| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? No worries robd2, glad you have discovered the VAC magic.My VAC gear just keeps getting better the more I use it. My latest OMG moment was after I replaced all 16 tubes in the Phi200 mono blocks with Black Treasures from Grant Fidelity. The tubes ... | |
| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Are you saying you agree with the posts and you're a very happy Rock 7 owner, but you're selling it because you found something just as good?Please clarify, do you like the Kuzma better? | |
| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Slaw, Please don't misunderstand... I was commending you, not criticizing! "Posting maniac" was supposed to be a compliment and a nod to your excitement, – sorry I didn't deliver that too well in my response… In answer to your questions: Yes, the... | |
| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Hi All,It's been a while since I looked at this thread... Slaw, you are a posting maniac! Thanks everyone for keeping it alive with your enthusiasm. Especially now, I feel so fortunate to have purchased a Rock 7 when I did. Even with Max's manufac... | |
| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Hey Slaw,I use the original trough fluid that Max supplied, which seems to work really well for me.As for leveling issues, I bubble-level to the platter and the arm board surface. I use the smallest, lightest bubble level because on a suspended TT... | |
| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Congratulations, Slaw! Your new TT will astound you.I've had my Rock 7 for several years and I absolutely love it. I have yet to hear a better sounding front end... really, this is a special little known TT that when matched with my Helius Omega a... | |
| VAC Signature 2a Preamp Question Hey All your suggestions are good and appreciated. I agree with the ideas and warnings about where things "should" go... I've been looking at this set-up for a long time trying to find a way to give my gear more breathing room... but it's not re... | |
| VAC Signature 2a Preamp Question Gentlemen,Two issues with moving the power supply out of the rack: first, it looks so darn cool to have all four VAC logos lit up at night while tubes are glowing... (See rack photo on my system page). So, now that I've outed myself as one who car... | |
| VAC Signature 2a Preamp Question Thanks everyone, your advice is appreciated. I would normally call Kevin or Brent, but it seems like in my audiophile life, the hum-chasing episodes only happen on the Weekends. I know you're right, Maril555. With my components in a rack, it's dif... | |
| VAC Signature 2a Preamp Question Thanks for responding. Yes, it's grounded and I checked the connection. It's good.Any other potential culprits you can think of? | |
| Has anybody tried using single solid core cables? Hey everyone,Thought I would chime in since I just did this upgrade. From my experience, I can agree with the blanket statement quoted in the OP's posting. But that's just my experience, so far, FWIW.My system is rigged with 100% Anti-Cables for S... | |
| How does one "Get lost in the music"? Mr.Tennis, Before we all start questioning our sanity, I think this thread is not about merely enjoying music ÂÂ but what it actually takes to "lose ourselves" in the experience at this point in our lives. | |
| How does one "Get lost in the music"? Ack! sorry... I didn't express myself clearly, Tostadosunidos ÂÂ I was referring to when it was that I actually experienced stereo for the first time. I was all of 10 years old. I don't think I saw a cassette or 8-track tape for a few years afte... | |
| How does one "Get lost in the music"? Tostadosunidos, Yeah, I remember that era. But even earlier, in 1971 or so, I remember my first experience hearing STEREO playback. I was mesmerized  and for the life of me I couldn't understand how that tiny needle tracing a microscopic groove ... | |
| How does one "Get lost in the music"? Schubert and Tostadosunidos, I wish I could agree and I envy you both. If I could still get lost listening to my car stereo, it would have saved me years of obsessive behavior, untold shock therapy treatments (which I just found out are legal agai... |
