| VPI Direct Drive Turntable IMHO opinion, VPI made a marketing mistake by making the Classic DD look like the rest of the Classic line, therefore, drawing unfair (?) comparisons to its lower cost brethren. If VPI design a new looking plinth, (like they did with the HRX whe... | |
| Audio Research cd8 production date I would hazard a guess that this was a used CD8 that was traded in to the HiFi shop. The previous owner probably told the HiFi shop that it was only a year old and the HiFi shop did not confirm this statement with ARC since it was a current model.... | |
| LFD Audio new DAC This is why you never saw a Wilson Watt/Puppy 4 speaker. Wilson does a lot of business in the far east, therefore, their marketing depatment decided to skip the number 4. | |
| Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ? The Dragons and the Verity Parsifal Ovation will work very nicely. | |
| VPI Classic III force gauge It sounds more like the scale manufacture used the wrong type of stainless steel. Ferritic stainless steels are generally magnetic while austenitic stainless steels are not. | |
| Tube Rolling in the Allnic LS-3000 Contact David at http://hammertoneaudio.com/ he knows everything about Allnic equipment and is very helpful. | |
| Room treatments on the ceiling? I use a ceiling mounted broad band absorber to eliminate first order primary ceiling reflections along with side wall treatments. The ceiling mounted panels help increase soundstage width, depth and dimension. At what frequencies are you experienc... | |

| Levinson 27.5 The 27.5 comes from the golden age of Mark Levinson. Well built, under specÂd (not like the 300 series) and very musical. Some describe the 23.5 and 27.5 sound as dark, but that was mostly attributed to the earlier 23/27 series. I am not familiar... | |
| Can good IC's be used instead of dedicated phono's A lot of the higher end phono cables use the same cable construction as their analogue cables with the exception of an external grounding wire and phono DIN connector (if applicable).If your table has rca outputs, just give your cable a try and ma... | |
| How Does Gold Wire Handle? Why don't you buy 300 grams of gold and make a cable your self?From a DIY perspective, I would say that would be almost impossible to do. | |
| VPI Classic hum The latest versions of the Classic tables now have the motor mounted at the rear of the table and farther away from the cartridge. Perhaps this helps with some motor/cartridge hum interaction. | |
| Audio Research cd8 production date 2008, it must be from the first production run. | |
| How Does Gold Wire Handle? Why dont any of the big cable companies use pure gold as their conductors in their top line?24k is solid gold, but far from pure. Can you get 6N pure gold? | |
| AMG Turntable size Don't forget to take into account the counter weight overhang over the plinth. Give yourself a minimum 2 inches around the entire table. If you design it too precise, then you will be forced to lift the dust cover straight up with little error. To... |
