| Musical Fidelity X-150 I used my MF A3CR pre-amps internal phono stage with my Scout. First with a Grado Red cartridge as a temp then with a Dynavector Karat. The phono stage is really quiet, but almost to the extent of sounding lifeless. Obviously I went to extreme's f... | |
| OEM Automobile Systems - How do you rate them? Because of my job I've had the chance to review most of the automobile "audiophile systems", sonically and from the engineering view point as in how could I make this work in car XYZ. The Levinson's in the Lexus line are closer to what you would e... | |
| Anyone hear the Von Schweikert DB-99? Pinging Tireguy...(he owns these)...while I have heard them I am sure he can paint a much better picture for you. Oh and you get more amp flexibility among other things with higher efficiency, just make sure you have quiet AC lines and equipment i... | |
| noise ..noise..noise.. Would the Granite Audio ground zero device help here? Its the only component of its kind I am aware of, seems pretty flexible. If I ever freak about my systems background noise I'd probably try it. | |
| Nominations for Product of the Year Hey Lakefrontroad(s!),No doubt the VR-11s are better. I got to hear them at length during CES in some after hours sessions when I had the fortunate opportunity of being included amongst the guys through a good friend of mine and Jtinns gracious... | |

| Cables for Richard Gray conditioner I just picked up a VH Audio Flavor 4 Gold with the intent of trying it out on all my components to find the best match, including my RGPC 400s mkII. However, it sounds so good on my amp that I will probably just buy another one to try throughout t... | |
| Best tracks to "show off" your system I've got my own "demo list" but the two new tracks that I think really stand out areJane Monheit, Love me or Leave Me from Taking a Chance on Love.Dixie Chics, Landslide from Homeland. | |
| Best speakers for Pass X150 Not that I have tried everything but I've got some Von Schweikert VR2s hooked up to mine. I have compared them favorably to B&W Nautilus 805 and 804 as well as the ML Aerius i. | |
| Max. dB level at break in w/ VR4jr "To break in woofers a little faster try using a Dixie cup centered over the dust cap to press GENTLY on the woofers about ten times. Be very careful not to make any off-axis movements."What is this supposed to due, loosen up the surrounds? Sounds... | |
| Record Cleaning Again Great, now I have to get two more brushes and two more heads for my VPI 16.5 and clean all my LPs again. I thought having two brushes, three fluids (yes I cheat and double uo two fluids on the same brush) and a mat was enough. Can't believe the ar... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4 GEN.III SE -VS- VR-4 JR? You mean the new VR-4sr? Yes I heard them at the CES show this year. Against the VR4-jr I would say you get improvements in midrange and upper treble clarity with the VR-4sr. It's certainly not bright or sibilant, believe me on that. One of the ma... |
