| Dynavector XV-1s and JMW 10.5i question First, I would disconnect the anti-skating. I find the XV-1s and XV-1t perform better without it in the 5 tonearms used here.Second, make sure your alignment is accurate. Dump the factory protractor and buy a Mint LP, Wally Tractor, Feickert, etc.... | |
| Pass Labs X250 meter failure Tpreaves you did not hurt my feelings, no problem.Your inexperience is understandable and certainly excusable.Good luck. | |
| Pass Labs X250 meter failure >>11-03-09: Tpreavesthey will more than likely replace the meter not repair it.It's easier and they can charge more!!<<That's an interesting take on a company with an impeccable reputation.First, many meters are sealed by the manufactu... | |

| Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison >>11-03-09: SirspeedyI've heard it all!!<<No way.Not a chance.Nope. | |
| Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison >>11-01-09: Dave_bI disagree, Bass drums never sounded so realistic<<Perhaps you've never heard a live bass drum.Maggies don't do it well. It's one of their limitations.Thanks. | |
| Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison >>11-01-09: Dave_bAcoustic instruments just seem to sound a bit more natural and uncompressed through say a planar speaker<<Possibly.But a bass drum or pipe organ won't.Every speaker is a trade off of some sort. | |

| Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison Every speaker has drawbacks and limitations.Buy/own the design which meets the budget, maintains matrimonial harmony, and maximizes your listening enjoyment.IMO | |
| Vinyl reissues I'm with Doak. | |
| Which inexpensive ic's cables worth checking out? Buff sells MIT and did not disclose his financial interest.Again.His recommendation is invalid for that reason. | |
| Stealth Indra vs Purist Proteus Provectus The conductor used in Hyperphono is not the same conductor used in Indra so I fail to see the merit in Jfrech's comparison.Dealer disclaimer | |
| Cartridges better than Colibri XGP? Raul, please note it was a Condor not a Colibri that was defective but that's not the case.Furthermore, I'm not faulting vdH. It was the distributor, Bluebird that was the problem.They are so bad the US agent dropped them as well. | |
| AMR CD-77 vs. Ayon CD-5 as DAC/USB & CD5 preamp Yeah, you're right.His analog front end must suck.Sorry. |
