| VSi60 Tube Amp Startup Power Needs Your welcome Stu. First off, Kal is the expert and he knows his gear backwards and forwards. So you should follow his advice. Second, I understand your question about separate circuits and ground wire issues, but I think a separate house circuit i... | |
| Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put? Agree with Stringreen. Also, if you haven't lubed the main platter bearing and motor bearing, that's a simple tweak. Be sure to use the right lubricants. A center clamp and periphery ring clamp are also reasonably priced tweaks and will help a lot... | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- When you buy new furniture more for the beneficial effects it has on room acoustics than aesthetics. Here's a post I just made on another thread:"Buy a Raymore & Flannigan leather recliner loveseat coach. It fixed an annoying room bass node pr... | |
| Are there guidlines to fix strange room acoustics? Buy a Raymore & Flannigan leather recliner loveseat coach. It fixed an annoying room bass node problem. Plus it doubles as a back messager because the absorbed bass energy vibrates the whole coach. :) | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? Stringreen ... please straighten us out here. | |
| Anyone know anything about new VPI Classic 3 arm? P.S. -- Stringreen -- take a look at my thread on Andy Kim, a retipper. You may find the comments of interest, especially those from Dougdeacon about the Lyra Kleos. I know you have and like the Benz LP S, but at some point, you may want to road t... | |
| Anyone know anything about new VPI Classic 3 arm? Thank goodness your back String .... Hope you had a great vacation. Did you see Nanutac on his sailboat yacht?? No joke. So ... is it worth obsessing about, i.e., dreying (yiddish for bugging) Jack's or Mike's kupft (yiddish for head) about doing ... | |
| Anyone know anything about new VPI Classic 3 arm? So where is Stringreen to sort this out for us??? | |

| Ayre V-5xe pops off/Manley Shrimp Glad to read the good news Bill. Although not very likely, because you mentioned the amp just came out of the closet, I wonder if it amp needed a little time to reform caps. Six (6) months doesn't sound like a long time ... but who knows. You migh... | |
| Ayre V-5xe pops off/Manley Shrimp Excellent point Truemaineiac. | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic @ Oakiris -- that's looks like the correct site.@ Swampwalker -- yup, that's my recollection too. Sometimes I just can't believe so many years have gone by. I'm still so young at heart. I still love looking at pretty young ladies. Was just spinnin... | |
| VSi60 Tube Amp Startup Power Needs Hi Stuart, this issue has come up before. A while ago, I also spoke with Kal, ARC's customer service rep, about the wisdom of using power regenerators and conditioners for my gear. My amp is the ARC Ref 150, which is rated at 150 wpc (8 ohms). My ... | |
| Is a tube phono better than ss? Schubert, speaking just for myself, replacement power tubes can become an expensive proposition for sure. My amp takes 8 KT-120s and 4 6H30s. ARC charges over $100 per KT-120 (2000 hours life) and over $60 (as I recall) per 6H30 (3500+ hours life)... | |
| Anyone know anything about new VPI Classic 3 arm? Thanks Brf. Not sure I want to really fiddle with the arm. I just got my Lyra Kleos back and I spent a little time setting it up. It's working real nice. As the adage goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." |
