Counterfeit DL103? Yeah I should have known - this is another one for the ever expanding file of "man if you think you got a crazy good deal you probably didn't fool" | |
Counterfeit DL103? It's definitely not a 110 or 160. Looks exactly like a DL-103 - only difference I see from numerous pictures on web is that the stem that holds the cantilever is red and not white.It's clearly a counterfeit - seller just got back to me and said he... | |
Counterfeit DL103? Nope. Guy in Jersey. Asian guy in Jersey. Had 100% positive feedback but not that many, maybe 5 or so. Kind of think he was hustling me given the price, he had to know something. | |
Help with counterweight on VPI JMW 3d tonearm BTW thanks for your help | |
Help with counterweight on VPI JMW 3d tonearm Well there you have it - I got it loosened. Having never seen one of these teardrop counterweights without a screw I was sure it was screwed on there somehow and so I didn't want to apply too much pressure to move it and scratch the arm. But I jus... | |
Help with counterweight on VPI JMW 3d tonearm But doesn’t every vpi counterweight have a set screw at the top of the weight, on the perimeter, that screws into the tonearm? Because this counterweight does not have that screw. My classic 1 JMW arm had such a weight - you loosen the screw at th... | |
Upgrade Triton two to Triton two + I will definitely report back Rackon. I have listened to quite a few speakers in the sub-10k territory at this point and haven’t heard anything that conclusively felt to me like an upgrade over the T2. Given that I got the T2 for $1400 used it’s h... | |
Upgrade Triton two to Triton two + Thanks so much for the input Rackon. I’ve been getting divided opinions at the Goldenear site, with many saying that they didn’t think going from T2 to T2+ would be that big a jump though a few dissenters on that. Many votes there for going to the... | |
Upgrade Triton two to Triton two + Anyone? Just not a lot of feedback out there on this question... my dealer only has the T2+ and without the original T2 to reference against... not to mention being in an unfamiliar room with different amplification... I really can't tell much bas... | |
VAC sigma triode preamp? To be clear - the VAC sigma triode retailed when new for 6k with a 1600 mm/mc option. The used one available near me is much cheaper than that and it has the mm/mc phono stage. There is not a current VAC pre that I know of that is in my price rang... | |
Shindo Auriegies MM - Blue styrofoam under tubes? I kind of feel that way too but guy who sold it to me just emailed and said he’d left it in. Listening to it now with it in - sounds... you know. Like magic. But I just can’t imagine it’s supposed to be in there | |
Auditorium 23 with Dynavector 20x2l? Well we'll see. If the A23 doesn't mate well with the DV20x2 I may have to flip it bc I'm feeling like the DL-103 is not the greatest match for my VPI Classic. It's always something. | |
Auditorium 23 with Dynavector 20x2l? So to follow up I've called two dealers - Don Better one of them - and both said that the DV20x2l would work with the A23 standard. Don suggested the SUT-200 as a better fit but of course it's $2600. I'm listening to less vinyl these days and actu... | |
Auditorium 23 with Dynavector 20x2l? Dah... let you know what? | |
VAC Sigma 160i SE or ARC LS26/Primaluna Dialogue Premium I don’t love the blue light thing either, but then I also have the PS audio direct stream JR which is a blue light scene as well so at least it will match. You can also turn off the VAC light when it’s not running. I’m leaning against right now, ... |
