| Living Voice Mystic Mat Experiences I have used the Mystic Mat and have had good results, but record mats are turntable and system dependent. In my system and with my turntable, the music was more dynamic and the backgrounds became blacker with instruments better located in the soun... | |
| why felt? I think that you will find record mats are a form of tuning devices for your record player.Use a record mat to achieve your personal listening perference or to tame or modify the sound originally designed in the platter by the turntable designer. ... | |
| Ring fly wheel stabilizer vs none. As someone who has machined over 100 Outsider record weights for audiophiles all over the world, I have yet to have anyone of them comment that a) its a problem installing or removing the outside record weight, or b) that they ever experienced dam... | |
| Tips for gradual upgrade My thoughts are that if you have the flexibility, before you did anything, threat your room with bass management devices (RPG, Real Traps, etc) and deal with the difussion at the first and secondary reflection points. The sonic improvment is so si... | |
| Why are there so many Stealth Indra for sale now I agree with Calloway, what you see are mainly beta versions being sold off, not dumped. Most folks believe the production versions are better than the beta version. System matching is critical and again as Calloway points out, the Indra may be th... | |
| Best Upgrade? Not sure what is meant, when you say "...but obviously can not hear components at home"?However, I would suggest that you consider investing in those upgrades that help you establish the strongest foundation as possible for your music system. Othe... | |

| Outer Ring for VPI scout Without spending $$$$ I believe the VPI ring only fits the 12.25" platter. That's why you would have to buy the platter, bearing, and ring assembly.The ClearAudio record weight is indexed, by machining the inside diameter of the record weight to the outside diameter of... | |
| Watt/Puppy improvements One thing you might think about are either the Marigo tuning dots and or Harmonix tuning dots. I remember reading an article some time ago about the use of these tuning dots on both the drivers and around the binding posts. I remember this well, b... | |
| Audio Note copper vs silver cables: opinions? It might be helpful if you clarify you question by stating if its the Audio Note (Kondo/Japan) or the Audio Note (UK) cable that you are asking about. Completely different products. For Audio Note/japan, kondo's silver IC can't be beat. I have the... | |
| Freezer Cryoed Cables... Lots of jokes and wise-cracks, Richard was telling you what he did and what he heard, how about cutting our fellow AudiogoN'er some slack?? | |
| Is the Teres a i would like to address two points of this post. First, George, why don't you e-mail Chris Brady and ask him? Second, I think it should be the other way around. The audio magazines should ask a number of similar turntable vendors to submit samples... | |
