| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Regarding tiny VTA adjustments: The biggest problem with the SME V design is the difficulty of adjusting height. Every time I try it, the arm column moves slightly out of vertical because the VTA screw is off center and I have to recheck azimuth. ... | |
| wonder dynamicaps any good ? How many hours on the Solen's? In my experience they are very hard at first and after break in are much improved. Not to say another cap might not be better, just wondering if you are hearing the Solen at their best. | |

| Walker High-Def Links v. Cell Phone EMI-RFI The sound of cell phone going trough speakers is strictly a 3G network thing. Lots of phones including Blackberry, Treo and iPhone run on this network and when they "check in" with the system there can be a broken buzzing through the speakers.The ... | |
| Tube amps that kick ass? 04-29-09: Gallant_divaI also have a high opinion on the VAC.Besides the VTLs are rolled from the topDo you believe the Tube Research are "rolled from the top" as well? If I'm not mistaken, one of the pair of Tube Research that you tried (or bought... | |
| Can anyone help identify this LP cleaning machine? The German version of the Keith Monks is called the RCM MK5, it's sold by Axiss distribution in the USA, same people as Air Tight.Here's a photo of the RCM from my system thread.http://cgim.audiogon.com/i/vs/i/f/1184570880.jpg | |
| how many folks have +10kVA trannys before the rig? Ngjockey, actually it's a 25KVA transformer but I didn't notice I typed the numeral wrong until later in the thread.I'm the only one in the neighborhood on the service, so it's more than enough. We have gas HVAC and gas water heater but in Texas t... | |

| Tube amps that kick ass? The easiest question to come across Audiogon forums in several months. VTL 750 is the answer and VTL 1250 if you have a bit more to spare than the 10K budget you listed. |
