| Swapping Cartridges on the DV 507MKII The XV-1s weighs about 4 grams more so you'll need to adjust VTF.I've never swapped these cartridges in a 507II but sure would check the VTA before lowering the arm.The 507II/XV-1s combo is breathtaking IMODealer disclaimer | |
| Looking for a entry level audiophile turntable Dollar for dollar and with regards to value, the Music Hall MMF-5 smokes the VPI Scout.So does the KAB.So does the Marantz.Regas are decent values but VPI is overpriced for almost every model. And in the Scout series you're stuck with the JMW-9 to... | |
| Are the JL Fathom subs really that good.... No experience with JL Fathom but plenty of other subs.Depending on the room, it is possible to integrate a subwoofer into a 2 channel system.It takes time and patience. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Just a brief update to my previous post in which I challenged Mr. Kaits as to whom the Audiogon community would trust and/or consider more credible him or me.In a series of "spirited" email exchanges in which I defended the readership's experience... | |

| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Mine is with real world audio components Geoff. Almost 50 years now.To compare my knowledge with a clock and rock salesman is really disingenuous.If the readership had to choose between the two of us for advice, I believe it would be a easy and qu... | |
| is getting a tube pre a valid option with ss amp? >>The individual who chooses to make a 10 component design isn't as good a designer. Complexity does not in any way prove an engineer is good<<You should contact Ralph Karsten (Atma-Sphere), Jim White (Aesthetix), etc. and share your e... | |

| Spades or bananas connectors? In a series of blind tests you couldn't hear the difference among spades, bananas, and bare wire.Don't kid yourself. | |

| History on ohm A's and F's. It's a nice speaker; good value for the money. | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. Mapman,I heard them at a customer's house with a pair of Pass XA60.5 amps.I can't give you an honest comparison for 2 reasons. First, I haven't heard a pair of properly driven F's for almost 20 years and it wasn't in the same room as the 5-S3 whic... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones >>The only explanation is what you hear with your own ears!!<<Not coincidentally, you hear what you want to hear.This is true for all tweaks including rocks, clocks, and other forms of snake oil. | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. The 5-S3 is a nice speaker, a good value.However, it is not an Ohm F but nothing else is either.The F is among my favorites of all time which includes Apogee Duetta, Quad 57, and Magnepan 20. You can see I am partial to panels or speakers that rep... |
