| classic sounding 25 watt tube amp Cayin or VAS (citation monos) units are the way to go. Most of their units are 'voiced' to classic tube gear. I have both Cayin and VAS units, great sound and value. I also have a Dynaco clone, Sound Valves M60 mono blocks. They also sound great a... | |
| VPI HW-19 Upgrade question SAMA or SDS? I vote for the SDS, which I use on a VPI, and it was a big improvement. Now about Stringreen's comment on pitch. I have many pre-recorded reel to reel tapes. Two of my tape machines have pitch controls. But given VPI's approach I assume putting an... | |
| is getting a tube pre a valid option with ss amp? Only a complete tube chain will make a significant improvement, especially with vinyl media. | |
| upgrade from JMW 10 to 10.5 fpr my VPI Aries 1 I don't think going to 10.5 will add the much of an improvement. I'll expalin. I have an Aries I, with a 10.5 arm, clearaudio Victory H. Early this year I purchased another Aries with 12.0 arm, Benz MC 2. I fed the 12 into the same parts of my sys... | |
| Pioneer RT-707 reel to reel decks What will you use this deck for? Most people use it as 'eye candy', especially the 10.5 capable units. The latter don't have a high WAF. If your interest is to play original pre-recorded tapes, a 7 inch only unit is a better value and buy. For tho... | |
| Speaker cables.. Budget again.. With a twist... Yes, don't 'blind' your ears, go with Home Depot. Second yes, keep the lengths equal. I've had the ability to compare 12 gauge HD wire in my system with equal lengths of a pair of cables costing $5,500.00. No contest, HD sounded much better. The m... | |
| Blank cassettes.... ebay or craig | |
| best used VPI table? Aries, 10.5 arm, upgraded platter. | |
| The Better Table? Can't go wrong with either but I would skip the rim drive for now, it needs work as reports are surfacing on vibrations being pick up by the chartridges. Could be a problem specific to MC's but wait until it shakes out. I have the Aries. | |
| best choice for new processor for hd audio and 2 c Wait, wait, wait! Until the Blu-Ray media sound only starts to appear, and it will, all processors are a waste of money. Don't buy into the 'up grade path' nonsense. Once the br sound disks appear in greater number, less and less will happen in th... | |
| Recording Opinions Please Easy, the recording engr. that does the final mix. That person is what all the others get to judge. | |
| upgrade or all new? Sell off what you have and buy used as an upgrade. Don't buy anything new from a dealer, maybe demo's and b stock. Otherwise selling the old does not make sense. | |
| Playstation 3 Blue Ray quality - How good is it ? You bet, and the fact its software can be updated on line makes it future proof to a degree. Don't waste your money on a standalone yet. Be sure to have the remote that is made for the ps, it does it all. Be sure to get the blu-ray version of Plan... | |
| Your experience with Collectorz database...? I use Collectorz, music, book and video versions. Works well. I tried others and found this software worked the best, especially on the down load of information including art work. I also use their bar code device which intergrates well with their... | |
| Are you buying blu-ray versions of older movies? No, just br of 1080 source material like planet earth. Oh, can the playstation actual play regular dvd's? |
