| Van den Hul Frog on a VPI JMW 12.5 tonearm? I'm running a Frog on a VPI Aries with JMW 10 arm. I'm using the SDS speed controller as well. Music just comes out of the black. An excellent cartridge. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be a good match for the HRX and 12.5 arm.Best,Paul :-) | |

| How to clean BAT CDP? What's it doing Dan? Skipping?My friend with the same player had to replace the transport after like 6 years of use. BAT gave him quick turnaround, and it wasn't as expensive as I had thought.Best,Paul :-) | |
| Best speakers of the group? Your opinions please I'll second the recommendation for the Aerial 20t. I've had big Infinity planars, (IRS-Beta), Wilsons (WP6), B&W (Matrix 800, 800 Signature), Maggies(3.5r) and many many more and I've lived with my 20t's for over a year and I still have no des... | |
| "...Pet Free..." Cats like warm spots. I had to train my cat to stay off my Levinson 33's and 33H's. Cat dander can easily get through cooling vents in anything a cat may lay on.For me, I cover all my components when not in use, this aids in cleaning, and prevents... | |

They were wonderful with female jazz type combo and light music however fell down completely when playing larger-scale classical pieces.Bes... | |

| Mark Levinson 33H vs Musical Fidelity KW Mono Amps I replaced a pair of Classe' M-1000 monoblocks(1000W@8ohms)with 33H's a few years back. Although the Classe amps were rated almost 5 times more output than the 33H, there was no contest. The current capability of the 33H and 33 Levinson amplifiers... | |
| Counsel on adding dedicated lines "Look at main panel replacement if you see glass fuses."Why? If you have a main panel with glass fuses then it's time to update the service. When I did so I opted for a large industrial panel with plenty of room for expansion.This has made it very... | |
| Counsel on adding dedicated lines Look for an electrician that'll do what you tell him. Use 10GA wire. Look at main panel replacement if you see glass fuses.Have the electrician install new ground rod(s) with copper clamps. Best,Paul :-) | |
| Best Upgrade I've ever made Yeah but you have not addressed aC noise yet. That will be the next major upgrade and I don't mean buying a line conditioner.In my case AC noise is not an issue. The Levinson 33's and the 32 both regenerate their power.My electrical service to the... | |
| Best Upgrade I've ever made Congratulations! There's nothing like dedicated lines.I experienced similar benefits when I spent a weekend doing 7 dedicated circuits to my listening room. It took me two weekends to finish it all, and it was worth every minute. I used hospital g... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? How am I going to audition all of them in my system? Are you going to give me the money? Truth is, most of us can only go on the reviews and comment of others as a starting point.If you are going to ask, then expect to have many different response... | |
