| Digital out... does source matter? Go oppo 83se, best sound and video too. | |
| anyone else experience this problem? Problems that surface early in a VPI purchases are best taken care of by returning the unit to the dealer and having it completely replaced, at no cost to you. Otherwise, your sanity of this defective unit will be with you forever. | |
| HDMI 1.4 Beware of digital copyright problems on 1.4. There has been reported a real conflict with its implementation. | |
| disappointing VPI 16.5 performance?? Steam is the answer. Very inexpensive ($30)and when used in conjunction with the 16.5 should solve most of your problem. | |
| Cost effective way to absorb sound in a wall unit? Best to just change the speakers to a horn type, e. g. get the sound out of the cabinet by using a directional type speaker. With compression drivers there will be nothing in the cabinet. Add an external sub to pick up the bottom. | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES vs. Esoteric SA-50 I've heard these units in the same system set up and give the edge to the sony. Also, it is a better value and the warranty should give you additional benefits. | |
| PayPal Alternative? - What's your opinion? PayPal is all about 'buyer protection'. Seller's should look upon it as 'cost to sell'. None of the banking arrangements can provide the protection, so until that happens, stay with paypal if you are a buyer. | |

| Pioneer PL-L1000 A friend of mine had this unit, brought new, and had major maintenance problems with it. Could be sample specific, but in the used market it is hard to tell what its functionality would be. As always, all is relative to the price you paid. If your... | |
| Speaker cabinet made of real wood Proac Super Tablette and Response 2 speakers are veneered, not solid. The only solid speakers that I have run into that were solid were some Tannoy units made in the late 50's early sixties. The cost of solid's add cost, not performance. | |
| Speakercraft cinema dipoles in the ceiling????? No, putting dipoles in the ceiling defeats the purpose. | |
| garrard 401 the definitive true No. The 401 platform is an out dated technology, easily bettered by all belt drives. Rim drive, no matter what platform or arm is. VPI's version of rim tech is no better. oracle mk5 will sound much better. I had a 401 and found it very disappointi... | |
| Will increasing speaker height increase Soundstage All said and done, a center channel fill is the best way to improve your soundstage, no matter what speaker you use. |
