| Just Bought a VPI Scout Not to disagree with the other carty advice above, but I agree with Stringreen's advice that you should check with Mike at VPI before putting cash down. As I've mentioned in other threads, I pulled out what little hair I have left trying to match ... | |
| VPI 10.5i - Which armwands do I own? Call or e mail Mike at VPI. He'd be more than happy to help. | |
| CartageRrecommendations, totally lost. As an owner of Vandy 7s, you should get a cartridge that is worthy of that speaker. I've gone through my own cartridge tsouris and am hesitant to make a recommendation. The problem with cartridges is that there are so many out there, it's hard to ... | |
| California Audio Show-why I hate audio conventions Buconero, I have to agree with you. Lately, my wife suggested that I think about a career change and get into hi end audio. I explained that it ain't what what it used to be 40 years ago. Today, HT, so called hi-rez (yeah, sure) and PCs and Apples... | |
| ARC VS-115 Amp with new KT-120 Tubes My mains are Paradigm Signature 8 v2 (beryllium tweeters). They seem to match well with the VS 115. | |
| Audio Research VS 115 KT120 comments ? See my threads which fully address your OP. | |
| What is Phase Angle and Shifting? To all: The following post appears on another OP relating to inductance and capacitance. So I'm posting it here because I think it is more on point with this OP. "I have a couple of follow up questions re your last comment. You mention in your las... | |
| What is Phase Angle and Shifting? Ok thanks. I get the picture. The topic is a can of worms. Let me try to simplify the question a little. In the context of tube versus SS amps, I recall reading comments that certain speakers can be hard to drive for certain amps because impedance... | |
| Noice from fan in Audio Research VT 100 MK III Rdavwhitaker makes a fair suggestion about sending the VT 100 MkIII back to ARC for a check-up, which would include looking over the fan. I recommend raising the question with Calvin. Having said that, I checked the ARCDB web site and see that ARC... | |
| Noice from fan in Audio Research VT 100 MK III Arenakbt, strongly recommend that you call Calvin at ARC and discuss problem with him. There's a couple of threads current or recent running on A'gon which speak to the deleterious effects of heat on elelctronic parts, particularly certain types o... | |
| Two physical grounds?? Magfan, maybe it's is a local thing, but every licensed electrician who has been in the house for one reason or another says that as long as we don't mess with the old romex and don't overload the outlets, the old stuff is stable. To undertake wha... | |
| Which speakers... B&W 802D or Vandersteen 5A's? Bob, I am going to regret this post because I may touch off another speaker war. We lost a lot of A'gon members at the last "Clash of the Titans" (pun intended). RIP guys. :( Btw, as an aside, there's a post currently running asking members to lis... | |
| Two physical grounds?? Magfan, maybe they're really old?? Otherwise, I think most folks just slap a three prong into the outlet, but don't ground it. As I mentioned in my post, my house is old, maybe built 50-55 years ago and was wired with 2 wire ungrounded romex. When... | |
| Audio research vs audio valve Hi Johnson, I own an ARC VS-115 and am extremely happy with it. Another factor to consider is factory support. ARC does a great job in that area. Any questions or problems, just call Cal. Something else to consider is that the VS-115, like many ot... | |
| Two physical grounds?? Tio, on the one hand you mention that "the house outlets are of [a] type that accept a 2 prong plug." On the other hand, when raising the possiblilty of installing a separate dedicated grounding rod for the line conditioner, you mention the new ro... |
