| Anthem MX-700 says 'no signal' Just turn it off, then on again. It will reset itself and work just fine. My 500 does this as well. | |
| Anyone tried Soundsmith VPI Zephyr MI Cartridge I have a Classic 1 table and am contemplating the Zephyr cartridge. For those already using the Zephyr - what phono stage have you found works well? I'm using the Simaudio Moon LP 5.3 and would like to upgrade shortly after a cartridge purchase. C... | |
| Living Voice for Shindo? I'm using the Mastersound 300b PSE integrated amp. Four power tubes for a rated 24 watts. I've exchanged emails with Living Voice and the least they recommend is 15 watts. They suggested the compact version of the 300b Mastersound or one of New Au... | |
| Living Voice for Shindo? I run my IBX R2's with a 24watt 300b amp. Living Voice suggests at least 20 tube watts. I never run my amp more than 1/3rd throttle in my 20 x 12 listening space. I don't think you'd be getting much out of your LV speakers with just 15watts, however. | |

| Resolution Audio Opus 21 s80 Integrated Amp I've not heard the amp, but the CD player is definitely not the problem. I once ran the Opus21 with a SS Simaudio integrated, Cardas NR and Totem Sttaf speakers; this combo was very good with rock music. | |
| Almost Time to Replace My DV-20xl I've been contemplating the Soundsmith Zephyr. There's subjective talk, relating to the Zephyr here in the forums; also check out the Soundsmith site. You may have to spend less than you think, for a sizable improvement?Sorry, no experience with t... | |
| VPI Scout - slow speed , help ? I thought I would update this post for future reference. Initially, the pulley was loose on the motor drive-shaft which caused the pulley to slip, resulting in slow platter speed. After tightening the pulley's set-screws, the platter ran fast. At ... | |

| Tubes for Mastersound 300BSE Hi, I have the Mastersound PSE and I've done a bit of rolling recently. I've purchased 4 new Sophia princess carbon plates which were a dramatic improvement over the standard Electro Harmonix tubes. If I did it again, I might try the Sophia mesh-p... | |
| What is your source for discovering new music? Nearv - Thanks for your directions. Folk Alley is pretty cool! | |
| What is your source for discovering new music? In the 1990's I'd scour thrift stores for albums of decent physical quality; 50 cents to two bucks per record was cheap for my early music education. Today I surf Pitchfork.com for new music, listen to 88.5 KPLU out of Seattle for jazz (past and p... | |
