| "Breathing" of the air >> you live for the hate....<<Not at all.Please re-read my earlier post. It was your "hot air" remark which precipitated this exchange. The intitiation was not mine.However, if you're going to give, be prepared to take and not whine ab... | |
| Wilson better than Thiels? With appropriate amplification I believe most of us could live comfortably with either Wilson or Thiel.Both are fine products. | |
| mono versus stereo ampflication >>They normally have better bits and pieces inside of them as compared to their stereo counterpart,<<That folks, is simply BS. | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s >>but the point still stands<<Indeed it does.Check your alignment and loading.There is nothing wrong with the software.Please stop by and I'll prove it to you.Good luck in correcting the problem(s). | |
| What tonearms are compatible with a Scoutmaster? In theory longer tonearms offer an advantage. Unfortunately, they present problems including rigidity and resonance issues in some, but not all, cases.It's interesting to note that most of today's, what many consider, "reference" tonearms such as ... | |
| Cartridge upgrade for VPI Scoutmaster Yes I know.My position remains unchanged. The XV-1s cannot be optimized in that tonearm. Nor can the Zyx Universe. Nor can the Transfiguration Orpheus. And on and on.Thank you. | |
| What tonearms are compatible with a Scoutmaster? Why not simply upgrade the table and tonearm together?An excellent tonearm and average cartridge will outperform an average tonearm and excellent cartridge all day long. | |
| Denon 110 on Rega P5: nice >>Have you considered a Zu Denon Dl103?<<That cartridge weighs 14 grams and given its' very low compliance is a terrible recommendation. | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT Given the OP's choice, I would select the Pasifal all day long. It is a very natural sounding speaker with beautiful tonal purity.The WB ACT is much too clinical and Magico V3 incredibly overpriced.All of course IMO and I have no financial interes... | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s I have thousands of original pressings from the 60's and 70's and couldn't disagree with you more.Check your alignment and loading. | |
| Marantz vs Mcintosh Before making a clutch decision and changing gears I would do a standard audition. | |
| Atma-Sphere amps work with Acoustic Zen Adagios ?? The S-30 does not have enough horsepower to drive the Adagios properly.Speaking strictly Atma-Sphere, MA-1 is the best choice.Dealer disclaimer. | |
| Cartridge upgrade for VPI Scoutmaster >I'd like to buy a Dynavector XV-1 and be done with it, but worry that my JMW-9 Signature won't do it justice.<It won't.However, very few $1000 tonearms will optimize the XV-1s; you are not alone.Don't let money burn a hole in your pocket. F... | |
| Turntable sound bad Based on the OP description it's highly unlikely anti-skating is the culprit.It seems like a simple case of mis-alignment. | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r FYI.I tried the Zu/Denon DL-103 on a number of tonearms here with the following results. Keep in mind this cartridge weighs 14 grams unlike the standard Denon.SME-309 poor to fairHadcock 242 poorTri-Planar good to very goodBasis Vector good to ver... |
