| Vpi Scout to VPI Aries 2/3 tt ? I have the original Aries with JMW 10 arm and a Van den Hul Frog cartridge. I'm also using the SDS motor controller. I couldn't be happier. This table is quiet beyond belief. A friend just bought a late-model used TNT, however I haven't heard it y... | |

| Mark Levinson 32 and reliability I have a 32 with Phono. No trouble at all.No desire to change it either.Best,Paul :-) | |
| Best Place to get Levinson 27.5 Amp repaired Levinson service is up and doing just fine here in Massachusetts.You should have no problem whatsoever with them.Best,Paul :-) | |
| ADS L-990 Ed's pretty much on the money. Myself I'd avoid the "M" series a/d/s speakers. L1290 and L1590 would be a good choice. Also consider the L980, with stands, and the elusive 910. I want to own a pair of 910's myself. If you are anywhere near central... | |
| Preamp $600-$1000 Ahhh ~!I own an older Levinson ML-3 amp. I was running Revel Gems with it, using a Quicksilver Remote Linestage preamp.The Quicksilver is single-ended, uses 2 6922 tubes and has a remote. This is one of the nicest sounding short buck preamps I've ... | |
| Servo controlled speakers and subwoofers LOL! Actually, I will be 50 in July! :-OBest,Paul :-) | |
| Servo controlled speakers and subwoofers What they call "servo" control is actually an accelerometer on the woofer's cone that reports back the movement of the cone. The servo box compares the report from the accelerometer to the actual signal and corrects the differences. Problem is wit... | |
| power cord too short? what now? You'll have to pick up the new and improved AudioPhiLe Cable Stretcher from Ronco Industries! A modern scaled-down version of the Midievel torture rack, scaled down to a size appropriate for AudioPhiLes.Best,Paul ;-) | |
| LP to oversampled CD-who does it? Oversampling comes in the reading of the CD by the player, not in the CD itself.Best,Paul :-) | |
| how much to $pend to claim i am an audiophile? To be a genuine audiophile you must have and wear an Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie . Without it you are a wanna be.Link:http://zapatopi.net/afdb/This is the latest audiophile "must have"Best,Paul :-) | |
| Does having an object inbetween the speakers bad? I have a large bigscreen TV between my speakers and it makes no difference whatsoever. I rolled it down the other end of the room and A/B'd the difference. None that I and my "golden eared" buddies could hear. It's a big bugger too, 65" Mitsu. Pic... | |
| CD player that out performs BAT VK-D5SE ? After having both the D5 and the D5SE I have to say it is a tough player to beat. I agree that the SE may lack that last bit of detail and resolution however it makes it up handily with musicality.I moved on to a Levinson 390S which for my ears ha... | |
| Anyone Experienced With Revel Gems and Sub15/LE1 Unless you are really playing LOUD, I would run the Gems full-range. Most subwoofer on-board crossovers do more to degrade the sound than improve it.You would need a preamp with two sets of outputs to run the Gems full range. One set of outputs to... | |
| Anyone Experienced With Revel Gems and Sub15/LE1 Do yourself a favor and if you need a sub with the Gems buy the newer sub30. Far more reliable. Revel had nothing but trouble with the LE1 amps, not to mention when running through the LE1 crossover, the sound was "not so good".A friend had the Ge... |
