| Cartridge loading I am probably crazy for jumping into this conversation, but boldly going in; there is a lot conversation with a lot of experience on this subject, but from a engineering perspective, actual analysis can be pretty light, and the accuracy of vendor ... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! I have a TNT, but it has been significantly modified, I machined and added a 0.25" thick MIC-6 AL constrained layer plate to the bottom, and added a 2nd armboard courtesy of a delrin Avenger armboard and it sounds great, but the cost to manufactur... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! I was at CAF, and talked to Harry about this new table. First, its is not an Aluminum-Lucite-Aluminum layer, it is Stainless-Aluminum-Stainless, with the concept being to concentrate the plinth mass close to the Platter. So, the arm-boards, bein... | |
| Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable! Let me try this again, my discussion was not intended to imply that the aluminum platter was the cause, only a point of reference. I suspect that the very thin leather mat that I am using can more easily conduct the static electricity produced to... | |

| Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable! When I got back into vinyl a few years ago, I similar problems with a VPI aluminum platter and did an all on assult on the issue. I grounded the cartridge to the phono preamp and grounded the platter to the 120VAC wall source but using ground cab... | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. To everyone here, please take some time to go to OPs site and review the hardware he has, except for his preamp it is VERY high end. The amps are $20k a pair before mods, the DACs are $10k each, and I would bet the speakers are >>$25k, and ... | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. @brianlucey; your assessment brings up the age old observation that how a unit measures does not necessarily reveal how it will sound. The Boulder equipment, same as the Levinson generally measure impressively, but can draw different subjective o... | |
| Wyetech Having just received the Wyetech "New Jade", let me emphasize the quality and then the performance. Don't judge this book by its cover, appreciate the somewhat utilitarian case that is pure form follows function with easy to assemble/disassemble ... | |
| Kharma 2.0 upgrade to 2.2 differences Jim:The 2.2 is a signficiant difference over the 2.0. The 2.2 is much faster and more open in treble and mids, with a better defined soundstage. In my opinion, with my equipment and room treatments, the sound is not at all aggressive as indicated ... | |
| Shipping company for speakers- any good or bad one My experience with BAX was a nightmare. They damaged a pair of Kharma 2.0, and then refused to settle even after their own investigator concluded that they caused the damage. The problem with BAX, and some others, is that they are self insured - s... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" David Knopfler (of Dire Straits) "Wishbones". All original music with some haunting melodies. Guitar and piano are well recorded, and his voice is as capturing now as it was with Dire Straits. | |
| Better than Norah Jones...? Also check out ORNA The Very Though of You (A440 musicgroup). She has a much sweeter tone than the current jazz singers, and she is accompanied by some notable musicians including Brian Bromberg who also produced the CD. Brian Bromberg has a good ... | |
| Opinions on Graaf Amps I own a GM-100, which I use with Kharma 2.2's. The sound is very rich, dynamic and well layered. My only reservation is that the amp is alittle noiser than some. The amp has alot of gain, and the 6dj8/6922 input tubes are run very hard, so getting... | |
| Your approach to shipping electronics? I have also had problems with BAX Global. Even after their investigator agreed to the claim, the adjusters would not pay. As an altenative to a carton for double packing, consider a plastic storage container. I read an article where Joule Electra ... |
