| John Mayer Trio??????? You bet. Just got the LP this week. This album is refreshing to hear him flex his creative muscle and dip into the blues style, which he pulls off quite well. I agree with Miner42, band is great but the recording does not do the music justice, at ... | |
| Always ON? System is off (phono stage always on since there is no switch) while I'm not listening, which unfortunately is too much of the time. However, before I listen I turn everything on and let the system warm up for 15-30 minutes and then enjoy. My amp ... | |
| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster owners. Glad to hear you got your new toy Stiltskin. Yes you will need to be patient to get things just right (cable burn in plus all the new adjustments) but its worth it. With my limited hours of listening each week it took me just about 2 months before... | |
| 750 US MC cartridge options Dynavector Karat and Shelter 501 for just a bit more are popular choices. Sumiko Blackbird and the new ZYX Bloom may be good choices too. Those cartridges represent a wide range in specifications and sonic signatures. If you like the 103R, the She... | |
| BAT VK-3iX or ModWright SWL 9.0SE? I own the 3iX in its standard configuration, and have had a chance to hear the ModWright. I was considering both of these products at one time and was torn, but I got a great price on the BAT and have not looked back. First, if your looking for th... | |
| Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa? I heard it demo'ed at CES in the Audio Note room on a track I know very well. Playing the track "as is" on this system was a treat to begin with and I hardly had any complaints. After treating the disc and playing again I noticed a more dimensiona... | |
| VH Audio Flavor 4 for Shunyata Hydra. I am using three VH Audio Flavor 4 Golds with my Hydra 2 and am running my pre-amp and amp off it. Certainly no complaints about the sound and I am happy with the improvements its made. I can't comment on the Shunyata PCs sonically as I've never h... | |
| Anyone know/heard anything about the ZYX Bloom Ballywho, let me know what you think of the cartridge when it arrives. This new model has me curious. Thanks. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rocking with SRV tonight. Got the Pure Pleasure Records 180g re-issue of Couldn't Stand the Weather while I was at CES this year and finally got around to playing it tonight. This album is one of my all time favorites and this release is the best ... | |
| Plasma Aftermarket Power Cord Try Nordost powercords. I just posted this on another thread....at CES Nordost showed the visual improvements on a Pioneer Elite plamsa display when swapping out the stock cord with their Vishnu. It sure did make things better, but thats a $700 po... | |
| Power cord for PLASMA Pioneer. Not sure which Pioneer plasma was being used for the demonstration (maybe a few year old Elite?) but Nordost did demo at CES this year. They played a video clip with the stock cord, then replaced it with one of their Vishnu powercords and replayed... | |
| Will VPI scout or Michell Tecnodec beat my emmlabs There are differences between digital and vinyl. Are we saying, and hearing, these differences as making one format better than the other? Its one of those classic audiophile arguments you have to answer for yourself.Having said that, I somehow do... | |
| Xbox help Edesilva is correct. You need to enter the system set up menu, turn on the unit without a game in the drive and you should be able to find it. There you can select the default format 4:3 or 16x9. From that point, your left to the mercy of the game... | |
| Eggleston Works Fontaine II I heard them at CES briefly. They were being driven by Pass amps (150.5 or 250.5) and sounded good as always. I'm not sure if the new versions are more efficient or not, but the 150W Ayre should be a good match. | |
| Scout w/Signature arm or Scoumaster w/standard ar Having gone through the whole upgrade path starting from a basic VPI Scout and upgrading one step at a time all the way to a Scoutmaster with JMW9 Signature arm and now finally an SDS...I agree with Rushton.You can start out with an excellent tabl... |
