| Vac 70/70 Vs hurricanes I agree with Terry. I would also suggest the smaller Canary 309? (one 300B pair per channel) sounds better than the 339. I found the 339 veiled compared the Hurricanes, and slower in the bass. That being said a good Hurricanes, ie without noise is... | |
| ZYX Universe silver vs copper I have found the exact opposite qualities with the Airy3.I preferred the Cu in terms of naturalness. | |
| VAC Phono in Avatar Super A step up would provide too much gain.Suggest John's guidance be followed, or contact VAC. | |
| Aurum Acoustics Integris CDP It is much more than a player. A fine integrated preamp. | |
| Anyone ever try ear candles for better listening? yes, and no change noticed but it was fun to try.It depends on the residual accumulation of ear wax etc remaining in the ear canal. I use a Stylast after a shower for good effect, but must make sure it does not wick back up into my cochlea. | |
| fab audio model one vs. coincident total victories TVs are full range whereas FAB 1s need sub reinforcement.FAB may be more revealing and musical overall however and more efficient. I am sure Glider Guider will chime in on this one..As in all fine things, personal choice in a system context is key. | |
| KT 88 Integrated amps The Nelson audio i65 is excellent! Not sure if available on your side of the pond. | |

| The Schroeder has arrived I use an Airy3 LO on a DPS (described as 98% a reference by Herr Schroeder) and works well. The magnetic damping control is quite slick and effective. I use the K&K Phono stage. | |
| Fine tuning: Airy3 on DPS That's good information, thanks!I noticed how sensitive the Airy3 is to improper VTA. The Schroder (on my Garrard 301) is very revealing and thus facilitates this dialing in. | |
| Anyone using a Graham 2.2 with the Aries 2? I had to put spacer washers uder the arm board to raise it.Arm height adjustment range was insufficient. | |
| Idler wheel drive vs Belt Well I found a nice 301 off eBay.Tbg: can you tell me how much is a Shindo plinth, and which arm you are using? | |
| Idler wheel drive vs Belt Thank you to those who responded meaningfully.Johnnantais: any experience of comparative listening of the Lenco vs say a Teres or equivalent well executed belt drive? I do not have the possibility of hearing all comers, so I want to some comparati... |
