened to the Allman Brothers Band doing Mountain Jam (original "Eat a Peach" vinyl), and the dual drum kits of Butch Trucks and Jai Johnny Johnson sound pretty darn awesome. And after that, I played an old live Dave Brubeck LP, "To... 
Favorite Pre Amp and Amp with Vandersteen?
Rogue Audio gear is getting along really well with Vandersteens. My system is at the "bottom of the line" for both Rogue and Vandy, but the synergy is sublime. From what I've been reading, as you move up the ladder with each brand, the synergy sta... 
Rogue Audio Cronus &/or Atlas owners ... TUBES ?
A year later... the amp sounds absolutely wonderful with the Gold Lion KT-77's. 
Rogue Audio Cronus .... reverse polarity ?
Thanks for the responses so far. I'll get in touch with Mark @ Rogue, but before I do, I just wanted to hear what my fellow Audiogoners have to say. Happy Listenig everybody. 
What separates should I use for my vandersteen 1c?
Rogue Audio Cronus...... an integrated amp that works really, really well with the Vandy 1C's. If you're intent on separates, then the Rogue Atlas/Metis combination should sound just as fine. Happy Listening.
