| B&W 803 matrix ...too big for my room?? 12x11x8 I have the 803 matrix s2 and 801 matrix s3. Is the room for music only or a family room. Reason I ask - as long as then can be placed well into the room 5 - 6ft. and sitting nearfield as Elizabeth said. | |
| Woofers going crazy when playing vinyl I have an AI Modulus 3 and an ARC SP11 mk II. When using the AI with filter on there is still alot of woofer movement on my 801 matrix s3 speakers. When using the ARC preamp with filter on there is minimal movement. | |
| B&W 801 Matrix vs 802D? I have had a pair of 801 matrix s3 for years as my reference in my sound room. Every few years I bring in a different speaker to compare - the latest being the ET LFT8. Although a great sounding speaker on its own - it doesn't have the full sound ... | |
| TT Weights VPI center clamp If using a heavy TT weight on a vpi platter (I have the carbon fibre heavyweight) - you need to account for the indent in the VPI platter after removing the rubber washer. I didn't read about anyone on here bringing this point up. As per Mike at V... | |
| Replace VPI TNT rubber belt with nylon thread Can the silk thread be used on a TNT2 with 2 drive belts that only touch 3 points on the platter ? There was some regular 100% silk in the house. Thin stuff s303. I tried this out of curiosity. I got it to spin but it was too slow even when turnin... | |
| benz micro mc3 set up question Does a new cartridge which is less flexible do more wear on an lp until broken in? Should it played on just certain disposable type lp/s for 50 hours first? Or does it not matter. | |
| benz micro mc3 set up question I paid $250 for a complete rebuild not just a retip and it took 3 months. I will listen for a while then compare to the xv-1 on my other table and let you know. The service was great - I will use Soundsmith again. | |
| benz micro mc3 set up question Hi SstaussThis post is great timing. I acquired a Benz MC3 as part of TT (TNT,ET2)I bought 3 months ago. I knew it had to retipped and sent it to soundsmith. I just got it back this week and am trying it tonight for the first time- it sounds real ... | |

| Replace tnt2 springs with new vpi isolators? Thx for the tip Melm. I was able to call VPI and get them to cancel the isolators since they had not gone out yet. So its the whole ball and I just want to confirm that the part/s that Mike will sell me is all of the plastic gear below the ball? C... | |
| Replace tnt2 springs with new vpi isolators? Ray, the TNT for me is the new table with the HW19-mkIV just sold. Both with ET2 arms. I read on the web that the PLC needs to be at least 3 feet away from TT. It was on the shelf right below the TT before. I moved it away as far as possible. Went... | |
| Replace tnt2 springs with new vpi isolators? Ray -I am not sure but Mike probably personally prefers the spring suspension. He was just telling me what others have been saying to him and for $50 dollars its worth switching out and just giving it a try. Let your own ears decide which you pref... | |
| Replace tnt2 springs with new vpi isolators? They are listed under the HW19 section only - but looking at the springs on my HW19mkIV - they are the same as the ones on the TNT2 except for the 3 bearings on top of the HW19 version. Mike was saying they have been selling quite a few and people... | |
| Long or short wall Hi Pepp, I have a dedicated sound room but not the greatest in dimensions. About 24'long, 11' wide, just under 8' feet high. When I set up speakers on short wall the speakers b&w 801 s3 are closer to the side wall than I would like - woofers a... |
