Wilson Alexandria V2
Essentialaudio,Just to be clear, Maxxes have protective resistors. He is not blowing capacitors. Just resistors that are easily accesable and put in place to protect the drivers from being blown. Maxxes & Alexandrias both have these to protect... 
Please suggest good balanced Preamp
Sorry didn't read that.

Aria WV units. Meet specifications exactly.

No the arm itself can be raised & lowered at the arm pillar. Some designs, when you change the VTA, the arm's HTA shifts. I don't want to criticize designs but some top arms have this problem. The arm loses its position of pivot to spindle and...

Sonofjim,Since I have never personally compared the two tables I would have no comment about anything other than basic engineering principles and design. That is why I consider the Galibier nice. No criticism intended. My love of TW is based on ho...

Sonofjim,I don't doubt the Galibier tables are very nice. But there are a few major differences. These include material selection, certain motor calibration and syncronization differences, and lastly the main point is the bearing. TW uses a very d...

The table will retail for around $40K. It has some very novel features. I didn't want to post as it would come across as advertising but since some are asking let me go for it. What is a forum for but to share information. That is how I find out a... 
Wilson Alexandria V2
Jon_p You are blowing the resistors. So did I on my Maxx IIs if I play loud. Funny I have the VTL 750s But it was really loud and the resistors are there to protect from overdriving. So I called Wilson and yes the X-2s are the way to go. No doubt ... 
Playback designs followup?
Crna39,Question for you. As a DSD recording when you do a high res transfer, I assume you can't provide the native DSD file for transfer. Correct me if I am wrong. Maybe you can burn it but for download?If not, then by Hi Res you mean what exactly... 
Playback designs followup?
Not to rain on your parade, but while the Playback Designs player might be great, your over selling it just turns me & many others off. On a different note, a friend of mine owned one for several months and just prefered a unit by a different ... 
More convinced of analog than ever
I have what I consider IMO both top flight digital and top flight analogue. Johnnyb's excitement about the maturing of digital is extremely valid. And there might be a time that such maturity will make the analogue renaissance truly come to a tric... 
Phono stage match for Koetsu
I would add a Groove Plus as a recommendation. Very good synergy w. Koetsu. The next step up would be quite a bit of money. The regular Groove is excellent as well. I think some of the less expensive solid state units would be very good. 
Suitable cartridge fore Schroeder reference arm
I love the SQ w. the Titan I. Also, the combination w. the ZYX Universe but I prefer the Titan I. Not all cartridges sound best in the Schroder. It depends on the armwand mass and what the compliance is. Be careful & specify carefully. I would... 
how big a speaker can you put in an 11 x 11 room?
Depends how big the door is. 
No deep bass or highs: VTF or VTA issue?
One more idea. Listen with headphones and compare CD to Analogue. This will let you know if your subwoofer is interacting w. the turntable.
