| Anyone know anything about new VPI Classic 3 arm? Harry is a marketing genius, and he keeps reinventing his bank account now that three d printing will enable him to turn out $2400 silliness, on end. Beware, there has not been any real improvement in Harry's products in decades, just wealth creat... | |
| Speaker type/placement advice... Best you first read Floyd Toole's book on 'Sound Reproduction'. Floyd is the master on your subject. Without reading his book you will never know what good listening is all about. | |
| Is a tube phono better than ss? Its complicated. I have both. My experience is that it mainly speaker dependent. Also a factor is whether the solid state is Class A circuit design. So, there is no clear answer to the question. Best to find a dealer that will let you try various ... | |
| Pre-recorded Reel-to Reel tapes E-Bay. Yes, pre recorded R2R tapes are hard to find, but e-bay has a vast selection. While most are 4 track, 3.75 speed, the treasurers are 2 track, 7.5 speed. A while back a Miles/Blue of the latter vintage went for almost $2K. Barcley Crooker ta... | |
| The Tannoy Speaker Line - worth a serious look ? Not really, as for the sound they produce, they are not a good value. My first speaker was a Tannoy, and it did sound great. Fast forward fifty years and technology has passed Tannoy by in many ways. I do return to listening to Tannoy's from time ... | |

The progress in the hearing aid field has been unbelievable, especially in work that Mead Killion h... | |
| Equalizers-Using to compensate for hearing loss I am puzzled that what you are trying to achieve cannot be done by your hearing aids themselves. Most high quality aids are programmable to a specific response curve that can be exactly matched to your hearing loss. Also, most high quality aids do... | |
| looking for musical Tube Integrated Amplifier I am a fan of the Cayin/Vas line. Great sound, great value and great service, which is seldom if ever needed. I have four of their units. My favorite is the 100t which I drive ProAC speakers. check them out at cayinusa.com Tell Steve that Ken sent... | |
| Best Speaker for classical music I second the Wilson recommendation if you have a room that can make full use of them. Remember the sound you get is a function of the speakers and the room itself. Lastly, I have heard the JBL Everest DD 66000 and do not think they are serious con... | |
| Found High End Classic System, have questions. Forget about work on your TT, too costly even if you could find someone who knows what they are doing. Best move on to something reasonable priced that is new. Yes, when it comes to mechanical things best to move on. | |
| Use Your Own Ears Hopefully new people to this hobby learn your lesson early in their experience, not only will they save more money to buy more media, but the joy will come earlier. | |
| Turntable suggestion -- budget.. or not? Used Denon 47F should satisfy your needs. Don't buy of these unless you can pick it up, otherwise you will be wasting your money. | |
