| Looking for some ideas There is a VAC 160i up on Audiogon today. It's at $6000 but while I don't have one I have heard one. And it blew me away. At half price and almost new it would most likely be the piece that you were thankful you found for a long long time. If I ha... | |
| Buiding listening room from scratch - need advice JMO but high efficiency speakers and SET is the most musical. Can't say I blame you going with digital front end but make it killer or everything will start to have a sameness to it that becomes boring. Careful with too dead of a room, and make it... | |
| Is Jim Smith's Book"Get Better Sound"Best Book ? I went over to Jim's place last winter. He's not too far away and I had read the book. The book is about as comprehensive and informative as one could imagine. Having recently put together a new system it has been the reference by which I am attem... | |
| Active crossover for 804S and Rythmik subs? Call Jim Smith. He's a firm believer in double subs and probably the expert on placement. At least after his Room Play session you will know everything is optimal. | |
| Green and Clapton Got copies of Seven Stars and End of the Game. Some good work for sure. Different but great listens. Washed them in the ultrasonic last week. | |
| Sell quality turntable to buy top CD player? I have a large vinyl collection, to me at least. About a thousand. CD's around 500.The vinyl sounds better with more variance between recordings. Almost gave up on it though.That said, It would be a reach to say it would be worth it to put togethe... | |
| Cartridge, Phono Preamp Hum Turns out a ground wire from phono pre wrapped around one leg of the table then hooked to the input of the table speed controller has done the trick. No kidding. | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Hi Spirit and yes. It seems that with maglev a bit more oil is needed in the reservoir. That and got everything level, no problems. One can really get an education on this site. Working on the remaining acoustical room issues. As much trouble as i... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea vs. BAT VK P-10 Phono Stage I have the BAT with upgraded caps and new transformers. Too tight for tube bloom for sure. I'm sure the Aesthetix has it's own positives, can't speak to that. The BAT hammers the music home though. | |

| Suggestions for speakers for my setup I have a pair of Zu Def 4s paired with Mcintosh MC60s, circa 1957. Just getting broken in. Bass-how badly do you want to hurt yourself? As above, If you want a listen contact me. Atlanta area. I'll check this thread periodically. Thought about the... | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova125 & sensitive speakers Ran a Decco 65 with Zu Def4s for about a month while my Mac60s were being refurbished. Dead quiet. | |
| What speakers work best with electronic music? Get the Tekton, if you're cost conscious here. Enzos or Pendraagons for the big sound. Up the line, Zu Def4s for all out. They won't break up and with 50-60 Watts OMG, will blow you up. Dynamics in spades. | |
