| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? Apologizes to the OP, Ggavetti I responded to you, but wrote Roscoeiii by mistake that'll teach me to post at 3:00AM... I was too distracted by music to think straight! Anyway, I hope you get a chance to experience what Roscoeiii, myself and... | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? Roscoeiii,I've owned the Rock 7 with all the upgrades available (Excalibur 3 Arm, Adjustible mounting plate, Merlin 3 Motor and regulated Power Supply) for over a year now and I simply cannot get enough of it. While researching, I read all the rev... | |
| Best MC step up transformer I have the Bob's Devices flagship SUT... It's $1200 and results have been dramatic! See my review posted here (link below). | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Whart- thanks, it's really all about the hobby for me. Music makes me smile, cry (yup), and shout what I consider "happy profanities" from my listening chair when my system surprises me.Hifimaniac- not only did we have a similar experience, we hav... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Gentlemen,After weeks of anticipation torture, I finally received my Signature mkIIa preamp with the MC/MM phono stage! I guess I got in just under the wire, because after January 1st the price has gone up to $23,000 including phono stage, which n... | |
| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? "It's just not possible to build and market a TT for that price and get top performance. "Generally, I agree... unless, as in this case, a game changing relatively inexpensive idea is at the heart of the design, allowing the TT to reproduce music ... | |
| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? I own the Townshend Rock 7. I've been listening to vinyl as my main source since 1973 and I am a picky SOB. I would easily put my TRock up against tables many times its price. The reason behind my confidence is not the overall build quality (there... | |
| I’m looking for suggestions for a tube Pre Amp Look for a used VAC Standard LE for $2k to $2.5k. It is designed to play well with most systems and the sound is glorious. Best kept secret in preamp cost/performance.Enjoy your search! | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? I spoke to Kevin today, and in his inimitable quiet manner (I could practically see his smile over the phone) he hinted that maybe possibly there's an outside chance that if the phase of the moon intersects with the Dow Jones moving average that t... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Oh no! Say it's not true... not yet!As I wait patiently for my Signature 2a with Phono stage to arrive (read: pacing back and forth in my listening room mumbling to myself), and looking forward to once, just once in this crazy ultra-expensive ridi... | |
| Crappy sounding "audiophile" LP's? Warning: Major Rant ahead!Don't get me started... I have wanted to believe the reviews, but like you, I've spent too much time and money shopping for, cleaning, playing and almost always screaming bloody murder at those liars who betrayed my trust... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Bill and Al, Thanks once again for sharing your experience and weighing in on my never-ending questions.HifiManiac, Thanks for advice on tube-rolling the Sig2a... I'll let everything break in fully with the stock tubes first before starting to pla... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Thanks Al and Bill. Your advice and suggestions are appreciated. If you're open to more questions (anyone jump in here), here are a few that have bubbled up through my dark grey matter in preparation for my new pre:1. Now that I'll have both amp a... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Thanks you guys! I wasn't planning to try anything without asking Kevin, but your advice has helped me be more prepared for the conversation.I found this CD from Granite Audio and here's what they say:Using this CD to burn-in your phono section wi... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? JWM, thanks. I look forward to getting that CD phono stage burner... That seems like a no brainier! I assume I would just have feed the cd player into the phono inputs... Does it do MM/MC at the same time, or does each stage burn in separately? |
