| My Harbeth C7ES-3 story... Congrats!I got some Harbeth P3ESR's this year and I'm totally smitten with them. The only speakers I'd replace these with would be the Compact 7s (or other larger Harbeth). Just magic sounding.I'm powering them with a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II ... | |
| VPI classic to ClearAudio maximum solution I had a Classic Anniversary - before they called it the Classic 1. I also had an SDS. I found the SDS wasn't really needed for the Classic to remain on speed. So, I sold that. After 12 years, I decided to buy a brand new Rega P3 when they were rev... | |
| PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR ASR only likes DACs from obscure makers in China that you’ve never heard of. The site’s owner proudly rejects listenability and many times has stated he never once listens to the equipment he tests.Even when he does find a mainstream product that ... | |
| Cartridge find Audio Technica AT155LC - any good? The AT 155LC is one of the very best MM cartridges from the mid-1980's. It sold for nearly $400 in 1980's dollars or in the low thousands of today's dollars.AT was at the top of their game and developing better and better cartridges just as CDs we... | |
| Which network streamer (without dac) Thanks Jack. I had glanced at the Lumin U1 Mini but I'll give it a second look. | |
| Suggestions for Harbeth P3ESR speakers I have P3ESRs with a Rogue Cronus Magnum II all tube integrated and the combination is fantastic. The CM2 is a 100w integrated. They have just come out with a CM3 that's $3,000 so many CM2 have hit the market in the $1,500 price range. And the "2"... | |
| Analogue-free system I’m an old guy. I like vinyl and digital, streaming Tidal MQA too. Sometimes I get on a streaming jag, other times a CD binge. But I alway come back to vinyl and know not to ever sell my ‘tables. Now you’ve let that sweet TT go. I hope you don’t r... | |
| I want to try a different tonearm on my classic I think the VPI website is serving up some doubtful info about the 250 MM spindle to pivot distance.See the 5 year old Vinyl Engine report on VPI's actual geometry numbers for the JMW 10.5i. It's actually 262mm.http://www.vinylengine.com/vpi-tonea... | |
| SL1200 upgrade tonearm or replace cartridge? I had a SL1200 and felt the same way about the tonearm. I bought an adapter for the TT to put a Rega RB300 that I owned on it. It was a real improvement.I ended up putting the table back to stock and selling it. I just never bonded with that TT. B... | |
| TT upgrade I had a HW-19 MK III for the past 5 years. I just replaced it with a VPI Classic (great 'table). The 19 is a really great table and one that has a million tweaks available for it as well. Some you buy and some DIY, too.I'll always charish the 19 a... | |
| What would happen if we had convenient turntables "Automatic lift up when side is over to avoid damaging your $680 cartridge . I sit nervously until the last track then I stand up to catch the arm" Gee, you must not be old enough to have left tt's running for days, nay, weeks by accident.You won'... | |
| Cartridge for a Rega P5? I've tried 2 Rega carts including their top o'the line Exact and I was very unimpressed with either one. They're easy to set up... and that's the end of the list of good things I found to be true about Rega carts.The P5 is a good turntable, go for... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus Jim, you need some larger photos on the website. Even on the order page where it says "click to enlarge" the enlarged photo is that same postage stamp-sized photo that shows nothing. | |
| VPI JMW setup I found the JMW9 hum problem to be best solved with good SHIELDED cables from the junction box to the phonostage. I do still need a ground wire from the junction box ground screw lug to the phonostage and I also tie that junction box ground wire i... | |
| VPI JMW setup Oh, what cart do I use. I have a couple that I use and interchange between them. I have a 1980's Audio Technica AT155LC MM cart which is fantastic and a Denon 103D MC cartridge that I love as well.I've ordered an Ortofon 2M Black MM cart which sho... |
