VPI Classic hum
Epilogue: Mike, the VPI customer service rep, came through 100% as I surmised. I recently sold my Clear Audio cartridges for scrap/re-tip credit. As mentioned above, the Maestro's cantilever disappeared into the Fifth Dimention (not the pop group ... 
Inexpensive Phono Cables Recommendations
To All: thank you very much for the suggestions. I will collate the advice, check around and make a final decision. As I mentioned in the OP, I am using plain vanilla-all purpose RCA cables. Absolutely nothing special. Maybe two tweaks north of tw... 
Inexpensive Phono Cables Recommendations
Hi Macdadtexas. I was able to source a practically new VPI Zephyr cartrdige for a fair price. Not a steal, but fair. Frankly, I bought the Zephyr in part because of A'gon comments like yours. As you might pick up from my posts on other Foruum thre... 
Inexpensive Phono Cables Recommendations
Cmalak, Not quite sure how it's relevant, but my CDP and line stage are connected with Kimber Hero XLR cables, and the line stage and the power amp, the same. It seems to me that if the critical connect is from the TT to the Phono Pre, then I'm ta... 
4 or 8 ohm with Harbeth
I own an ARC VS-115 which has 4 and 8 ohm taps. Although my fronts are nomonally rated at 8 ohms, the impedance drops to 4+ ohms in low bass. A couple of A'gon technies suggested that I try both taps and use the taps that sound better. I did. Inte... 
Pls recommend a tupe pre under 2500 for my system.
Interesting comment Darlmoebius about ARC pre's that use the 6H30 tube. I've read numerous posts here and there that seem to make the point that the 6H30 tube makes ARC amps and pre's sound more analytical, almost "SS-like." At this point, the onl... 
Pls recommend a tupe pre under 2500 for my system.
My gear is all Audio Research Corporation (ARC) and I am extremely satisfied with the sound quality, build quality and cutosmer support. As I have mentioned in other threads, I try to shy away from making specific recommensdations. However, I ment... 
Best phono box for Rega P3-24TT/ Dynavector MC
Hi Dwette, sorry for going off topic here, but would you mind sharing a few comments about your DV 20X2H. In particular what you like and dislike about it. I ask because I have the same cartridge. If you prefer, feel free to send me an e mail thro... 
How many electrons?
Kijanki, can you repair the old bucket of steam and shelf-stretching machine that I used in college? I think they lost their high quality electrons too. Thanks. 
How many electrons?
Liz, a bunny rabbit doesn't like one cat, least of all a herd of cats. Which raises another interesting question for the Forum. If cats travel in herds rather than packs or pods, how do electrons get around? I never heard of an electron herd, pack... 
How many electrons?
Yeah Liz, and what about the bunny rabbits??? 
How many electrons?
Al, Carl said he forgives you. But just one more thing, why hasn't anyone given any thought about the poor forgotten angels and the lonely pin-head?? Sorry, the problem is I care too much about the feelings of others. Time for the meds. Later. Bru...

Hey Al, so . . . you agree with Bill (Audiofiel). What do you have against Carl Sagan (not bifwynne)??? 
Vinyl composition effect on noise floor
Mofi, my LR record is real and can be played. It really doesn't sound all that bad. It's definitely not a picture album. BTW, the name of the album is Living in the USA, and as I found out after reading a Wikipedia write up on LR, the LP sold pret...
