Alternative Rack to Salamander
Txlef,Try removing the glass doors and snug up any loose screw fasteners on the Salamander Twin 30 and see if that doesn't resolve most, if not the bulk of your "resonance issues".best,k btw- when your Salamander was assembled, did you use carpent...

Target VW2 Wall Stand
>>>Does it resonate or impart a sonic signature to the TT?EVERY device will impart some of it's own self generated signature but the VW is fairly benign with the stock Target particleboard shelving.The glass shelf version has a fairly str... 
Power Amp for Roksan Caspian system
I second the recommendation of biamping your integrated with the Caspian power amplifier.Adding the Caspian Power amp is a pretty significant upgrade.Use the Caspian Integrated to run the tweeters and the Power amp for the mid/bass drivers of your...

RE:>>>"A slight veil of control over bass and dynamics are the only bad things anyone has ever said about the Airy2 AFAIK. The Airy3 corrects that."<<<That would be very good news,indeed.Airy 2's lack of bass tunefullness & a... 
sistrum vs neuance
Hi Sutts, You'd probably be needing a Neuance C or D platform for this application, depending on the total combined weight of your monoblocs.Neuance C measures approx 1-7/8" in height,whilst Neuance D is approx 2" tall. Either model constructed to... 
turntable upgrade VPI or CLEARAUDIO?
I completely agree with Focusedfx. Arm damping of the Well-Tempereds is absolutely critical for success with these tables. Neither of your alternative table choices can compete in the qualities of tempo and pacing, with your current WTC when it's ... 
rega new tables p5 p7
I've been informally checking Rega decks for speed accuracy for the past year and of my admittedly small sampling (11 units to date), I have not been able to comfirm any consistant pattern of speed deviation for these turntables. All were decks ow... 
sistrum vs neuance
The Sistrum stands are an excellent support structure when used in conjunction with Neuance(with the platform placed atop the upturned spikes). The primary concern is that one has enough space between the rack tiers to accomodate the thickness of... 
VTA For Scout With Dynavector 20XH
Dynavectors in generally like to run with the armtube level to just a smidge tail down.They are not particularly VTA fussy so can be used over a fairly broad range of settings with good results. 
Roksan Radius - What can I replace the arm with?
Roksan uses "standard" Rega mounting geometry. You may drop in any Rega RB250/300/600 or Roksan Nima/Tabriz/Artemiz.The Rega RB700/900/1000 with their 3 screw fixing can be easily installed without modification to the table.Other tonearms brands s... 
What's supporting your speakers?
I use Mana Soundstages beneath Neat Ultimatum MF7's. Also with a money back guarantee and exceptional performance.The design effectively breaks the feedback loop from speaker to floor and back towards the system whilst providing for increased reso... 
standard counterweight vs drop counterweight
Actually, hardmounting does just the opposite- it restricts the reactive energies of playback a means of termination and are thus stored and re-released, feeding back down the arm to the pick up where it's often perceived as an increase in dynamic...
